Re: Let's see those slant noses. Calling all 67's & 68's, clips too.

I have had this since about 1995, but the breaks started giving problems about 8 or 9 years ago, so I parked it till I got time to work on it. I never meant for it to take this long, but things happened, started a business, money was tight for a while with one kid in college & another in high school, house needed remodeling, you know, life got in the way. It's a little rough, it had been a farm truck when I got it & it shows it's age, but it has less than 70,000 miles on it.

Has the stock 307 with a 3 on the tree & radio delete. Maybe eventually will transplant a LS into it, but for now, just gonna stick with the original. I scarfed up a 72 today as a donor for the disc breaks & power steering. Got lucky as it also has air, the full gauge package & a tilt column.

I got the opportunity to see your truck at the Coker cruise-in this past weekend. All the photos that have been posted, can not do your truck justice. Very cleanly done, and looks great! Paul Baxter
