I love auto swap meets!!!!! Found a patinafied nice 68' custom today, AC cab, power steering, power brakes, soft ray glass, rotted wood bed, 327 cid with a three on the tree, uncut dash, mostly unmolested condition with 99% of the moldings still intact!

And the best part, it has 2013 tags and it runs!!!!!!! Yippee no back fees!!!!

I wish I could of went to the swapmeet. But the dog had puppies. Nice find. Looks like you need an accessory horn button. I just happen to have one or two sitting in the garage.

How many puppies did your neighbors dog have? Why don't you drop off the horn button and I'll let you go wash "Gumby"

Since it's not an automatic...that truck is screamin' for a car 4spd!

big_al_71 · 09-24-2012, 08:19 AM

perfect truck to send to delmo and let him do his thing on it. How I would love to own this one..

68Stepbed · 09-24-2012, 08:38 AM

Rene saves another one!! Too bad he doesn't leave many for the rest of us!

**CC69Rat** · 09-24-2012, 08:53 AM

You should make it a long bed.

(kidding .. )

Very nice! What are the plans for it ? I love a 3OTT. So much personality. I bought a 68 SWB stepper with an M21 in it a while back. Sooo much fun to drive.

A little CLR on the driver's bedside and cowl and just drive it. ? The Delmo idea would be sweet too though.

duallyjams · 09-24-2012, 08:56 AM

Back burner , yeah right , bet Kev is already working on a tilt

no moa · 09-24-2012, 08:58 AM

I've said it once and i'll say it again. GAWD i hate you west coast guys!

eagleuh1 · 09-24-2012, 09:14 AM

Please let my son have his little brother he so desperately wants!

bigguy69 · 09-24-2012, 09:17 AM

**68bowtie** · 09-24-2012, 09:40 AM
