Gretchen! The Green 68! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hell Forum! I am new to your amazing site and can't wait to get my Chevy feet wet! My truck, 1968 Chevrolet C-10 Long bed. 327ci, 3 on the tree, 76,000 original miles! She is my first Bow Tie and I can't wait to get her looking awesome! I aquired this truck through a friend whos dad bought it off the lot in 68'. I had a little mazda B2200 but as fate would have it, that got stolen from in front of my house about 6 months ago. After a couple months a very good friend of mine saw I was hurting for a vehicle to get to school and work so he gave me this classic chevy! She's pretty solid all the way around. Very minimal rust and a strong running motor! She did sit in Pollock Pines for almost 2 years so I have started my project with fuel delivery and charging system replacements, and plan on begining some sanding and primering here in the next few days! I am in need of front fenders and any tips or suggestions that any of you may have! Thanks for the time and can't wait to update everyone soon!!!

Looks like a great start! And welcome to the forum, I'm in Carmichael so we are neighbors.

mygreat68 · 02-22-2011, 02:08 AM

Yes we are neighbors! Thats awesome! Whats it say on the side of your truck. I believe I've seen you around. If not i'm sure I will. Hey do you know of anywhere local I can get my windshield re-sealed. I have called around to most glass shops and they won't touch my truck. they say it's too old.

A couple of months ago my neighbor was having his windshield replaced, and like you I had been turned down a lot due to the age of my truck. But I asked the person doing his and he said he would replace it no problem. I have their card somewhere, I'll get you their information tomorrow.

You bet! I found the card a little bit ago. I got a quote of $257.90 to replace my windshield and replace the gasket. But anyway, they're called Safelite AutoGlass, Tamara Goebel (916) 288-0208. Hope this helps!
