Hosers 68 Chevy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've been on this forum looking around for a little bit now asked some questions and got some great info. and help. I have actually meet a few people and one of the first questions is where's your build thread. So I figure i'll give a shot.

A little back ground I've always been into these trucks my first one was a 72 when I was sixteen. Through the years I've had several for example 72 2wd blazer,70 suburban, and several trucks.

This current build actually started with a 67 stepside (which changed) that i've had for about 10 yrs if not longer that has been torn apart for probaly 9 of them. It's just been sitting due to money,family you name it just life has put it on hold. Luckly i've been able to hang on to it really do to the fact it wasn't eating anything

Anyway I've been working on it for a few months and I'll try to bring it upto date.

Finally brought the frame home and read to start the work.

**CYLFD** · 01-27-2013, 12:54 AM

A little frame disassembly

**CYLFD** · 01-27-2013, 02:03 PM

So this is as far as i got in the process before a change comes along. I didn't have a bed the one that came with the truck got stolen out of my drive way along with the trailer it was sitting on. So I had been looking for one and I run across some parts and end up going a totally different truck.

**CYLFD** · 01-27-2013, 02:12 PM

Ran across a 68 with porterbuilt front dropmemnder with c4 componets and almost enough parts for two trucks. Found it on CL and I'm pretty sure the po is a member on here.

Everything is home and to sort it all out

You know I just hate when someone steals from a working man trying to fix up his ride. Don't let it undo anything you are trying to fix my friend and good luck and God speed.

So I didn't hesitate and ordered my rear disk brake set up from Justin @ Scott's Hotrods great guy to work with very helpful.

Love the red PB parts. They really stand out. I'm sure they'll look great with some nice matching calipers. Keep up the good work!!
