MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

O.K. so after regretingly selling my '68 to TRI-PRO. I searched and searched. Here is what I found. Once I get it home this afternoon, I am going to pull the Holley valve covers, intake and carb and replace them. It runs and drives just fine.

I plan on flat blacking it next week and lowering it.

Are you sure that wasn't the old LSU "War Wagon"?

Looks like a mighty fine truck to start with, she has a paint job that kinda resembles the later 73 up two tone trucks. Cb :bowtie:

:lol:

Love the color scheme!

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

you sure you dont want to bring that truck down here to my house the neighbors would love the color

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

Yeah.

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

Josh- I would definately START with the flat black....then fix the mechanical issues

Who masked those wheel arches for the two-tone?

I'm willing to help you turn a quick $300.00 profit

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

Good score man.

BTW - If you post that in the "hot Tennessee Trucks" thread, then I am qualified to post mine in there, even though I am 5 minutes across the border. Rules of qualification. :D

Just kidding man. Congrats - I know you have been wanting another.

why cant i find deals like that

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

I drove it around the farm last night for an hour, kid told me bad trans, I put 5quarts of fluid in it, messed around a little under the dash andhad working gauges, headlights, front marker lights, tailights, brake lights and a dome light. It all works, a little primer and I'll be on the road.

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

Not luck, just skill, heck can't beat it for a 1,000 bucks.

Come on.......add some lace inside the purple.. throw on some 70's style wheels and stand out in the crowd!b :lol:

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

No, sorry ther N2Billet, can't do it.

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

Man heck of a deal! it pays off to take a chance on some of these old trucks. I agree get it out of drag! Good buy!

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

Thanks, someone agrees.

I plan on trying to get it in black next week. I really want to drive it to Goodguy's Charlotte.

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

That's an awesome truck for a grand! The front bumper looks new! That is cool the tranny was fine. You could do another shade of yellow just over the purple and it would look ok, but flat black is always cool too :) Excellent score! Silly paint beats rust any day of the week!

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

Yeah but as my avatar shows I already have one yellow vehicle.

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

clean out your pm its full

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

O.k. send it again...

Just cleaned it out.

Re: MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie
 

Nice truck for a good price. That paint sure doesn't do it any favors though. I'd have to flat black it also.
