Great job saving/preserving this one!

The front track is wider than the rear already and when you do the disk conversion up front it'll get wider yet. I'd use big-n-littles to offset that difference some.

Ya I will have to do some rim/tire fitting to get the right stance once I get my cab and box back on!

Ok i finished up most of the patina work on the cab and fenders. It turned out pretty decent and i will finish it once the truck is completely together but heres some pics so you get the idea!

[jlsanborn]

Well done! Love all the photos. Trim is really cool!

[6t9camaro]

Thanks guys!
I figured when I look through build threads I like to see pics so I post lots of pics! Lol

Nice job on the patch work and blending the patina

[6t9camaro]

Got the windshield in today! Gotta love the look of a new clear windshield! I ordered up the green tinted style and so far it looks pretty good. And of course my little guy gave it the thumbs up of approval!

[6t9camaro]

I also went out and picked up the longbox frame thats going to be cut down! Frames nice and straight but its got a few issues that will need to be addressed.
My wife even showed up in the 68 to help! Lol

Windshield looks great ,your little guy is so cute posing in there too. It's good to have a wife into the old projects too ,you got it pretty good.

[6t9camaro]

Yup I'm not going to complain! kids like to help and she gives me my garage time and puts up with me buying lots of cars and parts! She's not really into the whole patina, air ride thing (yet) as she likes fancy wheels and paint jobs but i compremised and told her the old truck will have a "like new interior" for her when we cruise around!

[GR8-68]

Awesome build and I love the extent you are going to to preserve the original paint

[jlsanborn]

Looking good! How tough was the windshield install? I've watched the videos that Precision puts up and it doesn't look very fun.

[6t9camaro]

Windshield install was easy! I use lots of soapy water in a spray bottle and the rope tool! I put the seal on the windshield first and then wrap the rope tool around. That's way easier (I've found) than putting the rubber seal into the truck first! Start at the bottom to center the windshield and then start working your way out to the sides and finishing at the top!

You have been doing some great work! someday i may have to learn the fine art of paint blending.

[6t9camaro]

Lol thanks!

Ya blending can be kinda tricky but it can be done! Just takes lots of trial and error!

[GAc10boy]

Wow! Very impressed. Definitely in for this one. Can't wait to see it finished.

[6t9camaro]

Heres a few more pics of the frame once i got it home. its got some good old farmer welds holding the back overload springs on so thats going to be interesting to cut off! good thing chopping 8" off the back should get it all!

[6t9camaro]

Finally got the frame in the the garage and started cutting! it will be a short box frame soon! i took lots of pics for anybody that might be attempting to do this!

[6t9camaro]

[6t9camaro]

Double check the measurements and weld her up!
