Sorry the truck is still dirty i cleaned all the rust spots up on the driver side bed and fenders and hood but the right side is still nasty & cab but it cleans up real good.

Sounds like it would be a nice setup.

Looking forward to seeing the seat. My 13 year old son just got a truck over the weekend - 68 GMC 3/4 ton longbed with a big block (not sure if it's 402 or 454 yet). Pretty sure it's going to be a complete teardown. Should be a learning experience for both of us

816allen · 03-26-2010, 01:10 PM

Got the bolts in there but after driving it around seat is WAY to high gonna have to use stock brackets or something....?

JRBECK64 · 03-26-2010, 01:18 PM

Nice Truck,
Have you thought about what color you want it? Looks like a great project. I am going to be in the KS area in May due to my Daughter having our 4th Grandchild. My Son in Law is stationed at Whiteman AFB. Is the bed in yours a steel bed or a Wood Bed? I just went to TX to pick up a Short wide bed for my 67 Short Wide and I am going to replace the Front Gate on it. I hope there is an easy way to put that thing in short of taking the whole bed apart. Good luck with your project.

VA72C10 · 03-26-2010, 01:41 PM

Looks like a solid truck to start with!

JRBECK64 · 03-26-2010, 01:47 PM

Guess if I would have looked at the pictures a little closer I would have noticed that it has a steel bottom bed. Just answering my own question.

rambler · 03-26-2010, 03:09 PM

great looking truck! and welome to another KC member! I have heard those seats can be a little bit high, might want to look for a tilt wheel from a van and convert it...

I've been looking for one for awhile, to replace my bench seat, just got to get it running again first!

So many board members near KC maybe we should schedule a mini-meet and greet...???

816allen · 03-27-2010, 04:19 AM
