New member 68

Post by JTCope »

Been an owner of a 78 Full Size for awhile and purchased a 68 to keep it company. It's been sitting for awhile so i'm just getting it roadworthy. had 4 flat tires, so first thing was get it rolling by cleaning up the wheels and adding some new BFG's. working on getting the engine running again this week.

Welcome! Those are both great rigs! I like that 68 exactly the way it is-complete with old skool wheels and patina.

Justin- That's what i'm thinking. i spent 10 hours blasting and grinding the rust off the inside and outside of the original wheels. I'm thinking about repairing the rust in the rockers and trying to match the faded paint and just leaving it as is. Seats are original with no rips or tears, and it still has manual steering, brakes, and 3 speed on the column. completely original except i think it may have had a motor swap at some point because i didn't think 68 had te smog pumps as seen in this pic. I pulled it off already, but haven't had a chance to check casting #s on the block and heads to see what year they are.
