My new 68 SWB
Alot of you thought I was wasting my money on this truck. But the only this that is wrong with it, is the cab floor and supports are cancerd out. The plus side is, It has a 71 Cleveland 4V , Front disc brakes, Brand new duel exaust, cherry hood,fenders, grill, frame, bed, and tailgate. Besides I just picked up a cherry rust free, damage free cab for $200. Going to keep the cleveland but clean it up. Swap out the truck 4speed with an AOD.

Re: My new 68 SWB
Who has the lift? And why didnt I use it when i did my cab? 
Looks like you've already made some good progress.
Thats gonna be a nice little truck when its done, you'll be glad you bought it.
