My Finished 68 Stepside
 

It's been 6 1/2 years in the making, and I finished it a little over a week ago.( But we all know they are never finished) This site has been very helpful ,and I only wish I had found it earlier. It's Wintermint green, powered by a 406 with a roller cam,alum heads, etc,etc, 9"Rear with a brace, with good parts inside, turbo 400, and 4 wheel discs. Inside it has a custom Ultra-leather interior with buddy buckets and custom headliner. It's been a labor of love and money, and I'd like to thank all who have had kind words and helpful advise! This is a great site with a great bunch of people! Here's some pics. I'm open to constructive critizism, just be nice!

I'll be the first to say very nice truck. We need some more pics.

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

Great job! Everything looks great to me. The only thing I would change would be to lower it a little more, but thats my personal preference. Love the bed wood and headliner!

That's one slick looking truck! Great work! That bed should be displayed in a museum of art :)

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

Good lord thats nice!!!!!...wow the bed is perfect as well..love it.

Constructive critism....i would change the rims if it were mine, they may date the truck a bit??? and maybe lower the rear abit???...again spiltting hairs on a truck i would die to own...so nice!!!!! congrats on a job well done!!!!

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside

Mr Big,

Very nice work! Lots attention to details. Let's see more pics. One question, you have a radio delete plate with an antenna, got a hidden radio somewhere? I would go with a shorter or no antenna. Just my .02........Flat67

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a beautiful truck!!! Doesn't it feel good to be able to cruise in it now...after all that blood, sweat & tears? No criticism here, my friend.

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

like the color! diff. wheels and fleetside bed, and that things TUBBEDD

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

Super Nice!!! Love the color!!!

Is that a aftermarket cowl hood?

I ask because I have a Goodmark on my '67 and it doesn't sit down over the fenders nearly as nice as yours.

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

Greg, there is nothing not to like!!!!! Hope to see it in person one day, we are only three hours away.....

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

Thanks to all for the kind words! I also think I need to bring the rear down a couple of inches. The antenna is there because I originally intended to have some tunes, but kinda changed my mind, and I didn't have time to re-do the cowl. It ran 7.86 at 85.95 last Wed night at the local 1/8th mile strip, first time out. It won Best of show at the local Quaker Steak & Lube the next night, and Best GM the next night at another local car show. It's alot of fun to drive, very streetable, and it makes alot of people smile. Here's some more pics:

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

Looks great! Hopefully I'll get to see it in person.

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

Yes it is an aftermarket hood, and it took alot of fab work to fit. We basically had to split it down the sides and fit and re-weld. Big Al and Hart Rod, we should do that some time, Maybe the Turkey Rod Run or something like that.

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

Wow...we need more underhood pics and under truck pics...hell we just need more pics.....what a truck!!..

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

Very nice ride. I love the fact you left the chrome and didnt paint all of it body color.

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

thats a fine looking ride there.....nice job...:metal:

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

Big Snook, Looks fantastic man. Just awsome!!! Mabey I'll catch ya at Sunshine sometime, or quaker state.....It would be awsome to see your ride in person. The chrome wheelwells look killer against the wood floor and fresh mint paint, I really like the way the bed looks.....Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

Looks like the 6 1/2 years was worth it!!! Beautiful ride!

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
 

Awesome work and attention to detail! Congratulations on getting it finished!

Re: My Finished 68 Stepside
