Found the forum the other day , lots of usefull things . Working on a j cash special here , one peace at at time . It is mostley apart , cab from 69 or newer ( floor park brake ) 3/4 ton , must have been a gmc at one time . It has wire harness for the four head lights , going to use high beem plug for driving lights ( and its allready there ) . Had high hump but been cut down to flat floor ( still removable ) , sun roof and 5 cab marker lights tilt wheel from who knows ( w/ key on side ). Dont know what the brake booster from but it has more holes than needed . A arms and dics brakes from 78 1/2 ton , 283 engine thats need some tlc . Going back with new 67 fenders and inner fenders . Needing new radiator support .Frame is solid, had rear coils that has been changes to leaf . The bed is step side from around a 65 . When i had it titled at the local dmv , speedo showed fewer miles than before ( somemone could have changed it ) .
Just a couple questons - are parts innerchangable on older trucks and what do you thing about newer style step bed ( say like 94 ) on the 68 ?

Re: Greetings from southwest Virginia
Welcome to the board from South Mississippi. Check out our FAQ submissions page, Index thread to find some really good reading.
Here's a link.  http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=157669 Check the Pictures forum for trucks with the newer model beds. If the wheel arches are made to match it looks ok.

Re: Greetings from southwest Virginia
Welcome to the board for California
In my personal opinion, I'm not to fond of the newer beds on older trucks. I would say stick with the correct year bed
