Re: My 68 custom project
Welcome from the southern end of Mississippi.
I think your truck needs some springs and shock. It seems to be riding awfully low

Iremoved the stock 327 and added a 332 with 11to 1 comp. and a 305h comp cam. Built the stock trans and added a 3500 stall . It's a work in progress but I love this truck!!! More pics to come.

Re: My 68 custom project
The rears are 15x11 and the front are 15x7 the rear wheels I had made by wheel vintiques. Still 6 bolt and drums. The rear is a 68 gmc leaf spring that I flipped to get it low . Tucking 11 in of rubber!!!

Re: My 68 custom project
In my eyes 1968 was the best year for Chevy hands down . I like every model in 68 ,but especially my truck!!!!!!

Re: My 68 custom project
Lose the ladder rack . Lower it and make it haul ass instead of work tools and it will be perfect!!!!!
