Here are some pics of my hooptie. These are old pics but the outside still looks the same. I brought my wife (mostly for me

)a new digital camera for Christmas

so I will have some new pics of the engine soon.

sharp looking truck !

jostrans68 · 12-14-2002, 02:53 AM

Nice What color is that it looks like the ocean blue metallic I am using on mine?

Ron's68 · 12-14-2002, 03:15 AM

I'm not 100% sure but was told its midnight blue metallic

SweetandLong68 · 12-14-2002, 06:41 AM

I like it! Looks good! What kind of drop do you have? How did you go about getting the drop you wanted.

thanks
CHRIS

Ron's68 · 12-14-2002, 07:32 AM

The rear has drop springs, Ebiach, 5". The front has cut springs. It doesnt ride too bad but I still plan to change it this summer. I am hoping to do some kind of subframe drop with drop spindles and springs. On the rear I want to ad either 1 or 2" blocks, I think it would need a frame notch too. I dont really want to deal with air bags cause I dont have the money. I would rather put the money I have into other parts of the truck. Like new rims and tires, and a bed cover.

Bill72BB · 12-14-2002, 12:12 PM

Nice truck Ron

Is that a late model 60/40 chevy seat ?

Ron's68 · 12-15-2002, 03:08 PM

Thanks for the nice comments on my truck. Bill it is a original seat that has been recovered.

billogna · 12-15-2002, 09:29 PM

Did you have your glovebox door chromed or did you buy it? If you bought it, where? I want to have a chrome ring around the outside to match the factory instrument panel, and thought that I'd just paint the center of a chrome door if I could find one. Nice truck.

DanoDMano · 12-15-2002, 09:50 PM

Very nice ride, I like the color and stance!!!

Ron's68 · 12-15-2002, 11:19 PM

Hay Bill, the glove box was chrome when I bought the truck. I have been trying to find a smooth chrome dash to match. I have seen them on peoples trucks but only in pictures.

Arad68 · 12-15-2002, 11:35 PM

Ron,

That is one sharp '68! I hope mine looks that good one day!!

I really like the chrome glove box door!!!!

is that a late model rear bumper?

Ron's68 · 12-31-2002, 06:14 PM

Rayvlle, yes it is a late model rear bumper. It fits well and looks good.(imop). There is a little 1in" notch cut out of the upper corner to make it fit.

Hooter · 12-31-2002, 06:42 PM

Those can't be too old! I can see a 2000 GMC in the background! Nice truck!
