1968 stepside swb stripper

My buddy and I drove this home last night. I like it - then I don't, have big plans - then want to sell it. ...and it hasn't been a day yet!

I know it's difficult to be accurate with one picture but here goes.

Factory 1968 SWB stepside
protect-o-plate in glovebox
purchased new by University of California - Davis
6 cyl with HEI runs good but could use tuning
truck 4 spd
factory 4.11 posi
coil rear
30x9.5 Sport King tires decent tread

One repaint in factory white with some bondo
cab floor looks better than alot of em
roof has a hole for what was maybe some flashing light
glovebox looks like it has been damp and rust under windshield gasket but 'hopefully' fixable without welding.
Door speakers
radio hole is untouched
exterior lights work
dash lights dont
cracked windshield
it drives nice

I already took the passenger mirror off.

We're thinking; clean it up, lower it without spending any cash, and bolt on some stock steelies or 6 lug rallys.

Re: 1968 stepside swb stripper

I'd give $1500-2500 for it, maybe a little more all cleaned up good, but I'm a tight wad when it comes to buying something.The 4.11 posi is a good plus!
Shoot, I'd do like you said, the lowering & steelies, & just cruise! Then not sell it for less than around $3500-4500.

Re: 1968 stepside swb stripper

OK... How about now? WIW? I'm about ready to list it. Maybe Ebay, maybe CL?

5 lug disc swap
17x8 TTII with little 235/45 Linglong Chinese tires - rims are hammered - story is from girlfriend driving the truck they were on.
put in a good windshield
added stainless around glass and wings
new carpet
3.42 rear
all new front suspension hardware, tie rods, ball joints, etc
new F&R brakes and master cylinder
Added Power Steering
redid the bed floor
serape blanket seat cover
cut front springs
6" lowering springs in the rear
added chrome sport bumpers front and rear
all the lights, gauges, locks, etc... work
None of the sheet metal is great. In fact it's not worth restoring in my opinion but it's a fun driver.

I'll post more pix later. My phone was stolen the other day and all my pix were on it.

Re: 1968 stepside swb stripper

I'll bet you'll be able to sell it to someone for 6-8k. I wouldn't personally pay that much but it's a swb, lowered with popular rims. If I were you I'd buy some decent used tires for those rims in a size more appropriate (more sidewall) for the truck...and ask 7-9k then...

Really? It looks better in the pix than it is. I'm thinking I'll list it after the 4th for $4200 and see where that goes.

Re: 1968 stepside swb stripper

Made a deal with the first guy that showed up for $4k. I may have gotten more if I held out but I'm happy with that and the guy liked it for what it was.
