Re: lifted 2wd

I don't know about the '68's but couldn't you block the back, 2" longer springs in the front, and run taller 75 series tires to give it height? The reason I say this is that my '93 sat real high and it is a 2wd. I would have to look at the tire size for sure but I picked up the tallest 75 series that I could get because on my '89 (what they were going on) needed the wheelwells filled up. And I am kinda old school (or was until I get to looking at the fine rides on here) and like the looks of more rubber than rim (that is slowly changing...well maybe rapidly changing) My '93 looked like a pre-runner. It sat way high. Moreso than most that I have seen. And if you don't want to add blocks to the back, you could always get rear springs with more of an arch to them (maybe a 4wd rear spring) then add the longer springs to the front. You would be surprised as to how far a 2" longer spring will raise it. But if he wants it high like a 4wd then you may have to trade it off. I think my garage might have room for a '68 somewhere
Show him this one and maybe he will change his mind. The wife and I spotted this at a car show last year and I have to say this truck is absolutely georgeous. If I can remember right, it used to be a longbox that was shortened down. Everything on this truck was absolutely flawless and looked way better than a showroom floor truck. I wish I had gotten more pictures of it and the owners name. He's from here in Ohio. The bed and under the hood had to have many, many, hours in paint and polish. The bed inside was perfection I had the pic so I thought I'd post it. If anyone recognizes the truck as a members truck, I'd like to drop him a PM.
That's my $.02 worth this morning.
Happy New Years All!!! And may this year be better than the past years
