1968 Chevy SWB Fleetside Vortec 5.3L Build
Hi all
First I will introduce myself, my name is Brian. Ok now for some back story on my truck. I started looking for a short wheel base truck having no prefrence on whether it was a fleetside or stepside I like both, and after about a month of looking I ran across this stepside that was a two owner, unfortunately it was used as a farm truck and had gone through a couple of different drive trains so it was no longer numbers matching. The truck had also been wrecked some years before I got a hold of it and the frame was bent just in front of the suspension crossmember. I found this good old boy that had worked at Pontiac in their body shop for 25+ years and he had his own frame machine and he straightened it for me for $250 which I thought was a reasonable price. After she was straight I started on the frame restoration which is where the pictures for my project starts. This truck will be used as a daily driver, Enjoy.
