Hey Guys! I recently purchased a 68 Chevy P/U that I am sure will become an ongoing project! It has a 90 stepside bed that I will be replacing with the original fleetside soon. The previous owner converted the truck to a 4x4 using a dana 60 front end out of a late 80's dodge, and a GM 14 Bolt rear end, I am unsure of the gears in either....as I am about much of the rest of the truck, but that's why these things are called works in progress right? Anyway, this will be my first attempt at a restoration and i am very excited to have found such a great website to hopefully help me through this endeavor!
