Welcome Denny from a fellow Texan.
I know at least four short fleet sides are in Texas becouse I own them. I might consider selling one of them to finish another truck I have started. It is a 68 with power windows, 5 inch chop top,400 sb, auto,power disc brakes,shaved handles,and a whole bunch more great stuff, but it is still a project with lots of things to be done yet. Just email or instant mesage if you are interested.and welcome again. Chevyman 68 C/10

Welcome from Dallas. There were a couple of swb in the truck trader as of last week when I looked. I've got 2 fleetsides + another swb leaf frame so I know they are out there.

yea, ive been looking as hard as i can. i know a couple of people with these bodystyle trucks, and thats what has me interested in them. chevyman 68c/10. i am not interested in a chop top, just never liked them, too radical. thanks for the offer though. been looking in the autotrader/classic/and truck, havent found one that was decent that i could afford. been looking on ebay, and through the paper also. when i was in high school, i had a 82' gmc short/wide that i did numerous amounts of work to, including a 4.5/6 in drop. thanks for all the welcomes. tommie houston

Wow, when I was in Tx you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a SWB 67 - 72. Get aholed of a thrifty nickle from the Fort Hood area. Just be sure you aren't getting a bondo'd Ohio truck. They import rust buckets to military areas.
