68 Chevy 1 ton

These are some pics of ol truck.People always ask when I am going to finish it.They look at me funny when I tell them it's finished.just a little backround on it.I paid 1100 for it.I used as many gm parts from alot of different gm trucks.just did my homework.engine came from a guy who built it and fired it up dry,killing the cam,price? free cost to fix? 250.disc conversion was 20 bucks for all parts.most of the other stuff came from trucks i parted out.all told i have 2750 in this thing.i did use new ball joints and tie rod ends and bushings for safety.have put thousands of miles on this thing and not one problem.currently the motor and trans are out.putting in a 408 small block and rebuilding the t10 after I broke the retaining collar off during a nimpromtu display of power,lol

st10 out of 74 t/a custom front shaft (biggest expense of the whole build)

68 power booster with 93 master cyl,had to make an adjustable push rod,also used the 93 prop valve.truck stop perfect and with authority!

took the tank out from behind the seat and mounted this one from a 91 van using a sending unit out of a 75.

shot of the bracket i made to mount the 90 gmc column to the dash.

Interior shot,90 gmc seat and homemade shifter.

overflow tank i made out of exhast pipe and a valve cover breather

used 69 marker lites and moved them to the top of the grille

disc brakes off of a 90 1 ton box van.using 90 ball joints they bolted right up to my control arms

steering box is out of a 89 4wd blazer with a 79 2wd pitman arm and a 90 gmc tilt column.

ooooo pretty.using the 90 1 ton spindles gives me alot more camber gain.better handling

this is how i found it.1100 bucks ditched the 72 front end first thing
