Re: Overhaulin' my 68
Repainted gauge bezel and a new sterring wheel.
Power windows and locks are in.
Bed Liner
Just put the glass in and got the carpet down.
A few Transmission adjustments and it'll be on the road
2 1/2 years in the making.

Re: Overhaulin' my 68
Very nice job indeed, I too like the choice of color(s).
How about vendor and part numbers of the PW and power door locks please?

Re: Overhaulin' my 68
Thanks,
They are very good with any questions about there stuff. Not alot of time on them yet but they seem to work good so far.
Hope this is what your looking for.
The kit is offered by Spal. The number on the box is 33000030. The switch kit was a separate item and I don't have a number for that, sorry. http://www.spal.itbasketcase0302 wrote:Very nice job indeed, I too like the choice of color(s).

Re: Overhaulin' my 68
Fantastic work! I've gotta do a paint booth like that.
I noticed two lines to your tank. Are you fuel injected?
Ooops, never mind I saw the 750 Holley in your first pics.

Re: Overhaulin' my 68
Wow, truck looks fantastic! Hey, what did you use for a fuel tank? I'm looking to do the same, but I don't want the filler cap in the bed, I'd like to do it the way you did!
