Well I finally got my 68 he will need some welding done to him but body is pretty good,The carb needs to be clean or rebuild,He needs a Paint job I was thinking going back to the real color but the problem is the paint code is b and the vin break down did not have that. He has a 240 v6 in right now which will stay but I dropping the three speed on the tree, Just for me Nah not really I am making it auto for my wife.Well here is night pic I will get some more when it is day. Well my plan are turning the real color which I think is red and making it auto and use bedliner for the floors and the the bed and put a cd player in him. the true miles on him are 47,529 why you ask well the first owner bought it in 1968 drove it to 1974 and park it and his son the second own drove it from 2004 to 2005 and park it and I first got it in 2009 and gave it to my step father and it been park since 2009.

Shouldn't be that bad of a restoration, the panels all look straight.

Not a bad base to start with. Good find with that low mileage.

Re: 1968 F100 StoneWall
Well got some good news the carburetor might not need to be replace never did noticed but the choke cable was broke in it was open all the time, That might have been why it was cutting off also when I first got him I weld a bed in the back but now I realize I did not put no water holes in the back so it's been filling up well I got out there yesterday and did drill holes for that Other then that I been to busy from welding school to do anything else
