3.50 gears and overhaul kit came in today. Debating doing the gear swap myself. I haven't built a rear end since college so I might take it to the machine shop I use.

Re: 68 crew cab project
Looks like things are coming together, man! But you'd better be careful where you pile up your parts, the wife can't get to her cookbook! 
Do you get yelled at for opening packages with the good steak knifes too?

Re: 68 crew cab project
Lola approves of the patch panel. The pass side floor was pitted and thin so I decided to cut in a new piece.

Re: 68 crew cab project
I junked the other crew cab after getting all I wanted off it. A guy kept saying he was going to come buy it,but never did. I needed the room so it went by-by.

I know where 2 more are, but they are rusty junk. Good for the frames and misc. parts. Both long bed crews.

Re: 68 crew cab project
Thought I would do something a little different on my dash. So I am putting a Dent dash in it and modifying it.
