Re: Overhaulin' my 68
What did you use for perches to put that 460 in the truck?

Re: Overhaulin' my 68
Those 3-point west coast jr. mirrors look better then I though they would on a costum truck like yours! I like the airbag setup too. Great job!

Thats a nice ol ride. You ever finish up the column at the bottom. I modded an 84 column cover for mine. Worked remarkably nice. Otherwise Id have to say it looks absolutely amazing.

Re: Overhaulin' my 68
I got a 79' F-250 2wd donor truck and just swapped perches and drivetrain from that.
I'll have to check out the cover for the bottom of the column, that and I'm going to make some custom door panels this winter.

Re: Overhaulin' my 68
Ill try to send you a pic of mine sometime. The trim is the same diameter as the tilt columns so fits well. Little work to make it fit the dash and I think it looks like it belongs. I even notched mine around my tachometer. Total cost was bout 3 dollars for trim at yard and bout 30 minutes or so cutting. The trim will work from early 80s f100 to f350.

Re: Overhaulin' my 68
I know you guys asked about the fuel tank a long time ago but I don't remember what brand it is. I think it is a 22 gallons.
Tire size is 285/60-18 Hankook Ventus AS on Eagle 18 X 9 rims.
All the striping I'm going to do is done. The only thing I'm going to try and do yet is custom door panels. We'll see how it goes this winter.
