Default pictures of my 68 pickup

hey all here is a picture of what my 5.3 is going into. I have it more complete now with trim and all but no pictures with me. I need to get the motor installed and drive it!
I will need to get more.

Nice 68 man. Im a big fan of the 67-72 SWB Chevys!!! That will be a first man a 68 with the LM7 motor. Where did you get the 5.3 from? Any mods to the motor?

Truck looks good!

I have a '66 Chevy Truck that I am considering putting in a 5.3L also. How hard is the swap?

looks like a 69-72 corner cutter

are you going with or without chrome

great thing about these trucks is the availability of parts

Hell you can about build the complete truck with the parts thats available

keep us up to date on the swap

very nice.. i love that era of trucks as well... gm should make the new SS silvy's with a retro look kinda like that ... but that will never happen im afraid

How much does it weigh that year from the factory? Heavier than late models, right?
