'68 Shortbox Chevy pickup.


Recommended Posts

Been working on this one on and off for around 5 years now. It's not perfect but it's done and I'm happy with it.

Started with an old '68 cab and used a last issue '72 for the box and chassis plate. Both were shortened. 
Then the '68 trim was added to the sides and the tail gate and tail light sections were rebuilt to look more like the real trucks. Custom mixed pearl blue paint. Resin headlight lenses added along with tail light and backup light lenses made from scratch.
The engine and most of the underhood detail ls from the '72 kit but I smoothed the firewall and added more correct inner fenders. Radiator and shroud is made from scratch.
Interior is stock '68 with shift and signal levers added along with flocking.
Pegasus wheels and tires with Cragar SS centers added that I made and cast.

She's not a 100 point build but I'm happy with it.
