Sold the project to a guy north of Las Vegas!!--Obamanomics!!-bought this truck out of georgia--Will sell for good money down the road--2 owner 1 repaint--In this times I decided that I would spend time and money on finished rides --not as fun but satisfying somewhat!!

As far as the flatout pieces --Loved them --but Corvette rack placement forces engine placement moves that I did not like--Next time i would use something with different rack design!!

I have the new Porterbuilt Dropmember on my 68 swb. It is sweet as heck to me. Can't wait to see how it handles. I also have Porterbuilts rear C4 Dropmember too. Not yet installed though. I went with Porterbuilt over Flat-Out Engineering because Flat-Out didn't have a rear C4 set-up.

Should I be worried that you are a truck guy too?
