    I hate when they do that. It really just screws those trucks up.

    its a nice bed to upgrade to but then the f & r wheel well openings don't match. These trucks have round style openings, where the modern sportside beds are more squared.
    If I ever change my shortbed/stepside bed....it'll be for a short/wide (fleetside) bed but still have a wood floor.

    my truck started life with V6/3sp on the tree, and leaf rear suspension with drum brakes all around. I bought a '72 C-10 (disc brakes, coil rear) with a 305 sbc and turbo 350 and sold the body, using the '72 chassis under the '68 until last February when I started redoing the original frame. Lowered 4/5 with front drop spindles, tubular upper control arms, big front and rear sway bars, upgraded disc brakes, custom aluminum rear fuel tank, etc.

    wish I could get to my online pics....here's a few of the build.

    Thanks guys. I should mention....my truck is headed for its next phase....taking the motor back to its roots.
    I'm swapping out all the carb stuff to take the motor back to efi. Working out a trade to get most all of the stuff needed to swap it...and finally get it running a bit cleaner.

    I've got a 750 and a 650 Holley to choose from and dual AEM wideband a/f gauges to monitor things..... both carb's are fine for the track but on the street they wanna run either lean or rich....generally rich.
