Proud new owner of a 68 Bumpside longbed that I just brought home 2 weeks ago Saturday.
First order of business was to change all the fluids & bleed the brakes as there weren’t any to speak of
.Truck has a 360 with some long tube headers , which sound pretty good .
There’s some tapping in the motor at idle which I’m hoping is just some sticky valves but with my luck, who knows ... I really haven’t had much of a chance to take her out for a nice ride .
Plans are to clean her up & fix as much of the rust/rot spots as I can while still cruising around enjoying my “new” ride .
I’ve ordered an original inner fender which should be here tomorrow along with some used NOS emblems , LED tail lights & a Dashboard Jesus to watch over us .
Overall the truck is in pretty decent shape and I’m not really looking to invest too much $ fixing her up other than just having a fun, safe weekend cruiser .
I’ve been trying to upload some pics from my phone but it keeps telling me the file is too large .
