68 chevy c10 swb (short wide bed)...got pics but cant find my cam cable..

white/primer grey bed and hood, straight 6 w/ 3 on the tree, original wooden bed. guy wants 1500 obo. needs new front tires, right fender patch panel, new rocker panels, floorboard patches, body bushings...but overall is a VERY solid truck. if i get it im planning on doing all the body work and completely shaving it and primering for right now, then save up some money to paint and bag it. no room for a real system bc on these trucks, the gas tank is RIGHT behind the seats

would liek it to look something like this for the time being..

anything that'll fit without screwing up original (besides the radio). assuming it's a manual, right.

even better. i had a '68 ford unibody when i was younger (3 in a tree, straight 6)

and the center hump was plenty large enough for a 10 ported or maybe a sealed 12. which also could double with cup holders on top (like you'd let anyone drink anything in there anyways), just a little custom center console. very cool truck.

drop a 350 in it. had a straight 6 in a '68 ford and it was like pulling an anchor behind it. that kinda ruins the "all original" though if you care.
