Does the 78 have intermitent wipers? That is my favorite thing from that era of trucks.

Re: Starting 68 Short Bed build
SHU,
Add the seat and the hood cowling gasket to your list if they are in decent shape. The clutch/brake pedal assemblies should work also with a little work on them:

I thought there was a list somewhere on here that Keith had created for this?
