Welcome! In your photo, it looks pretty nice. To get parts, you will need to ask here first. The folks here are always willing to help out. There are a ton of used stuff here, and all you need to do is ask. You also may want to look into my CD that I wrote. Just click the WWW link at the bottom of my post and get an idea of what it is about. OR, just email me with questions about the CD, or anything pertaining to the 68 that you have. I have some parts, or I can email you a list of places where I bought parts when I restored my 68. Good luck with your new truck.

Hello and welcome to the elite group of Dodge Sweptline owners. It's true that parts might be difficult to find at times but it's worth it to stand out a little from the ho-hum, look alike other brands. Your truck looks good in the picture. If I were you I'd buy Jim's cd that he already mentioned. It's worth it's cost just for entertainment value but buy it for the information it contains. This forum and the other one, dodgesweptline.org, are the best sources for parts, information, and the occasional encouragement you might need. BTW, where are you located?
Thanks for the information everyone. I am located in Batavia, Ohio...which is close to Cincinnati. I have some more pictures to post as soon as I get them downloaded. Just wondering if the price was right on this old dodge...we gave $2750. Looking forward to talking to everyone about your mopars!!!!

welcome to the forum, good to see someone from the opposite sex finally join in! hope you got a thicker skin then the last one, we are all a good group of guys, willing to help anyway possible to get your truck runing and looking right. but, as a group of good old boys, we tend to get a bit crude at times. heres to hoping you got a good sence of humor, and hang around long enough to become one of the guys! looks like you got a good start on a nice truck BTW!

Welcome to the site young lady. There is an abundance of parts and info as well as advice to be had here on this wonderfull site. The HMFIC Scott keeps things rolling on an even keel.
Your truck sure beats the heck out of mine, want to trade? You will find the "Good, Bad and Ugly" swepts here and all of their owners are just as proud as can be just to have one, or 2, or 3, or more.

Sherri,
You should try to get to the MoPar Nationals in
August. Goldie.... a member of this site, is having
an open house for Sweptline owners at this place
and you might even be able to hook up with some
folks who have some parts.The Nationals are in
Columbus the 12th-14th of August.

Thanks everybody! This is an awesome site! I was getting pretty nervous thinking I wouldn't be able to find anything for this truck! We did some clean-up on the motor yesterday. I am going to try and keep everything as close to original as I can get. It DEFINITELY needs a paint job, too. But that is a little bit down the road. Any suggestions for the color? Nothing too GIRLY now!! The insurance came through on it yesterday afternoon, so I finally get to drive MY TRUCK to the cruise-in tonight! As far as the motor, it has a 318. Thanks for the help guys, I am gonna need all I can get! Hey Wideblock66...thanks for the warning! I think I'll be around for awhile...as long as you don't pick on me TOOO bad! I am used to it around here, the guys around here like to give me a hard time!

Welcome Mopar Girl
Mopar Girl,
good to see you have good taste I'm curious though on how you came to get your truck, as far as in my case I've liked the style (box)and design (good lines) that attracted me to want to fix it up. I would like to hear what it was that brought you and your truck together?

I LOVE the box style as well. I have always wanted a Dodge. I just couldn't decide between a truck or a car. This ole truck just happened to go up for sale just at the right time! I LOVE trucks...always have..always will. I seem to already be getting teased about it by the women around here. Apparently they just have different taste than I do. It doesnt matter to me what they think of a girl driving a truck. I dont have any problem with it, so that is all that matters, right??!!! Thanks for all the compliments guys!

nice truck
think you have a hot looking truck so the driver look hot.
Glad to have ya aboard. Sorry to take so long to say welcome, but I've been a bit busy driving across the western part of the US. Been from Casper Wyoming to Elpaso TX in the last week. and still worked 56hrs at the fire department. Hope you find all the info and parts your looking for here. There is a wealth of information to be had on this site, so if you dont understand something or need advice just post it and someone here has either had the same problem or knows someone who has and knows how to help.
I also recomend that you buy Jim's CD its the best 20 bucks you'll ever spend. I would say it like an owners manual for sweptine trucks.
