I believe 68s made before Jan 1, 1968 did not require reflectors.

Don’t get much opportunity to get to Escondido. Last time I was there some years ago, I picked up a 68 Cuda 340s fastback.

I have seen very few yellow trucks on the forum. Your's looks great. My '67 is the same color combo. I want my paint to look as good as yours does (when I can afford to get it painted).

Thanks...

Thanks guys for your comments. Found a steel grill and had it chrome plated, I couldn't get the aluminum one to polish out like I wanted it.

Beautiful truck, love the stance. What did you do to the front end, or is it stock? What size tires? Great work!
