I just traded my 100% rust free 87 GMC 2wd Suburban for a 68 Galaxie 500 2 door hard top. It has a 390 with automatic. I might have just lost out on a real nice truck. I did look over the car real good before I bought it and saw the issues. Both sides under the doors have frame rot, it looks to be just the frame bottom is gone. The trunk inside looks good, quarters have just a little bit of rust, a couple small holes in the floor, and a poor interior. The good is I got to drive it home and it made it. It drives amazingly, aside from the scare that I though the belt came off.... it turned out to be that the front left hubcap came off. It looks like, according to the registration, it was last road legal was in 99.
I do have a couple questions - (1)My steering wheel is ugly with the big pad in the center, it is also in bad shape. What year steering wheels will fit that are about the same size, still factory ford? I was thinking more of a sportier 3 spoke steering wheel with steel horn button. (2)My dash cap is in real bad shape, can you take the padded material off the dash and leave it steel? Does anyone have a pic of one without a dash pad? (3)The front seat, split back bench, is also in bad shape with steel showing. What year seats can I use? I'm sorry for not knowing, never had a galaxie before. Also the hood scoop isn't real, not even bolted down, it was just sat there messing around.
