while your truck is still in the same generation (i think), that's not the oldest they go. a body lift is simply a few pieces nylon (etc.) that you put on top of your body mounts. I have a 69 f100 and i found my lift on autopartsauthority.com. you could also just make some from wood...

DO NOT MAKE A LIFT OUT OF WOOD it is NOT safe! the body lift i believe is for a 4wheel drive truck, the steering box is in a different place and will not work on a 2 wheel drive truck. i dont know what yours is but just worth mentioning. if it is a 4x4 i would say it should fit. if you have a 2 wheel drive i would look into an autofab.com kit. or getting taller springs and getting an alignment done to get the camber and caster fixed.

Deershooter, As long as the trucks are similar 4 wheel trucks etc, any thing that will work on a 70 should fit a 68. They are the same series, 4wd X 2wd excluded.
