The man behind the metal
Dave
Johnston
Owner, operator and the hands on every build. Sixty8 Industries is a one-man fabrication shop grown out of a lifelong obsession with trucks — and one '68 C10 that refused to be ordinary.
The story
It started, like most good things do, with a truck that was more project than transportation. A 1968 Chevrolet C10 — the shop's namesake and Dave's daily driver — laid out on air, wrapped in the patina it earned over half a century.
Dave came up in the '90s mini-truckin' scene, where bodydropped, bagged and airbrushed trucks taught a generation that a build is a form of self-expression. That DNA runs through everything Sixty8 touches — whether it's a slammed C10, a lifted brawler, or a pastel throwback mini.
These days the shop does it all: restoration, custom fabrication and performance & styling upgrades. Trucks are the specialty, but Dave builds just about anything with an engine — mostly Chevy, cars and trucks, old iron and new. The heart of it has never changed: making the parts that don't exist, and building machines meant to be driven, not trailered.
What Sixty8 stands for
Built by hand
One fabricator, start to finish. No farmed-out work, no shortcuts — accountability on every weld.
Driven, not trailered
A build should live on the road. If it can't cruise coast to coast, it's not done.
No two alike
Your truck, your vision, your color. One color never fit all — and it never will.
