The man behind the metal

Dave
Johnston

Owner, operator and the hands on every build. Sixty8 Industries is a fabrication shop grown out of a lifelong obsession with trucks, and a guy that refused to be ordinary.

Where it all started · The '90s

The Yellow S10

Before the turbo LS. Before the frame-off K20s. Before Sixty8 was a name on a shop wall, there was a yellow S10. This is the truck that started everything.

Dave built it coming up in the '90s mini-truckin' scene, bagged, body-dropped and dragging frame at every show. It's where he learned to weld, fab and finish by doing it: figuring out what worked, cutting up what didn't, and chasing that perfect laid-out-on-the-ground stance.

Every clean weld and bagged chassis that rolls out of the shop today traces back to this little yellow truck and a kid who couldn't leave anything stock.

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.

Let's build something worth driving.
