Finally got a truck
 

I finally got a truck. Been on here for awhile just looking, was looking for a '63 -'66 truck but no luck. Came across this 1968 LWB C20, It has a 350/350 in it with a cam and headers. It came with the original manual booklet and coupon book. Its alittle loud for me but maybe someone can help with that. Wanted to know if i can take the headers off and put reg. or flowmasters on, and will that quiet it down still having the cam? Well heres some pics.:chevy:

Nice! You realize that is a pretty rare truck there, correct????

Re: Finally got a truck
 

WOW, great looking truck, looks like it is loaded. Buddys, AC, tach dash, steering, brakes, cruise, etc. Would like to see a close up of the SPID.

Re: Finally got a truck
 

yup, is a (rare) 50th anniversary Chevy truck. I love the 68's trucks in special these 50th.

X2..:metal:

Re: Finally got a truck
 

Nice buy. does tha exhaust have a whole in it.

Re: Finally got a truck
 

awesome truck! If you're taking it back to stock I'd put original manifolds and some decent mufflers. If you're going to hotrod it I'd leave the headers and get quieter mufflers than it has now if it has any now.

what's on the dash? Tach and clock?

Re: Finally got a truck
 

A very nice find! Congratulations...Looks like a Vacuum gauge on top of the dash.

Re: Finally got a truck
 

looks like some sort of 'good gas' guage/vacumn guage

Re: Finally got a truck
 

Damn what a nice and rare 68! AC top of the line CST and as mentioned a 50th anniversary! I wish either of my 68s were 50th but oh well, and it looks like it is in good shape. I don't know about you, the speakers under the dash would have to go, and the stock stereo would be gone!

As for the exhaust, I would just leave the headers on and to quite it down, try running some Magna Flows on it. Will be quieter then Blowmasters *Flow Masters* and actually out flow them. The only downside to headers is they are notorious for gasket leaks because the bolts come loose!

Cheers,
Charlie

Thanks everyone, was looking for a c10 but that's ok. Just wanted a nice truck and I think I found it. Yes it is a vacuum gauge. I don't see a clock in there, and will be removing those speekers. Not sure if the radio is stock but on the SPID it says push button radio. As for the exhaust I think I'm going to put stock manifolds and quieter mufflers and run the pipes all the way back. Right now they stop right behind the rear of the cab.

Congratulations, we were watching that truck already http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=449072 great score !!! :metal:

Re: Finally got a truck
 

your dash is uncut, so you can put in the correct radio if you choose. Here is a pic of the your uncut dash.

Re: Finally got a truck
 

Is that an original radio, because mine is the same as the one in the pic?

Re: Finally got a truck
 

Nice truck Andyboy. Looks like we are both wearing the "new" truck smile today

Re: Finally got a truck
 

That is not the original radio. And I am pretty sure that is a picture of YOUR truck. I think Brian either looked at the truck or got better pictures from the seller.

Re: Finally got a truck
 

Correct, I actually did both and I feel you got a great truck. I had to pass on it, cause what I really want is a 71.

Re: Finally got a truck
 

I hear you on the 60-66 chevy trucks. I got those trucks in my blood..To bad I don't have one anymore...But slowly I am falling in love with my 67 chevy lwb..Nice start to nice truck..Have fun with it.
