Found an all original 68 Custom - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Gene · 01-12-2011, 05:08 PM

My brother in law is looking for a part truck to run around in, and I found him this one for 500, unmolested, pretty straight other than the grill and with rust in the usual spots. It's all there, original 327 2brl. with a 3 on the tree shift. Whadda ya think? Should he keep searching and pay up to 5k for a "nice" truck, or should he shell out 500 and get this old girl back on the road?

Not really up on 67-68's, what was the top of the line truck for these years? Was this it?

67swb72klb · 01-12-2011, 06:06 PM

the top ones were called a C S T

**special-K** · 01-12-2011, 06:09 PM

Jump on that!

YBNORML · 01-12-2011, 06:18 PM

I'd buy it for sure. You guys are lucky. Up here a truck like that would $1500-$2000.

HE found a good deal cause i was down there in okc last spring and i couldnt believe what some of those people wanted for the beat up /kinda rusty ones

Gene · 01-12-2011, 07:00 PM

This one has kickpanel rust, 2 cab supports are gone, rockers, but still isnt as bad as my 71 was. Not many options other than the overloads, it has a dang straight tailgate that I might have to swap mine for!

I kinda thought that was the case, but I havent seen very many with all the chrome this one has, window chrome, vent window chrome, rear cab chrome and custom badges on the door.

67swb72klb · 01-12-2011, 07:22 PM

Yep, original paint and everything else. I'm not real sure about the hubcaps though?

Vintage Windmills · 01-12-2011, 07:47 PM

That looks like a good deal. 250 six cylinder?

Yep, I was one of them! I guess I should have picked a different title though, it's not all original because the mirrors and hubcaps are incorrect.
