I saw this... and I got this today....

cheap 68 GMC PICKUP - $500 (FRESNO) CA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://fresno.craigslist.org/pts/2566386354.html

not mine.

What do you think?

**71swb4x4** · 08-26-2011, 08:49 PM

Looks like a deal. If you want to pick it apart it has a 71 or 72 GMC grill and a 67-70 Chevy bumper, but for $500 who cares?

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-26-2011, 08:50 PM

Man that's a heck of a deal! Nice score!

dubds10 · 08-26-2011, 08:55 PM

I've had 3 67/68 GMCs now in the last few months and all have had that bumper without the cutouts, so I'd say it's a stock bumper. Unless for some odd reason I keep on getting old trucks with swapped out front bumpers hahaha

**71swb4x4** · 08-26-2011, 08:56 PM

Does the exterior have fresh paint? The exterior looks dull but the interior shiny. Is the exterior shiny too?
Man, that's a solid truck for $500. Would be worth 5 or 6 times that here.

DJMAN · 08-26-2011, 08:57 PM

Vin number? Is this right for 1968 GMC? Can somebody break it down for me?

Interior is shiny. Outside is 9yrs in the sun.

In my opinion it is definitely not a stock bumper. I think all GMC's had the cutouts. I don't think GMC's really matter, the bumper doesn't block the park lights that bad anyway.

Great deal....especially if you were able to get it titled in your name without too much hassle.

DJMAN · 08-26-2011, 09:10 PM

Went to DMV today and paid for title in my name. Also ins'ed today as well.

He lost the pink slip.

71swb4X4 Thanks for the break down.

**GruntMoanCough** · 08-26-2011, 09:28 PM

Wow! Nice score, even if it is a stupid A/C cab, just kidding, have fun with 'er.

Oh well, back outside to work on my ol' rusty.........

I am thinking the 67 and alot of the 68 gmc trucks didn't have the notch in the bumpers for the park lights.

Great buy on the truck!

dougo · 08-26-2011, 10:16 PM

What I'm wondering is if this was the same Truck posted yesterday (can't be that many in Fresno), that didn't have ANY paperwork?
I'm wondering if the person you bought it from, gave you any explination/story behind what THEY new about its lineage?

Are you going to part it out or resurect it, and if so, hoiw do you plan to handle the "No Paperwork" issue?

I must say, for $500.00 that is a steal, for the condition its in!

yuccales · 08-26-2011, 11:06 PM

Good score!

Yes, you're right, no notches in the GMC's in the begining years, somebody here on the forum also schooled me.

wilbilt · 08-27-2011, 10:24 AM

Nice score! Gonna keep the big block?

Haha! I thought so. My uncle and each purchased 68 gmc's for parts in the last couple of months. Bumpers had no notches. He thought they were changed and I thought original. Guess I win
