My wife and all my buddies keep telling me to get ride of the old shell on the truck. what you all think? it is the one he baught when he 1st got the truck. so kinda a sentamental thing. keep or no your thoughts?

Nice old 68. If that paint is original gold/white it's a 50th ann. Edition truck. Is it a Custom Camper too?

Gold paint code on the glove box door Number 551? if memory serves. You should also have gold/parchment vinyl on the seats. It should be a Custom or CST too.

well I guess. my grandfather's brother died and left the truck to my granfather and he gave it to me cause I always LOVED it! The shell has been their as long as I can remeber and that woudl probally be around 15+ yrs. considering I cannot say when he got the shell. but for a sake I think I will call my grandfather and find out.

C&C ( Custome Camper ) on the door it had the " CUSTOME " like on the blazer that says CST. I could not find anyting out paint on the iinfo in the glove box. but it is in great condition so I will take a pic @ lunch so you guys can analyze it. Very clean and easy to read. The seat is outline is white and where your but sits is a glodish color. I think you may be able to see it in the inside pictures I linked to .

lol.. I am not going to get ride of the shell but I want to take it off. But I cannot for the DMV in CA is a POS and wants to charge me $204 dollars a yrs for registration !!!!!!! those a$$e$! So I had to register it as a Passanger vechile. and because it is now register a passanger vechile I have "BY LAW" have to have the shell on. If I take the shell off it make the truck a Commerical vechile. and I woudl be running it illegally. difference in price you ask.. passanger $50 commerical $200 ( I cannot afford 200 right now)

SO a word to those thinking of moving to CA. DON'T

Thanks for posting the image for me BUD you rock

Richard
