Saved another from certain demise :)
Hey guys, just thought you'd guys like to know about this current truck i just bought from my local scrapyard..
It's a 1968 Chevy c-20 6 cyl, 4 speed basic farm truck.. bought it for 250 bucks.  It still has the radio delete plate in it, but it's missing the steering column and brake and clutch pedal.

Re: Saved another from certain demise :)
Good save! It looks pretty original. I've never seen one with steering wheel and clutch/brake pedal delete before.

Re: Saved another from certain demise :)
Wow, hard to believe a scrapyard would sell it for 250.00 It's worth more as scrap. (to them, certainly NOT us!)
 Great save! Your doing your part to help save the oldies. The Chevy Gods will look favorably upon you.

Re: Saved another from certain demise :)
I love it!
Had a '68 50th Anniversary back in '84 and wish I had never let it go. The look of the '67-'68's are my favorite and I might just convert my '69 C10 to a '68 package soon! Good save.
