I was given a 68 GMC 1500 2wd Long box from a women whose father had passed. It has a 292 3pd on tree and no other options except the 50th color sceme of gold with a white top.56k original miles.The truck is straight no rust but the wood bed is dry rotted real bad.Does anyone have a pick up like this one

Wow, given? Why can't I get that lucky....Congrats, that is a pretty nice windfall...

Thanks ! The lady was moving and i just asked her if she was going to take it with her? it had not moved in about 10 years. She said i could have it if i promised not to 'Hot Rod" it.

Congrats on the truck! Is that a hudson in your avitar pic?

54blackhornet · 07-22-2008, 04:04 PM

Thanks again! Yes that is a Hudson, I have a few 67-72's and I am also a Hudson Hornet owner. 54 Twin H with overdrive.

You Lucky B@stard

Longhorn Man · 07-22-2008, 07:58 PM

Do you have any photos of the GMC? How about the SPID or int trim pieces?
I have yet to see any documentation of 50ths being in the GMC camp, only trucks that look like 50ths. I would LOVE to see it ESP if it actually has the 50th codes.

Would love to see pics even if it doesn't!

Longhorn Man · 07-23-2008, 06:16 AM

kalle, I can't remember what it is exactly on the burbs like yours.... that's why I never asked for it from you.
For trucks however, 551 off white/gold and 627Parch vinal trim

**special-K** · 07-23-2008, 07:15 AM

Killer deal!!I would have asked her for ten bucks to sweeten the deal...Hey,what the heck?
There were plenty of trucks with gold & white paint jobs that weren`t 50th anniversary trucks.People just refer to those colors on `68s as anniversary paint.GMC had their 50th anniversary years earlier since Chevy trucks are just immitation GMCs.

LOL! I've only known of one 50th burb, and he is no longer around here. I have tried to locate his threads saying what the options were for his 50th burb, but i have come up empty handed.

Plus he was a tool

OP get some pics!

I had a 50th 'Burb, but I parted it out. Someone convinced me it was a 50th, who knows? I have all the paperwork from it, here is the build sheet and the spid:

Notice the special order 17.5" wheels-the PO wanted all his trucks to have the same size.
