Is my truck a 50th?
 
I meet Red69SS today,and he said my 68 might be a 50th anniversary.Could someone check my vin # and let me know,(vin-ce148b125398).I'll try and get some pics up this weekend. Thanks

Can't tell from the Vin. Need to see the SPID or build sheet.

does the spid say 50th ann.on it? I looked and it had gold and off white paint on spid and white parchment seat I believe, and it was badged custom ,if any of this info helps someone determine if its a 50th.

if the engine is original, it's more than likely a 327. your vin starts with "ce" which signifies an eight cylinder.

You need the right paint codes on your glovebox label. I think it is 551 gold and ivory. You should have the gold visors and dash pad i believe. I am sure there is more if i am wrong that people will add. Eric

too much stuff has it right...look for the 551 paint code on your SPID on the glove box door. It would say IVORY/GOLD if it was built in Fremont and other factories might have called it GOLD/WHITE or OFF WHITE. I have only seen Fremont built Anniversary trucks on the West Coast.

Gold sunvisors and dash pad usually survive.

Re: Is my truck a 50th?
 
I don't believe I have ever seen pics posted in that way(lol).... so was paint code 551? if so congrats.

Re: Is my truck a 50th?
 
greygoose...if it is not a 50th Anniversary truck...somebody went to alot of trouble to make it look like one. 551 on the glove box door is the only way to tell for sure. Judging by the bench seat material and the horn button, I would say it is also a Custom Comfort and Appearance Option.

greygoose 02-05-2009 09:30 PM

Re: Is my truck a 50th?
 
It says 4551AA/off white and gold.The camera that I'm using is cheap...hey red69ss,I do my best when it comes to taking photos...lol I'll try and get the spid tomorrow.

I'd drop it and drive it like it is! :)

Re: Is my truck a 50th?
 
I don't know yet ,other than getting it running and getting all the rust out.And putting a little more power to the wheels.Still have to see if it is the original motor.Anybody got any cheap hp ideas for a 327? (something mild)And I think I may go with the same colors maybe a lighter shade of gold........What would you guys do?????????
