The most important part of the 50th package will be the 551 (Ivory White/Gold) paint code.

Pickups and Sports Vans will have a gold and parchment interior 625 .

Suburbans and Panels will have fawn interiors.

The pickups, burbs and panels will have chrome bumpers and the side trim option. Not sure about Sports Vans

Pickups two tone paint job will include that Ivory roof and Ivory on the bottom of the truck, as well as the grill .

Burbs and Panels will only have the Ivory on the roof and the grill.

It will at least be a "custom" . It could be a CST. Fine69 has a rare CST 3/4 ton 50th.

Any engine could be had, but most that I have seen have the 327.

I did not have to be a loaded vehicle.

All the information about was deciphered from the 1968 Chevrolet Salesmans Data Book.

You can find some, but not all the pages I used to get this info at the following link.
