Re: how would you describe this find?

The bottom should be ivory (off white) for a 551 (50th) paint code truck, which this truck is. Its hard to tell if silver or off white in these photos. I agree nice truck.

I'd describe it as one of the more loaded 68's out there. It seems like the later trucks (70-72) typically had more options on average than a 67-68 so this one is definitely loaded considering the year.
