1968-69 c20 Chev with 327 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

VanceH · 06-01-2009, 11:38 AM

Ok i found a 1968-69 chev with a 327 and 4 speed. The guy wants 400.00 bucks. The tranny looks different that my 67 c10 4 speed?? Any input on the tranny?? Rust in the usuall places 8 lug wheels rear springs, and looks like someone added an extra tank. The grill looks just like my 67 so i think its a 68?? Any way wondering if its worth it, i might pick it up for my son or maybe a donor rig.

thanks
Vance

It should be a `68.That was the last year for 327.The trans may have been swapped in one of the trucks.67 & 68 would have the same from factory.It`s worth $400 if it runs.That`s a great motor.It should be a large journal with steel crank.

Ok i just couldnt pass it up!! i need some help to identify some things. I believe i have an eaton rear end, but the tranny is not the same as my 67 c10. Seems higher geared. I am going to have to remove the altenator to see the motor numbers but i think its a 327. Here some pics.

here is the tag in the jokey box

VanceH · 06-03-2009, 09:42 AM

here is the tranny from my 67

VanceH · 06-03-2009, 09:48 AM

here is the motor, the distributator looks different, and i am concerned with the 2 barrel? What i can find says the 327 comes standard with a 4 barrel.

Nice`68 Custom/20.It`s true,there were two options on 4spds.It`s had a few changes along the way,but is still pretty original.

VanceH · 06-03-2009, 10:28 AM

Shes a donor, going to be tearing it down and using the pieces that i need for my 67.

VanceH · 06-03-2009, 10:55 AM

16B503714 K01 14 CMJ

Hi Vance, we e-mailed a little through CL, like you said thats not a DANA rear end. She looks fairly rust free, with the HEI and alt bracket I'm betting 305 or 350. Looks like she has some good inner fenders! Gotta love that uncut dash!

VanceH · 06-03-2009, 11:11 AM

i found this number on the back of the motor

9970010
????

VanceH · 06-03-2009, 11:13 AM

Hey blue!! how are you, ya loving the original radio!! Not sure if it works, man i just hate tearing one of these things apart!! Oh well for the greater love of a 67

UltraBlue71 · 06-03-2009, 11:18 AM

Yeah, Vance I gotta get mine working too, It lights up but the speaker is shot, not like you can hear them if they do work

Not with duals that stop right infront of the rear axle!
That sure is a clean looking old rig, is it fairly straight? What are you gonna have to steal off it?
