The 50th was a special edition from GM, it came with a special paint scheme, and special interior color, here's one that is close in paint (color is not correct tough)
I know I'm forgeting something.

To be a 50th, look for option code 551 Off white/Gold, and option 672 Parch. Vinyl trim.
The int on that truck in the link is not correct, this picture is though. It was avalible in both bench and tripple buckets, the latter seems more common. The picture here is one of the tripple buckets in a 68 50th Longhorn 3/4 ton. There is a black pillow sitting on there that mesess up the whole picture, but you get the idea of the proper colors for the inside of the cab. (photo credits go to Racedvl) |

The paint code will be 551 Anniversary Gold/White and the interior code will be 625 off white or parchment on the trucks They came with all drive trains and all were either customs or cst's 1/2 ton 3/4 ton and 1 ton Long beds short beds and longhorns All were fleetsides (I think) 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive were also available. There were also suburbans and vans with the paint scheme
