My '68 is headed to Mecum Kansas city
Will it's time for a change, I built this truck over 10 years ago and I'm going to let it go. Its scheduled to run across the auction block Friday December 2 at Mecum Kansas City. Wish me luck! It will be tough to see it go, but it's time for a new home.

 Sad day, that is one beautiful ride. Good luck with the sale though I am sure someone will be very happy with their new ride

Re: My '68 is headed to Mecum Kansas city
Your '68 C/30 has been a steady fixture here on the sight, as well as in your corale. You know what you are doing. Good luck with the sale. I also say it is one of the best trucks on this site and wish I could buy.

Re: My '68 is headed to Mecum Kansas city
Good Luck Joe, that truck inspired me to buy the 70 C30 that we are playing with right now. I'm sure mine will never look as good as that Gem.

I've always liked that truck. Good luck with the auction. I was wondering, what year cab did you use on that build?
