Re: My finished 68 50TH truck
Very nice job...I love the 50th Anniversary trucks. Did you redo the SPID or is that the original? What type and brand of paint did you use? How many miles on the truck when you started? Where did you get the carpet and dash pad? Do you have pics before you started the refurbishment? How about some more history on the truck.
Thanks for posting. BTW...let me know if you are ever looking for the original 50th seat cloth...SMS in Canby, OR has the material.

Re: My finished 68 50TH truck
Not to be critical, but there is a guy on the board who does excellent (can't tell they aren't original) SPID Sheets. with such a nice resto, maybe you could get him to do yours. Correct Font, and codes and everything.
Just my 2 Cents Nice work on the truck either way

Re: My finished 68 50TH truck
What a dog!!!
Oh, the truck is clean.....congratulations on finishing it. I'm sure the grandsons are smiling, thinking about when they get to drive it, slam it, put some wheels on it, yada, yada, yada... Hope you are as happy as they seem to be. I know, the dog doesn't care one way or the other....geeze it must be nice to have so little to worry about...

Re: My finished 68 50TH truck
Nice! I love the color combo on the 50th anniversary trucks. That is the original color of my 68 GMC. Some day I want to return it back to original.
Isn’t the factory wheel color actually a grayish/silver color?

Re: My finished 68 50TH truck
I'm also curious to know if that is the original SPID Sheet. Mine has the same font. When I first posted my truck here some people doubt that it wasn't the original.

Re: My finished 68 50TH truck
Well done!
It's nice to see someone putting effort into a really nice stock restoration. Get those tailgate letters painted so she can wear her name with PRIDE!
