A 50th has 551 paint code on the SPID as well. If present, this removes all doubt.

My 50th Custom Camper.

68Gold/white · 11-30-2015, 08:52 PM

cstguy, very nice!
Does yours still have the original interior. SPID says parchment/cloth?
Got any more pic.'s? especially interior?...seat

drewbert41 · 12-01-2015, 12:57 AM

Mine was painted blue and then someone tried to repaint it to look like a 50th again. Missing most of exterior trim, custom emblems, and glove box emblem. Only remaining 50th original interior parts are the gold dash pad and white visors. Under the cowl it is the same color gold as the rest on here.

I got my 50th Custom Camper a couple months ago. It has the original seat under two other covers... Here's a link with a few more pics.

1968 longhorn anniversary edition ... part of the family of glamour truck years we have between my dad, son and me. 1968 longhorn, 1969 camper c20, 1969 c10 swb, 1971 Cheyenne, 1971 custom and 1972 c10 lwb

northerngmc · 12-01-2015, 03:11 PM

I have a 50th that I bought about 5 years ago from a fellow list member.

C20, 396, Turbo 400, Factory Air, power steering, hydro boost brakes. Real nice driving truck. I believe it to be a survivor with just over 90,000 miles and original paint. It is a Custom Camper.

Here is photo when I bought it.

And I lowered it this last fall and dropped the hub caps. A little less 'farm'....

The gold flooring was cracked when I bought it and I was told that they do not reproduce the rubber floor in gold. The previous owner had bought a carpet kit for me and gave it to me when I bought the truck on the condition that I would install it! So I did.

Your truck is a real beauty, but I like the "pre-lowered" stance better. sorry

Thanks and no problem, not everyone is liking the new stance, especially my wife. It is just a set of springs and they can be swapped back in.

HOLY SMOKES!!!! Wow a 3/4 ton 4x4 50th that nice for under $10k? Seems like a steal.

Security guy · 12-05-2015, 04:20 PM

Yea, I thought it was a decent deal also. I tried to ask some questions about it, and he wasn't that interested in selling it. He wouldn't give me the keys to even look inside. He must of been having a bad day or something, because the guy was a jerk lol

68 CRACKERBOX · 12-29-2015, 10:01 PM

I can now join the club, just got a 68 c/20 camper special 50th anniversary, has the right paint code.

maybe he was embarrassed because someone took a picture before he could remove the 8-350 engine callout from below the rear side marker lamp... (ha. very nice truck, but that weird location makes me wonder if it's truly a custom camper, cst, etc - or even a 50th. But, it is a 68 k20, and it's very nice).

She's a little rough around the edges....lol

Overall not to bad for a truck that spent its entire life in Indiana. 2nd Owner, 112,000 miles, org drivetrain, 307 w th400 with edelbrock top end (org intake, carb, exhaust manifolds and valve covers included). Also Indiana inspection tags, protecto plate, manual, etc......And the org caps (take offs)

Floor and lower outer is crispy, but upper cab, firewall, windshield frame is all V solid!

Needs some tlc to the brakes and a little clean up and shell be a driver till my 67 is done at which point it will be restored...(Knew there was a reason I was hording all this NOS stuff....lol)

And a few pics for your viewing pleasure..

northerngmc · 06-09-2023, 10:39 PM

I added a personalized plate to my truck.

Don’t think I have to explain it here.

**68bowtie** · 06-10-2023, 02:06 PM

It looks like saddle/off-white to me. I could be wrong.
