That's always been my favorite paint on 67-68. All these trucks are so nice.

Re: Anybody have factory 1968 396 truck engine that will share some casting numbers?
Wish I could help you on the engine. I believe mine received a 325hp 396 transplant after an accident. I do believe mine was an original 396/400 truck though. The 400 is original to the truck.

Do you know if yours might have been a 2 barrel engine??? I've never seen the low compression engine on a glove box decal list....

There is a L66 designation for a 396 CID 2-bbl V8, though so there may have been that option available on the '68 model year. |

I am not sure what those casting numbers mean on the block. Too bad you didnt have some casting numbers for the cylinder head. Maybe whenever you next take off a valve cover you can take a look. Thanks for posting! |

Hey I got to thinking more about this. As I stated earlier. Some of the websites list casting number 3935401 as for BBC 68-76 427T. But I dont think any 427 engines were built in 1976 at all. So I dont think those websites are correct. |

Re: Anybody have factory 1968 396 truck engine that will share some casting numbers?
We found this one at a wrecking yard that was getting crushed out. I talked my buddy into saving it but he just needs it gone. Such a shame becasue its such a badass truck that is rusted beyond salvation. But it's never been messed with other than someone taking the tach cluster out the night before we got it out of there.
If anyone is interested before he tears it apart he just wants his 2k back out of it. Its near portland, or

Tall deck 427 engines were made in 1976.

Everyone in my life said NO OCHRE, 30 Years. Until I met the guy who painted it and his wife. He shot it w clear. Now those left of us had a change of opinion. I've seen it on a Harley or two, very clean.

This rig has lots of potential with the options it has and given the asking price, it's a deal. In fact, if it were around my area it would have already found a new home. Last edited by Dave; 10-19-2024 at 08:15 AM. |
