Nope this truck was removed from eBay. I went to email him and tell him it was a long box conversion and it said item was no longer available. Had a ce10934 model number

[too much stuff]

Still available but the WB number can't be read...

From the description...
ORIGINAL SHORTBED FRAME, NOTHING CUT OR MODIFIED

[Kennuck]

The wheel base on the spid has been blanked out in the pic. In the pic of the truck before restore you can see it is a long box truck.

Nice truck but looks like the seller is being dishonest?

Maybe, but it says in the description "original shortbed FRAME" not original shortbed TRUCK. It's possible he swapped an uncut shortbed frame under the truck.

His phone number is listed in the ad. Instead of guessing and wondering, why not call and ask him?

I can see where it could be interpreted this way. Further down in the description though he claims it is a "Factory Original Shortbed Fleetside" If the frame has been swapped is it still factory original?

Don't get me wrong it's a very nice truck but it should be represented for what it is.

I didn't see that part. Guess thats what hapoens when you don't read the whole description.

Doesn't the model # CE10934 mean it is an 1968 1/2 ton 8' fleetside?

[68350]

Yes model number is long box. Short box would be 10734

[67swb72klb]

gone !

This listing (Chevrolet-C-10-ANNIVERSARY-GOLD-CUSTOM-1968-chevrolet-c-10-anniversary-gold-edition-shortbed) has been removed, or this item is not available.

[67ChevyRedneck]

I guess the ad is back up again? Y'all are right... the wheelbase is blurred out on the SPID and a "before" shot CLEARLY shows a longbed truck

He left the model number, which is CE10934 which breaks down to a 2wd, v8, 1/2 ton, 127" wheelbase longbed fleetside.

[68SWB4x4]

That entire truck screams cut corners and polished turd.

You want someone to pay nearly 30 grand for a 50th (Let's just say it was a original SWB) yet it just has the cheapest goodwrench 350 you can get it dropped in it without any attention to detail it like a stock or at least nice looking motor?

[Kennuck]

I asked the seller the question through Ebay. I asked about the wheelbase on the SPID and the picture of the truck before restoration, here is his response.
"Truck was a long bed and placed on a shortbed frame.. That the photo of the truck when we originally started on it..."
I see he did not post the response on Ebay however.

[Andy4639]

This is why I have always stated cutting a truck frame to make it a short bed is wrong. No I understand people want short beds but to be honest how many people are honest about it when it comes to selling the vehicle. Not to mention the paper work want match numbers for payload want add up all kinds of nightmares when and if you want to sell it.

this is now on the ad...

On Dec-22-14 at 06:02:41 PST, seller added the following information:
TRUCK CAME AS A LONGBED BUT WAS PLACED ON AN ORIGINAL 1968 SHORTBED FRAME WITH AN ORIGINAL SHORTBED BOX... TRUCK IS TRULY AWESOME!

[dubds10]

Doesn't get any more shady than that listed. "Original Shortbed Factory", "Nothing cut or modified" whatelse does he say lol I'm glad these recent ebay posts have come up incase potential newbie buyers come on here they get to see the bad stuff before buying a marked up thrown together truck.

Good for him for finally stepping up. Probably got sick of his ad being flagged
