Well,
2 Days, 1200 miles and what to show,,,1st I brought home my next toy, 68 C10, 4 options no radio, Im trying to figure out what 6 it has, I would think a 292 would be a special option, I looked on the engine and the code was PF,that would leave me think its a 250. The PO thought he had a 292......2cnd, Scored a whole front A arms and spindles for the disk change and a rear axle, now just have to see if the gears are the same.

Got to love these options, HD Rear Springs, HD Clutch, Red Trim, Painted Rear Bumper, not much easier than this..... Orginal Bill of sale from 68, truck was $2206 even has the warranty book,,,sweet

Kewl, sweet looking truck... Whew hew, let the fun begin....

68haywagon · 03-20-2005, 10:08 PM

Correct me of I'm wrong but don't the 250's have 4" tall side plates and the 292's had something like 6" tall side plates...thats one way to tell the engine size.

Hope this helps and if I'm wrong I hope someone corrects me.

Nice truck by the way good luck with it.

Nice little truck.Sounds like god deal to me.

The fuel pump is behind the motormount on a 292,and in front of it on a 250.That's teh easiest way to tell

71meangreenc10 · 03-20-2005, 10:32 PM

I like it, the wife isnt too happy though, I still have to finish the 71, oh well you only live once, and Im still going to find me a 69-70.....I told her the truck will be for our son (6 wks old) and she got off my back.... I have heard about the side plates but nothing no one for certain....I hope your correct 68haywagon....

LOOKS LIKE A 230/250 TO ME

krue · 03-20-2005, 11:55 PM

Good looking truck, but it looks like a 250 to me too.

avejoe · 03-20-2005, 11:57 PM

Ah yes, Options TS and RR. Not really options as they are standard equipment now.

shifty · 03-21-2005, 12:10 AM

Maybe this thread will help:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=144402

I just got basically the exact same truck for around $4k and had the exact same questions. There are a lot of clues in that thread.

Tx Firefighter · 03-21-2005, 01:31 AM

Everyone is correct, as to the size of the side plate and the fuel pump location to identify a 292.

Also, a 292 has a large coolant bypass hose that goes to the water pump, right by the upper radiator hose. It looks kind of like a second upper radiator hose. 230/250 don't have the bypass hose.

71meangreenc10 · 03-21-2005, 07:19 AM

Thanks for all the info, the pump is in front of the mount,
