Wondering if 68 I just picked up for parts is anniversery model? Vin starts out CS148Z . Has the gold color paint underneath. Was repainted white. 6cyl stick. Glovebox is missing. Bought it for front clip. Lucked out rust free Az cab frame longbed and front clip. Any info appreciated

Thanks........Rick ps pic's this weekend

what does the seat look like? What about the steering wheel and dash pad and visors?
The VIN won't tell you anything like that.

Might check to see if the build sheet is in the seat...that will tell you. If the lower section of the fenders and doors are white and the upper portion is gold then it could well be an Anniversary truck. Check my avatar.

Check all that out.Gold/White paint was in the color line-up for all models.Here`s a non-50th`68:

Seats are long gone and cab is full of cholla cactus, Added bonus truck tilt / with correct steering wheel. Thanks for the info, I'll post any new developments.Rick

Special K, That is a great looking 50th color scheme...even if it is not a true 50th...someone did a great job on that one. Thanks for the pic...it is motivation for me.

Hey Rick,I believe that tilt is probably not original to that truck.They were introduced in`69 and were black.This was when they changed the steering wheels,too.Is your wheel a 3-spoke/round horn button?

Longhorn Man · 10-16-2005, 10:43 AM

special k...while it isn't documented.. the tilt did in fact start in 68. Most likely it was for late 68 build dates, but I have seen a few option sheets and build sheets on 68's that included it.

Not the original steering column. This is black automatic column. Originally a 3speed. Later 69-72 wheel also. Thanks for info......Rick
