1968 - Aniv. paint codes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What are the paint codes for the 50th Aniv. 1968 truck? I think I may have found one for sale, it is two tone gold and white. Any other identifying features? Are these necessarily worth any more money?

Mostly the 551 paint code and the 2-tone parchment interior gold and white. Look at the link in my sig. I have a picture of one showing outside and interior.

Are they worth any more money? It does not seem like the general public really know what they are. Most Chevy truck enthusiast don't know what they are either, so the value does not seem to be there yet. I have a rust free C-20 50th Anniversary Edition CST that I have been trying to sell for 2 months now and it does not seem like anyone is interested. Maybe someday they will be known for what they are.
