Seeing all those swb trucks in the pics is great. Looks like Texas is a good place for truck hunting.

My brother just got back from there and said he saw an super nice original mustard blazer up there. Have you seen it ?

probably. I know a guy who has one that has been restored to original and the other one hasnt been, but is still real clean.

both are super nice and get driven alot. im probably betting he is referring to one of them. im partial to the orange and white ones, but I dont see any around here.

Theres only five 67-72's in my town. A 68 C-10 8ft step (small window), 69 C-10 SWB Fleet, 72 Chevy C-10 LWB, 69-70 GMC K20, and my truck. If you know the right people and look the right places, theres a lot of these trucks left around. When I was little, there used to be a 68 K-20 plow truck down the road from my house. Sure wish I knew where it went.

You could save me alot of time and effort if you could get some pics, a vin #, and some info on that 68 small window. This debate has been going on a couple of years around here.

Is this a 68 small window?

krue · 07-06-2006, 06:29 AM

Check the vin to see if it's a 67 or 68

JAKES 68GMC · 07-06-2006, 08:33 PM

Well it's got the reflectors on the front fenders, and a small rear window. The truck is a POS anyway, it may be made out of 2 or 3 different trucks for all I know. It's got a 305 V8 with a 3spd? on the floor.

Now that I have a digital I will be on the look out every where I go. I swear i've seen a couple around here, or maybe I AM CRAZY!!!

My money is on you being crazy.

I'll bet a kick in the daddy parts that no one here will ever show an original unmolested truck that's a 68 with a small window, and being a C/30 or smaller...or a K/20 or smaller.
If I had just a little more balls... I'd bet my longhorn title.

It is a small window cab... but other than the window... we can only tell that it is a 67 or 68 by seeing the parking brake lever.

I believe you! But these guys around here need hard proof.

. If you get a chance sometime would you jot down or take a pic of the vin# and maybe a pic of the window and the emergency brake lever.

Don't feel obligated to do so, if not, I will find one eventually.

There was a guy at a local show a few years back with a small window "68". Said it was that way when he pulled it out of the field. I didn't have the heart to tell him that didn't necessarily mean anything.

tcoop68 · 07-09-2006, 12:02 AM

I have been building these old trucks since 1979 and have bought alot of them and have never even heard of a small window 68 just 67s I have one 67right now with a factory air, that is also hard to find on a 67.I like the big window look anyway.I will be watching just in case.But will have to see it to believe it.

Nope, that's the door jamb you are seeing and the holes for the striker plate.
