Longhorn Man · 02-20-2006, 08:06 PM

20k back in 68? Can anyone confirm that? If not, I'm going to have to say BOGUS. odd looking truck, maybe slightly cool, I would want more than a little 350 too, that or less, I'd rather have a 292 than a small block in something like that.

Doing what...selling?

Huskerboy2 · 02-20-2006, 08:13 PM

If that truck was $20k back in '68, it must have had one very, very expensive rig of some type on the backend of it. Something a lot more expensive than a flatbed.

Longhorn Man · 02-20-2006, 08:44 PM

That's original.

Converted after production, but sold through the GM dealers, like the moden convertables... sold as if GM did it.

da-burb · 02-20-2006, 08:54 PM

I kinda like it. Convert it over to a big 4x4 rig and you are set to go anywhere with the whole famn damily.

68gmcdually · 02-20-2006, 10:18 PM

Now that is cool. But bear in mind this is coming from a kid whose dad built him a '68 extend a cab and whose dad built a '78 Ford Econoline extend a cab and a '52 IHC snub nose crew cab so I have a warped sense of reality.

JAKES 68GMC · 02-20-2006, 10:44 PM

T10 four-speed in a two ton truck???? That doesn't sound right at all, unless its a different T10 than what I'm thinking of (musclecar one).

BobS · 02-21-2006, 12:06 PM

I'd bet it's a SM-465, the guy just thinks that all 4-speeds are T-10s.

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-21-2006, 07:01 PM

AND

**special-K** · 02-22-2006, 08:49 AM

GREAT SCOTT!!!That`s what it is,a great big Scott conversion.I`m surprised it didn`t have a Clark 5spd/Eaton 2spd.

roger0080 · 02-22-2006, 11:46 PM

Hope it goes to a good home. That has to be pretty rare to have a decent shape truck with that cab on it. That's got to be unique now days.

da-burb hit the nail on the head. 4x4 conversion would be pretty cool on there.

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 02-23-2006, 12:15 AM

Cool truck! And that ain't no 350 in there. If it is, it has a 283/327 intake on it. You can see the oil fill tube by the radiator hose sticking out the top.

**Canadian694x4** · 02-23-2006, 01:04 AM

Pretty Sweet Base For A Classic Car Hauler IMO!!!

Yeah that,or a camper/hauler.Slap a diesel in that thing and put some asphalt under it.

1969 C/K CST · 02-23-2006, 09:39 AM

Nascar infield rig?

cstanley · 02-23-2006, 10:25 AM

that one's awesome! if i only had the jack for it. it'd make one sweet hauler, kind of a chevy 1st edition version of the cxt, or whatever.

roger0080 · 02-23-2006, 08:40 PM

1968 Dealer Data Book says the engines available where a 292, 327, and a 366. The 350 was not available in 1968.

From the pictures of the truck engine and the book engine, I venture to say it is a 327.

rogf4 · 09-23-2006, 03:40 AM

If you read the ad posted on ebay you will see it says 350 crate engine.
It does not say original engine.

**special-K** · 09-23-2006, 07:17 AM

SHOOWEE,THANKS!!!
I`ve been haunted by this for the last 7 months.
