What were the options for V8s in 1968? I am going to look at a '68 3/4 ton 2wd today from original owner for $1000 .Thanks
Oh BTW if I get it I will post pics this afternoon.

Re: V8 in '68?

Vin starts with "CE", base engine is 307 2bbl. Options are:

327 4bbl
396 4bbl

Both 4bbl are auto (divorced) choke, the 307 2bbl would have a manual choke.

I hope for your sake it's a "CS" with the optional 292.

If it's a GMC, same options, except you can get a CM vin which is standard 306 V6, optional 351 V6.

I believe it was either a 327 or a 396.
