Small Window '68 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here is a small window '68 but, as you can see, only by slight of hand due to it being built by and aftermarket company as a motorhome (since converted to a flatbed). Nice clean truck too...not mine!

More fodder for the grist mill! Only in CA...'67 small window cab but relicensed as a '68 since it was a motorhome under construction.

Must have been a goofup at the DMV when it was new. Maybe someone didn't realize that you don't go by the completion date of upfitting. I work for a body builder that builds bodies on "new leftover" older models all the time. The date we put on the completion certification has nothing to do with what year it will title as. What the VIN says, is what it is. To "bump it up" would be unethical & illegal today.

Guys, remember this ad stated that it was a camper truck.Probably had a cutout in the rear of the cab.Whoever converted it to a flatbed probably had access to a cheap 67 parts cab.They just used the readily available rear to enclose the cab.
