No?
It's a re-clipped '69 with A/C and less-than-superb bodywork. Doesn't seem all that rare to me.

Why in the h--l would they put 88-98 style molding on that truck. That kills it for me. The pass. side bed looks to have a wave or two in it also.

Greasemonkey, I don't disagree with you about the rarity of the truck. all I could tell by those pictures that was wrong with the body work was the paint by the windshield pic and the clip alignment. I'll be the first to admit I don't have the best eye, but I'm curious what else did you see?

RJ100 · 12-30-2007, 07:41 PM

In picture of bottom inside of door did they paint over dirt or rust?

bob1967 · 12-30-2007, 07:49 PM

I thought the same thing, looks like rust

89 crew · 12-30-2007, 07:56 PM

I thought paint but it might be a glare.

cstm68 · 12-30-2007, 08:07 PM

by the look of the body work on the upper body line right before the rear sidemarker it looks like it was cut down from a long bed

streetstar · 12-30-2007, 08:11 PM

If it was a rare truck - they likely would have left it alone and not put the '68 clip on

Looks like a pretty nice ride though-- not sure about a 12,500 BIN -- maybe 8, but what do i know.

The seller is serious though , he says "Serious bidders only ! This not a game!"

"This not a game" --- i love it, another in the long line of ebay ad screw ups

If CSTM is right about it being a cut down long bed - that might change a lot on the price

**fine69** · 12-30-2007, 08:25 PM

What about the firewall? See where its painted black. Lip is screwed up right there. And no seal at the cowl to cab. What else is fubar?

AuggieStyle · 12-30-2007, 08:25 PM

looks like it took a hard hit on the left front at one time stance looks off at first i thought it was bad camber on the left but it looks like it is over to the left a bit. i dont mind the newer moldings so much because if i did then i would be a hypocritic cause it has newer style ralleys as well. nice truck i have seen worse go for more.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice truck and someone will be very happy with it. I just saw the big waves in the bedsides, painted over rust on the doorbottoms, etc.; and a really nice shiny paintjob that would have looked great if someone had spent a few more hours blocking it out and doing a bit more prep work. It does have A/C and an uncut dash, so I am sure that makes it worth a lot to someone. The inside of the bed looks really nice too.
All in all, a decent truck but not necessarily rare.

72armyswbtruck · 12-30-2007, 09:11 PM

still no matter how you look at it, a claen truck for a decent price, can't build it for that

**special-K** · 12-31-2007, 01:15 AM

Whatever has been said or noticed...the answer to the question asked is,"NO!It`s not a rare truck." When we say "rare" we mean "factory-built".When we build our own trucks how we want,unlike anyone else`s,then it`s known as "one off".But,if that`s one-off then it`s one of a zillion one-offs.

68C15 · 12-31-2007, 01:29 AM

yes, it is a rare truck. in early 69 GM decided to offer 8 trucks with a 68 front clip, carpeted plywood bed floor insert, and R134A refrigerant. LOL

**special-K** · 12-31-2007, 04:43 AM

Oh yeah...But,wasn`t the original carpet shag?And the seats were bean bags?I know they had an 8-track and lava lamp on the dash.It was the "Groovy Trucker" package.

ChevLoRay · 12-31-2007, 05:08 AM

Nice to look at, from a distance. Since it is being offered for sale in Florida, I'm okay with that distance. No doubt someone is proud of their work, but we are, I believe, a discerning bunch who will have no qualms about dissing the work that someone does if it doesn't measure up to our high standards. Plywood insert in the bed? Why? 88-98 side mouldings? I don't even want them on my C/K. So the dash hasn't been cut...big whoop. Mine hasn't either. Does that make mine rare?

There were 55K+ SWB trucks built in '69. I hazard to guess that there are way less than that now, but not enough less to call one "rare".

**special-K** · 12-31-2007, 06:38 AM

How many thousand trucks with uncut dashes have been junked just because everything else was shot?

1969k10stepside · 12-31-2007, 06:43 AM

Titled as a 69,it has a 68 clip,and 72 door panels..Not to mention the rest of it.I think it would look a little better with the newer molding removed,it really doesnt belong.The bed looks like it has been shortened,and not done right..It's a (Think like Johnny Cash) 67,68,69,70,71,72......
