I'd put my money on that being a 50th. There is a certain paint code 550? Gold/white on the glove box sicker.

I see you are from Minot. There is a much nicer 68 50th for sale on the strip in Mandan ND. I don't know what they want for it. It looks to be similarly equipped with less rust. I can get a number if you want.

Welcome to the board. Good to see another ND'er here.

I have a question , are all the original 50th truck's long bed's ? like the 67 custom camper's are all C20 long bed's how bout the 50th one's , a short bed one in the gold and white would look cool !!

jonnybravo · 03-04-2008, 01:36 AM

i looked at previous threads before i wrote this one and i think someone had one but not sure

50th paint code is 551.
A 50th could be had in a short bed too.

jonnybravo · 03-04-2008, 02:41 AM

if it was a shortbed i'd already own it.

heavy71chevy · 03-04-2008, 03:05 AM

wasnt the 50th aniversy trucks usally equiped with the parchment or ivory interior?

**68350** · 03-04-2008, 03:43 AM

should have gold sunvisors, dash pad, gold/white seat(buckets or bench), at least a custom package or cst. 551 gold paint and i can't think of the interior code. looks to be correct color, but doesn't mean it's a 50th. if you can, take a picture of the interior and the option sheet on the glovebox.

oh yeah, if the one in mandan is the one i'm thinking of, it's spendy, something like 3000.

jonnybravo · 03-04-2008, 04:52 AM

it has gold visors and dash pad the bench seat had a cover and the door was locked i'l try to get a look this week

Sounds like a 50th to me !! Does the inside look like mine??

50th didn't need custom nor CST.
%0th could be had on any truck in 68... to include vans and Elcys too.
