Re: 1968 options ??????
The Chevrolet Red Book for Pickups has all the options listed, production numbers, VIN decoding etc. Covers '47-'72 IIRC. Not a bad book for $12.

Search Amazon for #0879387718, the Chevy Truck Red Book from Sussler. The link won't copy correctly. Amazon had both of these books. The one that Classic Parts carries might be better reading. For each model year, the red book has a few paragraphs of what changed from last year, then production and option info. HTH.

Re: 1968 options ??????
There's another book, "Standard Catalog of Chevrolet Trucks 1918-1995" that also lists the options, production, pricing, etc., that is worth owning, too. I think John Gunnell is the author, and Krause Publications is the publisher.

Re: 1968 options ??????
And, there the Standard Catalog of American Light Duty Trucks.
It covers pickups, panels, vans; all models from 1896-2000; edited by James T. Lenzke & published by Krause. I got it, and the Red Book off of Amazon.com. I don't remember the prices, but they seemed quite reasonable to me. On the occasions that I do shop @ Amazon, I shop by buyer feedback/reliability, or whatever they call it, rather than price alone.

Re: 1968 options ??????
honestly, i found the red book to be not worth it. I had one, and sold it.
The one up there for the standard catalog of... is a good one, but it doesn't show all of them either. The best thing is free stuff from GM... search for restoration catalog.. it's been posted many times. |
