1968 50th BB/ac/ps/pb SWB
I really don't have the time or space to finish this with 3 other projects going on. I had planned on making a good daily driver/shop truck out of it and, but I purchased another running 68 that I am going use as my daily driver. So I figured I'd see what everyone thinks it worth. This is an original New Mexico 1968 50th Anniversary LWB big block, a/c, ps, pb truck. It was running and driving when the motor was pulled out and sold. I swapped the truck over to a completely rebuilt and painted 68 SWB chassis with the following work completed:
Chassis sand blasted and painted semi-gloss 2/4 CPP dropped springs New front and rear shocks 5 lug disc front end with new rotors, pads, brake lines, ball joints, tie rod ends 1 1/16th front sway bars with new poly bushings 5 lug rear with 3.08 posi and 12” drums New poly bushings in trailing arm ECE adjustable track bar Shock relocators New drive line (needs shortened for SWB) Power steering Power booster and master cylinder 8 inch ralleys front and rear brake lines New polyurethane cab mounts I pulled the engine from a 71 Camper special. It was a complete setup with all the hard to find big block parts including the following: 71 402/TH400 (needs rebuilt) Exhaust manifolds 4 core radiator TH400 tranny linkage and crossmember All ac, power steering and alternator brackets BB fan shroud with correct flex fan All 3 pulleys Perfect passenger heat shield, heat tube and exhaust heat shield Motor mounts and stands Flowmaster 40 series exhaust with H pipe The body is virtually rust free. There are a few pin holes in the rockers (replacements will be included) and the passenger side front fender cup needs to be replaced. The bed needs some body work but is a rust free wood floor bed (wood needs replaced). Tailgate is pretty nice on the outside but has dents on the inside. Glovebox in excellent condition. All glass is in great shape with a slider in the rear. All a/c components are present (inner and outer). I have a panel to repair the radio also. I have more parts than I can list. Here is a link to a thread I started when I was putting this concept together: http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=343684 This would be very easy to make into an authentic 50th BB SWB. I really don’t want to sell it, but I have neither the time nor the space to finish it correctly. Soooooo, WIW? EDIT: I'll add the other parts that I have that go with it here as I think of them. Correct Gold steering steering wheel with nice horn button Front chrome bumper (drivers shape) Rear chrome sport bumper (drivers shape - no brackets) All e-brake hardware a/c condensor HEI and original points distributor straight steel headlight bezels

Oh no... I hate to see you consider selling this truck.
