Saw a 68' panel in the local paper today, has a s/b, 3-speed, 73K. I'm gonna look but wanted to know if anyone has prod # on it. Thanks guys!!! Weasel

I dunno the actual production numbers, but ANY 67-72 panel is rare and worth buying if it is in good shape. Panels are just plain cool....if the price is right buy it

One of these days i want to somehow lay my hands on a '67 panel, paint it hugger orange, slam it, slap on some 17" wheels, and put a mean 383 under the hood.........

My book shows 4801 C10, 59 K10, 1572 C20, 68 K20 for 1968.

lukecp · 09-16-2003, 06:23 PM

Not quite as rare as i thought, but still not common. I haven't even seen a 67-72 Panel before besides pics here on the board. A K10 would be a helluva find, along with a K20.....wonder how many still exist today?

bpmcgee · 09-16-2003, 06:25 PM

Yellow,

In my book, only 4801 produced is pretty damned rare!

*dtlilly* · 09-16-2003, 06:32 PM

Isn't C-10 all 1/2 ton 2WD trucks? That means the 1/2 ton panel is a small fraction of the total C-10 production. Would a 7% estimate be in line for panel production? That translates to 336 produced in 1968.

lukecp · 09-16-2003, 06:33 PM

Still rare i agree, but i was thinking it was around 1000 or so produced per year.......How many '68's were produced total?

weasel29gm · 09-16-2003, 10:54 PM

I went to school with the guy that has got it, he always has a alot of old stuff. Gonna check it out Wed. John thanks for the #'s.I think its a C-10 so 4801 is a low prod#. I'll post what I find.

4801
59
1572
+ 68
____

6500

So there were only 6500 trucks total produced in '68, or 6500 panels?

krazy_texan · 09-17-2003, 12:36 AM

panels are the coolest and i would trade my truck in a heartbeat for one, well maybe not my truck but i would try to get to the best of my ability.

Oh, my bad. I assumed the stats were for all production. So that means they made 3/4 ton 4X4 panels!! WOW, if never seen one

1969 GMC · 09-17-2003, 12:52 AM

Yeah, I would like to see one of the 4x4 panels, period. *Drools* a '68 50th 3/4 4x4 4 speed with a/c....
Look how rare 4x4 Subs are, and look at how disproportionate few 4x4 panels were made in comparison to 2x4. I bet most of those 4x4 panels were beat to death working. It'd be interesting to see one, of any year.

dinnut · 09-17-2003, 06:44 PM

someone could photoshop one

weasel29gm · 09-17-2003, 09:39 PM

I went to look and its kinda rough for me, both qtrs, doors, fenders etc. $950 will get it. But what else I saw was worth it. He's got some of the best rides I've seen. Outside 57 Chevy Nomad, 57 truck, 52 Ford truck silver with purple flames. Inside 69 Z-28 w/ a 427, 59 Elcamio w/a 409, 63 Chev truck w/a red metalflakepaint job, 2 big block Vettes and more parts etc. I 'm gettin 2 tires like the ones I got for $80. Anybody interested in the panel PM me and I'll help.

toms68cst · 09-17-2003, 10:39 PM

GMC Paul's has the only factory 68 (Or any year for that matter) 4X4 panel that I've seen on this board.

dinnut · 09-17-2003, 11:18 PM

dinnut · 09-17-2003, 11:20 PM

*dtlilly* · 09-18-2003, 12:39 AM
