Re: 1968 "Early Model"

This is gonna turn out to be another frankenstein truck. 67 cab with pop rivet 68 vin tag... side markers in the front but not the rear.... etc...

Post the VIN number when you get it. Check the build date thread to see how early it is.

The only '68 early/late difference I have seen being in the locksmith trade is that some of the early 68's did not have an accessory position on the ignition switch and they used the small head Qctagon keys like the '67's. That changed sometime in early '68. My Silver '68 CST/Custom Camper was that way.

Re: 1968 "Early Model"

My 68 has a 67 key, but a non-folding bench. The folding bench was definitely an early year thing.

Where I live that is a $2000 truck all day long. You could clean it up and get it running and sell it for more if you liked.

So that is what those trucks are! Always wondered, thanks for clearing that up.

Don’t forget the ‘68 small back window cab that only a few trucks escaped with in ‘68… seen that one advertised a few times too.
