1968 Yenko/SC10

[NoNeck]

My aunt Bunny told me about this funny looking truck that our neighbor’s wife had just pulled out of a barn after 47 years! Her husband, Peter, had passed away recently after being run over by a turnip truck on Hwy. 27 in North Georgia. They washed the truck and got it running. She wanted help selling it.

My wife, April, said I would be a fool to buy another truck. I already have three.

I hopped in my truck and headed out to Rabbit Valley with my
chocolate lab, Cottontail. I wasn’t sure if I needed to go East or West, but I finally found the farm near the Cadbury Basket factory. And there it was!

Ilene, the farmer’s widow had only one leg and retired from IHOP in 2014. She said that on February 31, 1968 her husband special ordered the truck new from a dealership in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Options included a 427 L-72 engine with a Muncie M-22 4 speed. He specified Robin's Egg Blue and White paint as used on 1957 Chevys. It has dark blue buddy bucket seats, tilt, power steering and positraction rear. It was delivered on April 1, 1968.

Really nice truck, but I knew if I bought it my wife would break my legs and I would be hippity hopping around for the rest of my life.
