Sweet truck J!

"Let me know what you think." I think my 68 should look as nice. It looks like a really nice straight truck. I dig the red and white interior.

First off, Thanks everyone!

I'm sorry man. Too late I took the saw to it last night..... Na just kidding. I'm not going to cut this one down just yet.

Here is a link for the suffix codes

http://www.nastyz28.com/gm-chevy-cod...-suffix-10.php

WO in 1968 is a 307 but in 67 it is a 283 and in 69 a 350. Looks like a 283 or 307 balancer to me. the rear casting numbers are more reliable for cid identification.

I say cut it up !! or technically cut it down

and add a few PB parts...

Thank you! That's what I was wondering. The body shop owner where it was stored was thinking it was a 327, but wasn't sure.

Thanks for the link. I saved it so for future reference!
I miss having one of these trucks as a daily, so I think this one for now is staying just like it is. Just clean it up, fix some stuff that bothers me, and enjoy driving it. Deafintly not buying anymore PB parts until I finish what I've got..... Lol!

Very solid truck, nice find! Does it still have the in-bed spare tire mount? I don't know why but I've always thought those look cool

jwalk · 07-12-2012, 08:32 AM

It just has the bracket that's bolted to the bedside. Everything else is missing.

Can't buy the truck

Its cab and front clip is getting put on a swb frame with a stepside bed. Cab and front clip of the short step was way rotten! I'd do a title for title 67 68 SWB GMC though.
