Keep in mind that it's just a name plate option - it didn't include the camper wiring, mirrors, etc. I like the 72 approach, because then you can show off your Trim Level nameplate, like "Cheyenne Super," on the fender and your "CustomCamper" script on the door at the same time!

Re: 1968 CST camper special 50th
Crap.
I bought my '68 C-20 because it was a straight, clean, one-owner truck that would be a good starting point to build what I want. I've been planning on a color change and swapping in an LS engine and 5-speed tranny. Then I find out (here) it's a 50th anniversary edition. What to do, what to do....... |

Re: 1968 CST camper special 50th
Just in case you need a picture. :-)
That white K20 looks pretty good, can't help but wonder if it would be happier living in California?

Re: 1968 CST camper special 50th
Dang Tim, I had almost made my mind up not to go that route! Man that's a good looking rig. Is that a true 50th k20?

Re: 1968 CST camper special 50th
Sorry 'bout that. No I don't know anything about that truck it is in an old misc ref file for 551 trucks though. But here are a couple of pictures to reset you brain with.

Re: 1968 CST camper special 50th
I live just over the Uncompahgre from you. Nice find. My preference is 4x4's. You already have that and now a fine example of a 50 th edition. My vote is for continuing looking for another cab or start rust repair. Can't help you on a 327 but I have leads on proplution items, could ask around for a 327.

Re: 1968 CST camper special 50th
At present I do not. Have patience and keep looking. How much rust do you have in the 4x4?

Re: 1968 CST camper special 50th
Thats a beautiful truck. I hope to find a 50th with great patina like that one day.

Re: 1968 CST camper special 50th
Just ordered the Jegs Goodwrench 350 for the 50th,looks like she's not going 4x4! Now I need all the accessory's and a transmission. Thinking 700r4 or th400.

Re: 1968 CST camper special 50th
So which direction does the lines on the gold material go when I have the seat recovered?

Re: 1968 CST camper special 50th

396, with factory air And it still gets a spring workout hauling wood home on a trailer.

Re: 1968 CST camper special 50th
Does the SPID plate on your 50th call for the insert on the seat or is it not listed at all?
