I am starting to think 1968 C10 trucks optioned with the 396 were very rare? Maybe less than 50-75 produced from the factory?

There was a thread here, been a couple of years ago, or so. A member posted, asking questions about big block pickups, as this one. He was a little impatient because only a couple of posts were made on his thread. He surmised that there were nearly as many big block pickups made as there were small blocks. I didn't post on his thread. A couple of members posted that big block pickups were fairly uncommon, he didn't believe them....LOL Of course big block pickups ARE pretty unusual!!! Way back in 1980 when I was just out of high school, I was looking for an old pickup, nothing special...(OF COURSE, it had to be a Chevrolet!!!). A friend told me about this 68. I went and looked at it. I about fell over when I opened the hood. 396, PS, PB, AC. I couldn't get the money to the owner fast enough, even though its overall condition was nothing to brag about. It's in my garage, awaiting its renewal, somewhat disassembled (engine and engine out). Folks told me I needed to scrap that pile of junk. I would just say to them, mind your own beeswax, it's mine, leave me alone!!! HH, I hope you can get yours going asap. Im taking too long... |
