Original 68 Short Fleet For Sale - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**1971Stepside** · 03-10-2005, 06:11 PM

1968 Chevrolet C-10 Shortbed. This truck has original 62,000 miles m/l on it. All original (except wheels and tires). I have all the inspection stickers that show some years the truck was only driven 300 miles for that year. AM radio works, seat is perfect. The bed floor does not have a ding in it. 250 six with powerglide. Not many other options. Pretty basic little truck, but very clean.

Bad news is there is some rust in the floor supports and the PO had a bed side re-painted as he clipped a pole with it. Mudder and Lost Wages will vouch for this trucks condition.

Please only serious responses. I have put a new radiator in it and new tires. $5,000 firm. Hate to see it molested, but I have decided to sell her.

Jason915 · 03-10-2005, 06:20 PM

That is sooo sweet can you hold it until I can afford it? Just kidding, 5K is cheap for such a nice original truck like that. Good luck with selling it even though you'll hate yourself for it later.

LOL, I'm already wishing I wouldn't have posted it. It's something I don't have to sell, but if the right person comes along....

teeitup · 03-10-2005, 06:24 PM

You got any pics of inside? Does it have PS? I have a friend looking for one. Thanks Randy

**1971Stepside** · 03-10-2005, 06:45 PM

I do somewhere. No PS or brakes.

70c10 · 03-10-2005, 06:49 PM

That is a nice truck and worth the money but 5 grand will get you a nice motor for your other nice truck!

**Tim Christian** · 03-10-2005, 09:56 PM

I am interested in the truck. Do you have more pictures you can E-mail me at stchristian@chartertn.net Thanks Tim

**1971Stepside** · 03-10-2005, 10:14 PM

Tim, I do....but......I bought this new digital camera and it takes 2 meg pics!! I have to get them shrunk down enough to be able to e-mail them. I'll try to get you some more pics very soon.

1969 GMC · 03-10-2005, 10:15 PM

**1971Stepside** · 03-10-2005, 10:18 PM

HuggerCST · 03-11-2005, 10:28 AM

Man, I have to say that is one very nice 68. Priced right, with my colors too. I'm very tempted. If it was closer, I don't think I could resist buying it, but good luck selling. I don't think you will have any trouble.

gregsplace · 03-11-2005, 07:39 PM

I'll trade you my '98?

weasel29gm · 03-12-2005, 02:46 AM

One of the cleanest trucks on the board, good luck!!!!

**lolife99** · 03-12-2005, 04:16 PM

TTT for ya! I bought my blazer last June and my '03 last December. Now I'm crying cause I'm out of money. Keep me in mind if you still have it this summer.

**1971Stepside** · 03-12-2005, 07:24 PM

Thanks lolife99.....I would trade for that Blazer!!

**lolife99** · 03-12-2005, 08:10 PM

Pm'd you. I need to get it before "lost wages" does!

**1971Stepside** · 03-14-2005, 09:25 AM

One more time....going once, going twice,

HuggerCST · 03-14-2005, 01:48 PM

Y're killen' me here, lol. I can't beleive it hasn't sold. It's not often that you see them that clean and unmolested. Don't you need a nice '71???

**lolife99** · 03-14-2005, 08:39 PM

I can't buy this truck! Someone needs to steal this thing. Take this truck to Goodguys with air ride and some 20's and it's an easy $10k truck. I mean NOTHING else. Drop it,... throw on some nice wheels and take it on the power tour. I cant believe Ken hasn't snatched this up! N2TRUX,... where are you?

QKENUF4U · 03-14-2005, 10:13 PM

i would take it in a heart beat if my 96 Z71 sold and he would deliver it.

Larry Farris · 03-14-2005, 11:54 PM

How about some pics - Engine / Interior / Pas Side.
Would you want to trade for a 72 K5 2wd?

**1971Stepside** · 03-15-2005, 09:52 PM

Larry, I don't think you would want to trade even and I don't want to spend more money at the current time. That is a sweet Blazer and I would love to have a 2wd Blazer.

I'll post some more pics after the weather clears up and I can get it out of the shop to snap a couple shots.

Green Machine · 03-15-2005, 10:49 PM

I would love to have that, depends an how much work it needs, need a few more pictures. especially the usual bad spots. 10 hour drive from here. Wife thinks I'm nuts, buying that would just confirm it.

chevykevy · 03-15-2005, 11:46 PM

I like the truck. Could you post some more pics of the rust on the cab supports, the engine compartment and interior? Thanks
