Do me a favor and open the glovebox and see if that truck has a 551 paint code

sorry, there was nothing on the glove box door, i have a good title for it though, the vin number is ge1485124717 if you need something or pics let me know, im not sure what im going to do with it yet.

68 Suburban · 08-03-2002, 04:30 PM

From the looks of the original paint on the truck it sure looks like the remains of a 50th Anniversary truck

lost wages · 08-03-2002, 06:35 PM

well it was a long fleet, some one spray bombed it black, is there any other way to tell if it was a 50th ?

68 Suburban · 08-03-2002, 06:45 PM

That sure looks like two tone Anniversary gold paint scheme. Is the interior paint and steering column the same color gold?

lost wages · 08-03-2002, 11:03 PM

the steering wheel and column are gold as is the rest of the interior, would the vin number tell what it is? is there any desire for these parts?

68 Suburban · 08-04-2002, 12:08 AM

The vin won't tell you anything about it being a 50th. If the interior still have good parts, it might be worth a little to someone, but I think the complete package is where the value would be. Too bad the glove box sticker is gone

If you are parting the truck and the trim is in good shape, I may be interested in it.

Thanks

**fine69** · 08-04-2002, 01:13 AM

How is the cab? Rust wise? Send me pics of the floors and rockers if you can. Thanks

SWINGSAX68 · 08-04-2002, 01:38 AM

You lucky SOB!!!
I wish I could get something like that for free....How is the hood????man I would love to find even a hood for free.....Mine needs work...would rather get a straighter one.

**68SWB4x4** · 08-04-2002, 01:46 AM

he shoots........... he scores!
nice find!

stllookn · 08-04-2002, 03:16 AM

NO STINKING WAY!!!!!!!!!!! I think you better go buy some lottery tickets because you are one lucky guy and don't let this the streak end here! What does the glove box say? You're blessed dude!

lost wages · 08-04-2002, 04:17 AM

SWINGSAX68 if you want a hood i have one you can have, no way to ship it though, im not sure if i will use it or sell it, its got normal missouri rust but its better than the one ive been working on. the bed was almost perfect, but th3e guy i got it from torched the frame and is making a trailer out of it! i hate that, use a junk bed for that, i know someone would willingly swap him and a few dollars for the bed, it was nice. i told him not to buy any 68s any more, its the second one hes cut up. hers another veiw.

mooneyes · 08-04-2002, 10:57 PM

you better go play the lottery right now!!! its your lucky day

6869704X4 · 08-05-2002, 04:31 PM

I dont think you mentioned how much you paid for it.
Nice catch.

ckhd · 08-05-2002, 07:21 PM

'68,

That is DEFINATELY a 50th. Look in the first picture. Not only is the top the original white, but if you look real close at the bottom where the white goes, you'll see that along the back edge of the cab, the rattle-bomb didn't cover all the original white.

Same goes for the front of the clip. Look where the bumper had it covered and the black didn't get to it -- white.

Too bad another 50th in pieces...

68 Suburban · 08-05-2002, 08:17 PM

ckhd, you have a better eye that I do.

I see it now!

nroden · 08-06-2002, 01:41 AM

How many of the 50ths were made any what percentage of that year were the 50th edition? I am beginning to think that they aren't so rare.

68 Suburban · 08-06-2002, 01:56 AM

There are no records.

lost wages · 08-06-2002, 10:53 AM

any one need parts off the cab? i didnt realize it was a 50th, if someone needs the coulumn or wheel, etc let me know. i try to get a pic of whats left of it.
