How to tell a 50th anniversary truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ggtsvnv · 07-24-2009, 05:44 PM

I tried to do a surch but couldn't get it to work so I'll ask and I'm sure someone can help. How can you tell if a 68 gold truck is a 50th anniversary truck? Is it posted on the I.D. sheet on the glove box door? Or is there another way? I have come accross a 68 gold and white 1/2 in nice shape and was wondering if it was one.
Thanks

Thank you Hart Rod that is exactly what I was looking for.

It could also say Ivory/Gold...but look for the 04551AA code to the left of the text.

either 625 or 627 for the int trim too. That would be gold dash pad and sinvisors, white door panels, and a gold and white seat. Brown carpet or rubber mat.

Someone needs to make a faq post for this and put links to all the 50th threads in it (not me, Im too lazy

).

Agreed. Anyone got a picture of the hubcaps that would have been standard?

None that picture is of another board members . I have C.R.S. so I don't remember who it belongs to . Mine came with mid 70's hubcaps ... Here's the way mine looked when I got it ..

Cool. I just picked up a set today. Here's some pics of them stuck on the BB truck...

Bob 68327 · 07-24-2009, 11:40 PM

I would love to have a set just haven't found them yet

I will some day to hang on the wall in case I put it back origional someday .... Not likely that will happen ...

Thanks everyone! It looks like the one I found has good chance of being one. It seems to be very staight and clean. The owner said the seat had been changed (its blue now) years ago, but the truck has been sitten quite awhile. If I can work out a deal I will get photos. So I take it those hubcaps are anniverasry only thing? I know I'v never seen them before and the truck I'm looking at has no hubcaps.

those hubcaps have nothing to do with the 50th annv, and there is no specific hubcap that came with the 50th.
