1968 Chevy truck question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sduckworth13 · 08-10-2013, 05:46 PM

Just talked to a guy after I seen his truck sitting in the parking lot. It looked like a 1969-1970. He told me it was a 1968, but it was made late in 1968. It had the 69-70 grill, hood, fenders. He said it is original. He said the title says 1968 Chevy truck on it. This is a new one on me. Has anyone ever come across one of these? Just curious to know if it is a true 1968. I don't have any pictures.

see what the 5th number of the vin is..7=67, 8=68, 9=69, etc

Most likely it is a 69 made in late 68 and incorrectly titled as a 68 based upon a first sold date. Happened a lot. Inversely there are a lot of 69 Camaros titled as 70s due to the production run extending into December of 69. Fisher Body's quarter panel tooling issue delayed the new 70 to a 70 1/2.
VIN number will tell you everything.

Great info. I'll talk to him again. He needs the bedside wheel arches replaced, so I will be replacing those for him. Thanks guys
