FS 68 4x4 Short Step - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**breeh** · 02-09-2004, 12:31 AM

In the continueing process of change of priorities for me, I am offering up my 68. I have replaced it with a '04 Duramax CrewCab. Definitely not as cool but I can get the whole family into it. I also bought an Alpenlite truck camper for it so we will be spending a bunch of time camping! Anyway, here are the specs on the 68:

Original 68 Short Step 4x4

Not original:
'72 3/4 ton axles, Dana 60 rear and Dana 44 with discs front; just replaced the rotors with new; 4:10 gears

427 Big Block Chevy; 049 heads with upgraded 2:19 intake valves; hypereutectic pistons; about 9:1 static compression; Holley; Performer RPM intake. This motor has about 10k on it now and is just getting broken in.

Bowtie Overdrives Level 3 HP 700R4 transmission

I have run this trans for over a year with zero problems. It is a great transmission.

NP205 transfer case, freshly resealed

4" Skyjacker Softride Lift with Nitro shocks, Stainless Braided brake hoses, 33" BFG All Terrains

AGR variable ratio power steering

Interior has newly recovered factory 68 bucket seat setup; Van tilt; full guages with factory tach.; CD player with Boston Acoustics in the doors

Box has a spray in liner; factory slide rear window

Anymore questions, please ask! In the interest of a fast sale, I will let this go for $8,750.00. If no interest here then it will be going to E-Bay.

This is an awesome truck...I have seen it and it is worth much more than he is asking...I just hate to see it go!!!!

I understand the family thing. My wife threatened to leave me after the last acquisition...I am going to miss the old girl...wife that is...not the truck!

Thanks for the endorsement Mike! I am going to miss that truck too!

i really need to have a discusion with you about the 700r4 conversion as our trucks are the same application

That is one sweet truck. I would buy it in a heartbeat if I didn't have my project and had more space.

breeh,
Sorry to "hijack" your thread. But.
Tell me how you like that AGR variable ratio power steering?
Is it a good upgrade? Why?
Thanks a bunch!

Oh. Guys. I had the opportunity to see this truck last year at the Monroe swap meet. It is a beautiful thing!!
Well worth what he is asking. And more.
