FS 68 GMC BB One Ton Dually - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**breeh** · 02-09-2004, 12:52 AM

This truck was originally a camper. I bought it with great hopes of using it as a camper but the camper turned out to be completely rotten and I removed it. The nice thing is that the cab was sheltered its entire life and is one of the nicest ones that I have ever seen. The interior is almost perfect and the doors close so well it is unbelievable. The cab is uncut as well as the doors. Additionally, it is a factory 350 HP 396 and I would be willing to bet it has a 4 bolt main and a steel crank. The trans is a TH400. It has power steering and all of the bracketry is still there. I drove this truck about 200 miles when I brought it home and it gave me no problems. There is a leaky brake cylinder. I bled the brakes before I brought it home and they worked fine but after sitting for a few months the master cylinder drained itself.

This truck would make a great 1 ton for a car hauler or flatbed. It would also be a great donor for a Big Block changeover especially if you need an excellent cab too!

I will take $2,000.00 or best offer on this truck. Check out the pics here:

Brent, Now I see why you missed the swap meet today. I remember when I stripped my '68 C30 down to the flatbed...what a project! Nice ride...big block too! I really think you need that for a car hauler! How many miles on it?

i see the BC license plate on it. Do you live in BC or did you take that one over the border?

It came from BC but is titled in the US now (WASHINGTON).

That is a carbide lamp on the front for caving

Is that a 133" wheel base truck? I wonder what it would look like with a 9 foot step side bed on it?
