Chevrolet C/K Pickup 1500 1968 Description
Up for sale is a 1968 factory 4x4, SWB Chevrolet pickup.While this is not a complete restoration, it's as close as you can get and is a great looking and mechanically sound daily driver.
The picture of the SPID shows that the SPID is faded but there's enough to confirm that this truck is an original short bed K10 with a 307 and was a 3 speed on the column. The VIN on the SPID matches the VIN on the B pillar.
There were only 1,449 of the short bed, 4x4's built in 1968.
The truck was originally painted saddle and off white. I chose to redo it in the anniversary edition color scheme of Anniversary Gold and Ermine White.
It currently has a later model 350 and a T350 automatic. Mileage unknown on the motor although she's healthy and runs great.
I converted the existing column to be a column shift automatic and added the PRNDLE indicator.
Power Steering and Power Brakes have been added.
Disc brakes on the front.
Following is a list of what I have replaced on the truck:
Metal cab mounts and all new cab rubbers
New front leaf springs and bushings.
New rear spring bushings.
Shocks
Steering damper
Complete exhaust system
Fresh paint, inside and out
Seat cover
Carpet
Visors
Late model Kenwood with all the latest bluetooth, Pandora, iHeart, USB etc
Mirrors
Lenses and sidemarkers
Alternator
Dash pad
Seat belts
All new door and window rubbers
Door handles inside and out along with window cranks and sill plates
All new badges and exterior trim to make the truck period correct
New front calibers and rear wheel cylinders
I think the rims are of a later year. They are 6 lug and will accept beauty rings and center caps if that's your preference. I happen to like the look with them painted the same Ermine white as the other parts of the truck.
The tires are old but have a lot of tread and are the correct height for this year.
I have not spent a lot of time detailing the engine compartment. She could use some attention there. I've been looking for a 1968 307 to put back in it, but have not found one that's cost effective and I need to sell this project and move onto something else. There's also a small transmission fluid leak and 2 wheel studs to replace.
Again, this truck is not perfect but a classy looking pickup that's a great daily driver in a very desirable body style.
Because Georgia does not issue titles for vehicles this old, the truck will be sold with a GA Bill of Sale and a copy of my current GA registration.
I do NOT need help selling this vehicle.
I will only accept cash and will only show the truck in a public place.
The truck currently lives in Jasper, GA.
I have this truck listed locally and reserve the right to end auction if it sells.
