1968 Chevrolet Pickup Sees First Daylight In 24 Years

1968 Chevrolet pickup stored in 1985 finally sees daylight 24 years later for a week in 2009 before returning to its garage. It's 307 powered with a Turbo 350 automatic [Shift Kit]. Posi 12-bolt 4:11 rearend. It's a stock small block other than the 650 QJ Carb/Dual plane intake. Was never meant to go fast, just operate problem free. I was 18 years old in 1983 when I created it's look with little money hence the now dated look.

Stored in 1985 due to a sudden physical disability. My Father brought the truck out of the garage in May of '09, washed it, vacuumed the interior, and there it sits older but not too much worse off.

Will sell the truck within a year. It's a complete truck. Originally a stepside. A 1967 fleetside box was available so I replaced the stepside in 1983 when building the truck. Hurricane 7 x 15 / 10 x 15 wheels. Would make a great frame-off project.

How much will you be selling it for? Where are you located? Really nice truck!!!!!

[CR250R40]

Thanks for the compliment. Not sure what to ask for it. I'm not sure what this year is worth.

I feel the best thing for this truck is to disassemble it and bring it up to date. The motor, rearend and brakes have sat too long to be roadworthy. Would make a great project for the person who's into rebuilding.

The truck is located in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada... some 100 miles north of the American/Canadian border / Ovoville, Washington.

@DieselCountry88 I thought that too but it was prob still in the tape player when he pulled it out, I can imagine cruising this in the early 80's listening to this lol

Once again man, the truck s story makes your truck very interesting and more valuable. I can t tell you how exciting is to see that video. I wish I had a similar story but I got my 68 in July 2009. If you want to see its pictures I ll show you what I ve done so far. Ain t much, but we ll do.

[MrSchanoq]

Maaaannn. I don t know what to tell you. In my personal opinion man. I agree with frosty9595, eightbanger and teamracing14. I have a 68 I made it shortbed. It s still project. Honestly CR250R40, I don t recommend you sell that treasure. That s not only a 1968 Chevy C10. It s 1968 Chevrolet Pickup Sees First Daylight In 24 Years. Bring it to Tijuana, Mexico labor is MUCH cheaper and excellent quality job than in your country and the U.S. If $ what makes you think twice. C´mon man keep it & fixit

[frosty9595]

Those old trucks last forever. I would just redo the brakes and change alll of the fluids (I mean EVERYTHING) and maby and rubber that had rotted on the engine and a tuneup without a doubt.

[Eightbanger]

Very cool looking Truck mate, I love those wheels...I'm sorry that you have been unable to enjoy it the way you should have, and in a way I wish you were able to just carry on keeping it yourself rather than letting it go, you've kept it safe for this long.

I may look into adding that little padded panel around the radio myself, I quite like that idea, I like the interior it has an nice olskool vibe to it.

Best wishes to ya mate, and good luck for whatever you decide to do.
