Up for auction is a rare one-owner 1968 GMC 2500 Pickup Truck with 4-wheel-drive and manually locking hubs. It is nearly all-original and was equipped with a large V6 from the factory and a 4-speed manual transmission. I’m not sure what size it is, but I think the engine is a 351. This vehicle was purchased new in New York in either ’67 or ’68 by my father (not sure, but the dealer placards are still riveted to the front fenders!!), and at that time NY did not require titles. After my father passed, it was titled for the first time in my name in the state of MD. The odometer currently shows 32,014. It quit just about the time of his passing and I put about a thousand extra on it. So, it really has about 33,500 miles on it. This vehicle is all-original with few exceptions. The only things I can recall him mentioning are: plywood over the bed – a homemade “bed-liner” if you will, a Draw-tite tow hitch, and more contemporary 235/85/16 Firestone radial tires. This truck was garaged up until about a year and a half ago, but has been sitting outside since then for a lack of space. The battery has died and needs to be replaced. With a jump it will turn over but won’t start because the carburetor is likely gummed up and needs to be cleaned and rebuilt. It last idled about eight months ago and the engine seemed to run pretty well all things considered. However, it does leak a little and most of the gaskets should be changed. The body is in decent condition (relatively speaking for a vehicle over 40 years old), but the rust is beginning to have its way. The passenger side needs a bottom cab corner, and the body needs attention in a few spots to prevent further deterioration. The inside is in quite good condition with no tears in the bench seat or dash. There is some minor mildew on the sun visors, and some rust on the kick plates. Otherwise, the door panels and the instrument panel are in great shape. It even has the original radio. Note: I do not know where the owner’s manual is, and I only have one original GM key. I hate to part with this truck on account of its sentimental value, but I don’t have the time to devote to it and I can’t bear to watch it sit any longer. It truly is a rare find and is waiting for someone who has the time and expertise to restore it to its full glory.
