Vehicle Detail
** This truck has a low reserve set ** This truck runs really strong with the later model Vortec 350 engine. This truck was purchased by a friend a couple years ago for a complete restoration. Well, he ended up not being able to swing it and needing money because of having two little kids and changing jobs, and I ended up with a truck I don’t really need or know much about. The truck is a 1968 Chevy short-bed, 4x4. It is not a cut-down long-bed like many guys are doing these days. It is an original short-bed which are getting very hard to find. I am not positive, but believe it may have originally been a 2wd that was converted to 4wd somewhere along the line, according to the VIN number, (I think the "C" would be a "K"? Not sure 46 years ago?) but regardless it is a very solid, cool looking and great running pickup. For its age, it’s actually in pretty good shape. It has: - A later model Vortec 350 engine converted to an Edelbrock intake and holly carb (with the info I was given, it has just over 15k miles on rebuild). It fires up instantly and runs good and strong!- Turbo 350 transmission - 208 transfer case. - 1/2 ton running gear with what we believe to be 4:56 gears. - Electric fuel pump. - Disk front brakes. - Power steering. - Newer “Optima” gel battery. - New battery cables. - Newer “Warn” lock-in hubs. - Receiver hitch. - Newer heater core. - Newer radiator. - Nice alloy wheels with 33/12.5/15 Mickey Thompson tires. - Rancho off-road shocks all the way around - Solid flange headers and 2.5" dual Flowmaster exhaust - Has a complete Painless wiring harness and fuse block. - New Phantom Autometer gauges and a new billet dash insert. - Tilt column. - Steering wheel out of 88-94 Chevy truck. - New carpet. - New door seals. - New door sill plates - Power windows. - New LED tail lights and LED license plate bolt lights. - 60/40 bench seat out of a late 80's Chevy truck. (In good shape, it’s just red underneath the cover) - Blazer fuel tank conversion in rear of truck between frame rails (fill spout thru bed floor). This truck is what I call a “15-20' paint job”. It looks great 15-20 feet away, but up close it has flaws. Not super bad, but it does have dings, chips, flaking, etc.. Please see the attached pictures. The body has a good appearance from a short distance, but if you were to restore it, it would need a little love. The body and cab floor are solid and in good shape with what appears to be no rust, but it does have the normal areas of slight decay for these trucks in the rockers, left cab corner, etc. Some have been worked, some haven't (left cab corner and rockers need done eventually, but are fine for now. I have a brand new left cab corner I will send with the truck). Whoever patched the old gas filler neck in the cab did a terrible job because some bondo is heaving, but again it’s a pretty solid old truck that has a ton of potential, or just drive it the way it is and get thumbs up all day! One nice thing about these old trucks is you can’t really lose money if you take care of them and maintain them somewhat. They will always increase in value. Good luck and let us know if you have any questions! A signed, clear title and Bill of Sale will be sent certified mail after final payment is received.
