1968 Chevy Custom. An original survivor and very straight with little rust. 283 with the Powerglide. Good glass all around. The bed is solid. The cattle rack has all four panels. This was a good day.

That is a clean one.
Nice! Even the original hub caps! I
have a 63 that was my great aunts and I
hope to redo it one of these days. It
is no were as good of shape as yours.
The Indiana winter was hard on it. The
good thing is there's a lot of parts
out there. I have engine brackets for a
v8,power steering kit and lots of new
hardware just no time with work,5 kids
and the farm.

I remember welding in a lot of rocker panels in those back in the day. You could get them from GM for $ 15 apiece and an hour a side to cut out/weld in and all solid again. '67-72 were good ones.

I used to have a '69 K-20 with a 292, 4 on the floor with a granny that would climb a tree, a Dana 60 front and Dana 70 rear. Never should have sold that truck. Never should have sold it. Good for you.

A 69 chevy C10 custom was Dad's farm truck from the late 1970's till about 1990. 350 engine (we did one junkyard motor transplant when original started knocking). TH350 three speed automatic. (also did one junkyard tranny transplant).
The 69 had lots of miles on it when dad bought it used. No power steering, No power brakes, No Air conditioning. Itwas not really all that much fun to drive but it served its purpose okay. I loved the looks of it though although I was not a fan of the coil spring rear suspension system.
I sold it off in 1990 and replaced it with a well used 1979 C10. Power steering, power brakes, tilt steering wheel, air conditioning. Truck was whole lot more enjoyable to drive and a whole lot more truck than the 69 in every way but not a looker.

Nice looking original PU.
Are you sure your new truck has a 283 or might it be a 307 cid engine? I remember my friend buying a new '67 Chev PU & it had a 307 engine.

It is an uncobbled, unwrecked, unmolested original. My plan is to wash it, clean the interior, get it running good and drive it around on nice days. It will stay in original condition like my tractors.
V-8 choices in '68 were 307, 327, or 396.
Do the side marker lights actually have light sockets in them? I have a '68 that has the side markers that federal safety standards required for '68 models. Since it was built in Nov of '67 before the standards took effect on Jan 1, '68, it doesn't have a wiring harness, socket, bulb, or even the hole in the back of the housing to insert anything.
