1968 Chevrolet C20 2wd Longbox Pickup

1968 CHEVROLET, C20, 2wd, LONGBOX, PICKUP
1968 Chevrolet C20, t, long box, pickup with just under 500 miles on a complete frame up restoration to original condition. A unique truck: a Custom Camper with CST trim, the original L66, 396 ci motor, the original TH400 transmission, and the original Dana 60 rear end with 3:54 gear ratios, plus rear coil springs coupled with a front stabilizer bar and power steering and power brakes. Not an A/C truck. The starting point was original sheet metal, original drive train and original interior. Every piece of rubber, plastic, wiring, glass, all drive train and suspension components and interior parts were either replaced or refurbished.
The drive train was rebuilt to factory specs from the u-joints on up. The original, two bolt main, 265 hp, 400 ft-lb of torque 396 ci motor, the transmission and the 10 bolt rear end (not positraction) have been rebuilt to factory specs. The front and rear suspensions and brake systems have been completely rebuilt with all new tie rod ends, shocks, bushings, ball joints, brake components and bearings.
The original cab, doors, fenders, hood, cowl vent panel and frame were media blasted to bare, rust free metal prior to the application of anticorrosion materials and refinish materials. New box sides and tailgate are US made items. The bottom of the cab floor and bed floor have been coated with color matching bed liner material. Primer, surfacer and base/clear materials are PPG products.
The front buddy bucket seats are original to this truck and recovered in the correct teal blue. The Retrosound, OEM look alike radio has UBS and Bluetooth capabilities and was installed in an uncut dash. The interior of the cab and doors were covered with Dynamat sound deadening material before installation of new carpet and trim panels. A complete, new wiring harness was installed. All new seals, weather stripping, door internals, glass and trim were installed.
All exterior trim including bumpers, headlight assemblies, grill, logos, door handles, locks, exterior mirrors, tail lights, body side moldings, glass moldings and tailgate moldings were replaced with largely new, aftermarket parts with some NOS and original parts utilized where available and of good quality. The original spare tire and wheel are mounted underneath the bed.
Original Owners Manual, Protecto Plate and SPID label are included. All receipts are available. Over one hundred before, in process, and after photos are available.
One of the nicest, restored to original condition, C20 pickups available.
