This is a rare 1968 Chevrolet Longhorn 3/4 ton 2WD pickup truck. This truck originally came with a 327 but now has a 350 with approximately 20,000 miles on it. It runs excellent and the original 400 Turbo-hydramatic trans works smoothly.I do have an original 1968 truck 327 that I will sell if interested.

This truck came equip with factory power brakes ( I do have the original PB and will include them in this auction) but they have been replaced with manual brakes. Brakes work great. 

In 1968,the Longhorn model debuted on 3/4 ton trucks.These have a 133" wheelbase.... identical to the one ton vehicles, and an extra 6" was added to the bed. Longhorns, were 2wd only; no factory Longhorn 4x4 were built. These trucks are extra heavy duty with leaf spring/coil rear-ends. Because these were designed to carry larger loads than other pickups, it’s been engineered for extra support and better balance all along its 133 inch wheelbase. Its rear suspension, for instance, is built around tough two stage leaf springs for steadier going and surer handling.’ (Coil spring front suspension teams with the rear leaf springs.)You can haul an 11 foot camper and with the bumper that slides out another 3', you can pull your boat and have easy access to your spare tire if you get a flat as the bumper opens up as well.

All sheet metal is in very SOLID condition with NO rust in the usual places and very minor surface rust here and there. This was painted years ago and was NOT painted over rust or bondo.

The bed of the truck has the original wood bed that appears to be in good condition... custom diamond plating was installed over the original bed floor. The chrome was removed to begin a restoration but unfortunately, has since been lost. All glass is good and everything opens and closes like it should. This truck came with 3 factory fuel tanks, bucket seats, and A/C. Seats were replaced with a bench seat (I have original 1968 bucket seats that came out of a 1-ton truck that I will sell if interested...needs reupholstered) and A/C was removed. I'm not sure about the gearing but it is high geared and will go 70 MPH easy on the freeway.Tires have approximately 70% tread left. Will make a road trip...no problem.

 

This a very nice daily driver or an EXCELLENT SOLID truck to restore.

 

Please don't bid unless you have more than 10 positive feedback or bid will be removed.

I wanted to include that I do have most of the original A/C parts but not all... I will include these parts with the truck to the winning bidder.

To clarify some of the questions about this truck.... This is a 1968 Chevrolet Custom Camper Longhorn 2wd 3/4 Ton Pickup that originally came with a 327, bucket seats, A/C, power brakes, & 3 fuel tanks. I do have a factory 1968 truck 327 (NOT the original)...needs rebuilt that I will sell...I have buckets seats for this truck...they need upholstered...I will sell. Lastly, I have the original factory power brakes that will be included with the truck to the winning bidder. This is a beautiful solid truck that has been taken care of and is in excellent condition for this type truck. The collector will appreciate this one.

Motor Trend reveals 2016 Chevy Camaro as Car of the Year

Tue, Nov 17 2015

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro beat some very steep competition to earn the Golden Calipers as Motor Trend's Car of the Year. The magazine praised the sixth generation's fantastic engines, great handling, and lighter platform. "Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," editor-in-chief Edward Loh said, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer." The Camaro conquered some high-performance challengers to take the victory, including the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mercedes AMG GT S. It also bested technologically cutting-edge vehicles like the BMW 7 Series and Toyota Mirai. The latest Honda Civic rounded out the competition. To earn the prestigious award, nine judges evaluated the finalists in six categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The Volkswagen Golf won last year. In an engaging story on Motor Trend's website, it explains what a revelation the new coupe is and that they consider the model the best production pony car ever. The piece is well worth a read. Motor Trend also handed out the Person of the Year honor to Subaru of America President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Doll. It praised him for the Japanese brand's massive success in the US like tripling deliveries since 2007. "By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success," editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie said. "And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen."

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models

Fri, Mar 28 2014

General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
