1968 GMC 1500 series truck. Short wide bed. Straight 6 cylinder, 250 engine with three on the tree transmission. Runs and drives great.
This is a fun little truck. It does have its issues, just like all of them do, but they are nothing that keep it from being a cool little driver. It starts, runs, steers and stops as it should. It does ride a little rough, it has been lowered and GMC trucks are leaf sprung, they don't ride as well as Chevy C10 trucks do with the coil spring set up in the rear. The little 250 just putts down the road with no problems. It will never win any speed contests but the whole time you are driving it, you have a big grin on your face. The transmission shifts smoothly, no slop or binding on the linkage. It is unmolested under the hood. The factory air cleaner is intact with all hoses still attatched. Points type distributor fires right up and does not miss a beat.
The interior is all there, of course one of the previous owners hacked a hole in the dash for a cd player but there is a cover panel over it. The seat is just that, a seat. it will need recovering and a little padding replaced. Seatbelts are intact. Windows roll up and down, wipers, turn signals, headlights,, even the horn, they all work. It does need a windshiled. There is a small rust through on the drivers floorboard near the door opening. Nothing major.
Overall, the body is in good shape. It has had a bedside replaced at one time. The tailgate is intact, opens and shuts as it should. Bed floor is in real nice condition. There is a nasty looking dent behind the drivers door. It does not affect the door opening and closing but would really look better if it were fixed. The cab supports are good, the area above windshield is good, the doors are a lot better than most of these old trucks.
We went for the shop truck look with the red painted wheels. The tires are driver condition, I would want new ones if I were going to be driving this truck all the time and for any long trips. Please do not classify this truck as a Rat Rod,, it has the right grille, seats floorboards and dash. It is just a cool old hot rod style truck.
Is it a show truck? No. Is it loaded with luxury options and power accessories? No. Is it a cool old truck you can afford and drive while you fix or change the things you want? EXACTLY... Manual steering, manual drums, hand crank windows,, this is a real truck. You can buy this, throw your shop logo on it and have a neat little parts chaser.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
