Totally a different look from when you got it... I like it. I had a 68 Bucket truck one, I put a regular long bed on it & had a 8” gap so I made it into a duality longhorn. I sure miss that rig. Yours is looking great

68 is coming along nicely

Look what followed me home today…now to call Monday to see about a Rockwell adapter.
Picked up another donor truck today…
Anyone see anything they need? The bed will go on my 68’.
The cab needs rockers, the frame is straight and clean. All the bolts on the bed and cab came out with any trouble, gotta love Colorado and the lack of rust.
I think I know the answer but, is there any value in the rear axle?

Glad I asked before I scrap the chassis. Should I post it up somewhere else?
402 in the casting?
Yeah, here, CL, FB. Those parts aren’t always easy to find
Engine was gone before I got to it, the po said it was a 350.
Yea, I wish there was somethig special about it…. Nope.You’re making this story suck
That would probably be a good cab for someone.
Neat truck! Rare one for sure, and amazingly clean. That Dana rear is original. I'd put a paycheck on it. Pop that cover and you'll find a detroit in there, guaranteed with how virgin the rest of that truck is. Dana is pretty good about date stamping their ring gears, maybe the carrier too will have something close to the build date of the truck. Dad has a coarse spline, semi floater D60 under his 65 C10. It's out of a 68 (chev not GMC) suburban, 1/2 ton 2wd, 396/auto with leaf springs. Boneyard find when I was a little kid. No I haven't seen em all, but anomalies like that Dana rear are factory installs.
Also, Ron is correct that 'C&C equipment' rpo Z62 is 'custom comfort and convenience group' In the dealer album/brochure and includes 'deep cushion bench seat', armrests both sides, vinyl door panels, passenger sun visor, cig lighter, and a padded dash. Didn't see another RPO for the trim around the windows or the door emblem like your truck has, maybe it's all included?? Not sure. You might've found that already but I was curious what it was. Brochure also lists the wheelbase at 127" for both a 3/4 pickup and a cab and chassis.
Oh yeah, what did Gear vendors say when you asked em about the T221 adaptor?

I haven’t asked GV about it yet, I’ll call them this week. Thanks for the info on the 60, very encouraging that it’s original.
Could use the AC parts from the orange truck to add it to the green one? Or maybe you would rather keep it original?
What does it look like under the hood?

The heater box is cleaner from the orange truck, I’ll probably change it out with the original 68 one.
How is this thing progressing?
Been having fun with this now that it’s on the road
