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.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
