A camper special?? stock ![panic]
Either way in parts alone, for ORIGINAL FACTORY ones, no less. You're sitting on more that you realize you have. Windshield, grill, doors and bed look good for the year. Not to mention the emblems are there.
If i didn't have OHS last week. I'd cheerfully drive up and take it off your hands. Throw a slide in camper on that, and cruise the western U.S.
Possibly $7800 for the pickup in fair condition.. yours looks better than fair unless the motor is blown or something. Rust free body adds more value than a good drivetrain though.

That truck is my favorite GM body style. I never figured out why it had such a short lifespan, quickly replaced by the "super square" models.
Same here. It's funny that among a lot of people younger than me, the "square body" (1973 - 1989) has sort of become the "classic:" old Chevy, but I always hated the square body because it killed the gorgeous 67 - 72 body style.Quote:

I think the only reason Chevy stuck with the Square Body for so long is that when the gas crisis hit, they shifted emphasis to smaller cars and trucks (remember the LUV?) and figured there was no point in tweaking the full size truck lineup at that time.
seriously, put that thing on Ebay. if you want it gone, put a no-reserve auction up.
someone will come and get it
I have a 64 C10 that needs a bench seat. That 68 wouldn't happen to have a bench seat would it?
But to answer your question, I volunteer on a FD. They are always looking for vehicles for training needs. I would also recommend calling them as they will use them for training.
I’ll come grab the truck. Make it into a first car for my daughter.
To give you helpful answers:
AFAIK You do not have to register something to get a title copy. You can probably get a duplicate title if it was last registered in Texas. Problem is, you have to get that from the Texas DMV. Call them and give them the VIN # and see what process they have and if they can do it entirely by mail.
WORST case you have to do a lost title process in CO, which involves getting a bond and filling out extra paperwork. Net cost on something like the 68' is probably about $500 if you have to go that route. If you do, ask more questions and I'll see what I can do, as I have in fact done that before. You do not have to register to sell it at all. Title in hand is good enough. Some people will be willing to buy it without a title (just a bill of sale) and they will do the lost title app. Note that they will be happy to shave off $3,000 off the price for all the help they are doing for you. When it comes to stuff like this, the amount of people willing to help is amazing [Coffee] No offense intended to all earlier offers in this thread, but yeah.
It is really worth your time to grab a title and properly auction/sell it.
