1968 Chevy Fleetside SWB SHOW TRUCK custom restored 100%

1968 Chevy C-10 Fleetside SWB

Only selling so I can buy a friend's 1969 Chevelle SS Big Block matching numbers car.  

Completely restored; ground up. frame-off. nbsp;full rotisserie with all new parts. Only 1. 00 miles.  

I don't have to sell this truck. so no insulting offers please. CALL 256/443. 8846 if you are really serious.

Frame and cab are matching numbers. Bottom looks as good as the top (but underside is semi gloss black). did on a rotisserie so that it would look this good. Cab rear window section is from a 67 as I much prefer the look of the small window. No rosette rivets or VIN tags were altered in any way. Done by a master metal-man.

Like most true gear-head projects this car started out to be a “daily driver”. Hahaha

As usually happens with us perfectionists. every time I replaced a old part with a new one I kept finding it made all the others look bad. So what do you do. well if you are really picky you replace them all and end up with a show truck that is drive-able on a daily basis.

As you know. these 1967-1968 Chevy C-10 short-bed trucks are HOT and very collectible. Check the Mecum and Barret-Jackson auctions. There is another nice one currently here on eBay that is listed at $40. 00. Mine is thousands less. and this one is the best of the best. and it is totally done and ready to start winning trophies or simply being admired at your local cruise-in.

Prefer cash sale. but interesting 4 speed muscle car trades considered. they show be show quality.

Please NO Brokers. don't need help selling.

Hagerty places value at $40. 00-45. 00 and you could easily put that into one this nice (ask me how I know; lmao). You can't build it this well for my selling price-plus it could take years like mine did. Keep in mind it is a frame-off. nut and bolt restoration with most bolts replaced with all new GM bolts or stainless steel button head bolts. Grade 8 was used where applicable. Attention to detail is everywhere you look.

I prefer personal inspections or can work with a local appraiser that you pay for. The truck looks much better in person as I am not much of a photographer. Have all documentation on the rebuilds.
