Hey guys. Noob from SD here. I've just been presented with an opportunity at a 1968 chevy pickup. The guy says its a 396 cid camper special k30 dually with a 4 spd stick and that it is 1 of about 800 made and could be worth a lot if restored properly... does this sound right to any of you guys? I'm only 18, so i'm not exactly familiar with these older pickups, any comments would be helpful!

Also, does any one know the horsepower that the 396 truck engine put out? I know some of the 396's used in the chevelle/el camino SS put out 375 hp, but the some of the others put out 325...
