msgross · 06-28-2009, 01:47 PM

better hurry, aren't you moving soon???? Just tow the 50th trailer behind the 50th cab with no bed and tell people it slid back there and you can't get it to slide back!

Some 1968 trucks were promoted in the "Golden Anniversary Sale", a celebration for building trucks for 50 years. These were just specially equipped packaged trucks a lower price than buying the options seperately. The only difference between this promotion than the other promotions was it came in only one color.These packages typically came out at mid to end of model year to spur sales. In 67, there was a "Pacesetter Special", in 72, there was the "Highlander" and in the mid 70's there was the "Bonanza". All special promotion trucks would be built in smaller numbers.

Everything looks A-Ok to me

STOCKISH · 07-02-2009, 09:25 PM

That looks like something I would do. Totally disassemble a truck knowing I was moving in a month. Gotta love it. Plus, there is no better inspiration than knowing you have to put it together or part it out. Good luck and cant wait to see more pics.

Mayo · 07-02-2009, 10:58 PM

I love 50th trucks. I want one. That thing will be nice.

No, not yet. I just cleaned it up and put some new gear oil in. I have a 3.07 posi in Pensacola that I may eventually put in it. I have to work this weekend, so the only thing I've got done so far was to install the swaybar I got from JAKE97.

gcburdic · 07-12-2009, 12:03 PM

Well...that's cool how you flipped the frame mounted bushings for the sway bar....I assume it works just fine?!?!?....

With the poly bushing it's pretty tight, but I think it will be alright. I've been wanting to try that for some time now, so I figured I might as well on this truck. Plus, I saved $30 by not buying the shorter mounts,

gcburdic · 07-12-2009, 08:57 PM

So how would you grease these??...did you move the grease zirk and change the fitting?...I think it's a great idea!
