ANYWAY, this truck did have 396 emblems directly over the front marker lights -- to this day I have never seen any emblems like them -- They were the same style emblems as the "283", "327", and "409" tall chrome emblems that were placed above the crossed-flags emblem you'd see on '64 - '67 Impalas.

I managed to talk my father into having it towed to the house because it was so rare -- he obliged, but a few years later while I was away at school, some guy spotted it in the backyard and gave him $600 for it. It kills me because '68 is my favorite year.

The truck was light blue with a white top, and although rough..was complete. Anyway, few will believe me especially since I have no pictures of it, but I swear it's true! I tried searching for this emblem on the net & cannot see where it even existed. Oh well, it was what it was.
