Center cap hassle. I hate ugly hardware. Had to drill and tap my 15x7 fronts from 1/4 20 to 5/16 18. Very Happy with results, I really like this Look! Clean and Simple!

Re: 1968 Chevrolet CST Survivior.
New ignition. It always amazes me how good these old engines run with a pertronix ignitor and coil upgrade!
A couple buddies gathered for a Memorial Day Hotrod Breakfast.

Looks like a 1980 camaro 305/auto engine Built July 15 in Tonowanda Should do fine as that truck would have had a 307 possibly anyway. Tough engines but low hp. compared to an earlier engine.

Re: 1968 Chevrolet CST Survivior.
That steering wheel looks like it was born with the truck.
When you put the 5 inch rear drop springs in did you have to do anything in terms of panhard bar, etc?

a 305. I have a pretty extensive list of suffix codes and I am like you, I would like a block casting number to narrow this down. If I am wrong, it certainly won't be the 1st time. Or th last for that matter. I hope it turns out to be the 350.

Re: 1968 Chevrolet CST Survivior.
I was mostly going by the pad width.
I sure hope it is NOT a 305 also!!! |

What size tires are you running on your wheels?

Re: 1968 Chevrolet CST Survivior.
When I bought this truck I wanted to get it road worthy and enjoy it! Even if its a parts runner. The first event I took it to was 2nd Saturday at Vintage parts of Arizona June 2022. It was Great to be back participating at events. A buddy took the pick of us knuckleheads gathered around the 68!
