This GMC C/K 1967-1972 got away, but there are more like it here.

1968 GMC 1500 Custom 3-Speed

Sold for $13,500 on 7/28/23

This 1968 GMC 1500 Custom is a step-side short-bed pickup that was sold new by Valley Garage of Kent, Washington, acquired by the seller around 11 years ago, and is powered by a 250ci inline-six paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. The truck is finished in green over green vinyl upholstery and features a wood-lined bed, a digital AM/FM radio, diamond-plate step rear bumper with a ball hitch, black tonneau cover, and steel wheels with chrome hubcaps. This GMC Custom is now offered with a copy of the sales invoice, partial service records, manufacturer’s literature, and a Washington title in the seller’s name.

The truck is finished in green and is said to have been repainted under previous ownership. Exterior equipment includes a step-side bed with a wood floor, a diamond-plate step rear bumper with a ball hitch, a black roll-up tonneau cover, quad headlights, and dual side-view mirrors. Various paint chips are present, the windshield also has a chip in it, and the gasket around the fuel filler is cracked.

Body-color 15” steel wheels wear polished and black-accented GMC-branded hubcaps and are mounted with mismatched 235/75 tires. A full-size spare is stowed beneath the truck bed. Braking is provided by drums at all four corners. The paint is chipped on the left-rear wheel. A brake line was reportedly replaced in early 2023.

The cabin houses a bench seat trimmed in dark green vinyl with light blue metal door panels. A black rubber mat covers the floor, and additional details include a GMC-branded digital AM/FM radio, a glove compartment, and lap belts. Scuffs are present on the doors, and the dashboard shows signs of chipped paint.

The light green three-spoke steering wheel shows wear and sits ahead of a body-color metal dashboard housing a 100-mph speedometer and a fuel level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 44k miles, around 300 of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.

The 250ci inline-six is topped by a single Rochester Monojet carburetor and sends power to the rear wheels via a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. The seller notes that the valve cover was replaced in early 2023.

Corrosion is present on the exhaust and suspension components, additional photos of which are provided in the gallery below.

The Washington title bears a “Classic” brand.
