I did end up have the exhaust replaced from the exhaust manifolds back. I also lowered the stock seat a couple inches with the gas tank out of the cab I also slid the seat back more. Cheap easy fix and way more comfortable seating position.

Do you have a picture of the finished seat brackets that you made. I would like to do that to a set I have.

Such a COOL simple truck. 68 is my favorite looking year of the 67-72.

My favorite kind of C10. Nice and clean, but not pretty.
I had a twin to yours a few years ago and it was great.
Looks like you're enjoying it.

Re: 1968 Chevrolet CST Survivior.

My guess is that is Not a 305 block at all.

Its diffidently got a nice set of early camel hump Hi perf Fuelie heads off a 327 . (Get the cast number off the back of the block).

Quote:

Large “camel humps” cast # 291, 461, 461X, 462 Original hi-perf or “fuelie” heads; chamber sizes are 62-64cc; both 1.94/1.50 & 2.02/1.60 valve versions available; 291 on 327’s thr ‘68; 291 have temp sender hole; 462 don't

Its got a Early intake manifold but that quadrajet is a late 70's early 80's carb , and its a good year quadrajet. Good Carb

You have a nice motor there . Change the oil :D

That might be the original 68 327 motor and its got hi perf heads. Maybe factory original on the CST

.

The 68 put some work in this last weekend! Also first time I towed with it, it did great. I was doing my backyard landscape project. I removed 13 wheelbarrows of dirt! I made 3 trips to my buddy to drop off the dirt.

Shorter overall height than the stock 68 truck wheel. I really like the fact that it’s a factory looking steering wheel to boot.

That is a great looking steering wheel. Can you give me some more info on it. I think that might work perfect on my project.
