I thought everyone knew that 68 was first year big block??? Not common knowledge?
My 68 Golden is about as close to anything I could imagine I'd want, and yes it came with the 396. In 1980 I was looking for just an old pickup, man life without a pickup is not good!
A friend told me about this pickup. A retired Pastor had owned it, his health had not been good for a while. It was not in very good shape. Just what I was looking for!!! I opened the hood and could not believe what I saw!
Mine is 396/TH400/AC/PS/PB. My only problem is getting it back to great condition! I'm working in that direction!
I plan to have front disc brakes, 3.73 posi, functioning AC, I have a bunch of stuff accumulated. Pickup came with 3.07 open rear. I completely rebuilt the drum brakes. They suck, even in new condition.
