Re: 68 c20 DRW stakebody
Very cool! I think this is only the fourth one I have ever known of. slomotion's '68 was the first I ever saw. My friend had a GMC C2500 DRW. I wish I could have ended up with that

Re: 68 c20 DRW stakebody
Very rare factory option indeed. It also appears to have the factory supplied flatbed on it.
Built in the day when you went down the "Menu" and checked the boxes of what you wanted. Please post more pic's when you get it home. It's my understanding that farmers wanted the DRW for a larger foot print on softer ground. Either way that truck is very worthy of a full blown top notch restoration IMHO. |

Re: 68 c20 DRW stakebody
one at a time it is
I appreciate the input about farmers ordering this option. This truck may have been Navy. I am wondering if it would help in sand. |

Re: 68 c20 DRW stakebody
I'm anxious to see more pictures! Never thought the dual wheels were a factory option on trailing arm, 3/4 ton trucks.

Re: 68 c20 DRW stakebody
My friend's GMC C2500 DRW was a 69/70. This is the only picture I have on my computer. It was medium olive poly originally, which became available in '70

Re: 68 c20 DRW stakebody
Special K, very cool truck and thanks for sharing. Im partial to the GMC. how were the rest of the options?

Re: 68 c20 DRW stakebody

[EDIT] OK. He got back to me: It was a one ton [C/3500] with a 351 V6 and New Process 4-speed, and No Spin rear. He did not recall the final drive ratio.

Re: 68 c20 DRW stakebody
A military truck would show on the SPID like the ones in the thread below. Not that it matters as you've got a great truck. Both thumbs up!
