Some 1968 trucks were promoted in the "Golden Anniversary Sale", a celebration for building trucks for 50 years. These were just specially equipped packaged trucks a lower price than buying the options seperately. The only difference between this promotion than the other promotions was it came in only one color.These packages typically came out at mid to end of model year to spur sales. In 67, there was a "Pacesetter Special", in 72, there was the "Highlander" and in the mid 70's there was the "Bonanza". All special promotion trucks would be built in smaller numbers.
