The truck would have had carpet when new being a cst.
The engine is the original YS coded 327 I believe.
Cypressbog I got the pics you sent me of the bed parts. I will need those parts to fix the shortened bed.
Interesting...
I didn't know that a CST would have carpet. When I got mine, it had a funky pattern indoor/outdoor carper glued to the cab floor AND inside the bed...
A 68 327 should be a large journal block, meaning that it should NOT have that extra hole back by distributor hole for the crank case breather setup, that all small journal blocks had.....meaning that you could easily put a longer stroke crank in it, 350 or 383. Not sure if any of the import cranks are made for small journals...

Hope you can restore the bed back to 9'
