1968 Chevrolet C10 Fleetside Long Bed — Turquoise Two-Tone, Inline Six, 3-Speed Manual Why This Car Is Special The 1967–1972 Chevrolet C10 generation, known among collectors as the 'Action Line' trucks, represented a complete redesign from the ground up. Chevrolet scrapped the previous generation's body and introduced a wider cab, a longer wheelbase, and an independent front suspension using coil springs — a significant engineering step for a domestic pickup at the time. The result was a truck that rode and handled more like a car than anything that had come before it wearing a bow tie. That combination of comfort, capability, and clean styling is exactly why the '67–72 generation has become the most sought-after classic truck series in the country, with values that have climbed steadily for over a decade. This particular 1968 Chevrolet C10 Fleetside Long Bed is a strong example of exactly what collectors are hunting for: a truck that hasn't been cut up, V8-swapped beyond recognition, or turned into a slammed show truck. It presents in its turquoise and white two-tone color combination with a brown leather interior, rolls on rally wheels with raised white letter tires, and shows 45,348 miles on the odometer. The undercarriage photos tell a compelling story — the frame, axles, and suspension components have been refinished and present with no visible rot or structural damage, which is the most important thing to verify on any C10 from this era. The VIN on this truck confirms it is a 1968 model year, Fleetside body style, C10 half-ton rating, built at the Flint, Michigan assembly plant — consistent with everything presented here. What makes this specific truck interesting beyond its condition is that it retains its inline six engine and 3-speed manual transmission. The vast majority of C10s you find today have been converted to V8 power, either at some point in their working life or during a restoration. A truck that still carries its original six-cylinder drivetrain is increasingly uncommon, and for a buyer who wants a correct, unmodified example rather than a restomod, that matters. The inline six in the 1968 C10 was offered in 250 cubic inch displacement, a torquey, long-stroke engine well suited to light truck use and known for its durability. Combined with the 3-speed manual and column shifter, this is the factory configuration as Chevrolet intended it.

The inline six has been detailed and painted in Chevrolet engine orange, which was the correct factory color for this application. The valve cover, intake, and block all present cleanly. The single-barrel carburetor is visible and appears correctly configured. The firewall and inner fenders retain their factory turquoise color, consistent with how General Motors finished C10 engine bays of this period. Underneath the truck, the undercarriage photos show a front suspension that has been cleaned and refinished. The coil springs, control arms, and crossmember are all visible and show no signs of corrosion damage. The 1968 C10 used an independent front suspension setup with coil springs, which was one of the key selling points of this generation over its predecessor. The rear axle housing, leaf springs, and spring perches are similarly clean. The single exhaust runs the length of the frame and exits at the rear bumper. The driveshaft, u-joints, and transmission crossmember all appear solid in the undercarriage photography. The odometer reads 45,348 mile
