Brian,
Awesome looking 68! I have a few binders full of build sheets and window stickers for big Chevys. Let me know exactly what type of info you are looking for regarding codes. I'd be happy to help you out. I also have a few questions myself about this car.

Steve,

Well basically I need a code for whatever would have been on the build sheet, i.e. everything.

Here's the options that the car has:

AM radio
Heater
4-speed
Factory Posi-Traction (decal under trunk lid re: posi)
Color (Black/Black/vinyl int/bench seat)
Tires code (don't know what wheels/tires it would have had)
F41 suspension (Dad is pretty sure that's what it has, and F41 is the code right?)

The car didn't have the orig trans in it when Dad bought it, it had a Borg-Warner T-10. We now have a probably-correct M20 that is going in which we had built and is stamped with the VIN of the car. We're assuming an M20 just based on the numbers produced. From an article on SuperChevy.com:

"[for '68] Big car four-speed transmissions totaled 6,596 wide-ratio [M20 right?] and 1,052 close-ratio. [M21 right?] The heavy-duty M22 four-speed transmission numbered 124."

Let me know what questions you have about the car, Steve, and thanks a ton in advance!

-Brian

P.S. Engine going back in this afternoon!
