1968 Adventurer
Found a 68 Adventurer in a barn yesterday. Been parked for 10-15 years, was a 318, but has a 383 now. Bucket seats, dash shifter, all the inside adventurer trim. Did they put the buckets in trucks in 68, or would they be from a later truck. Will be a driver next summer after replacing many rubber components.

Yes, they did put bucket seats in the '68 Adventurer!! That is what I have in mine. I "believe" that the bucket seats were an OPTION.

Re: 1968 Adventurer
It should have a DODGE in script emblem on the glove box door. If there, and not broken, that is a rare find! Also, the handle that releases the seats to adjust them is usually broken. It has a weak point at the bolt hole - not enough meat left after they drilled the hole in the rod. Be careful with it.

Re: 1968 Adventurer
Not a DODGE emblem, but an Adventurer emblem on the glove box door. My "A" was broken off and I found another Adventurer one at a flea mart, but the "pins" were broken off. I'm not sure how to attach it...PwrWgnDrvr wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 11:02 pmIt should have a DODGE in script emblem on the glove box door. If there, and not broken, that is a rare find!

I didn't know the seat adjuster handle was weak. I never change the position anyway.

Re: 1968 Adventurer
I think I mixed up the yrs. DODGE was on the 69-71 glove boxes. And yes, the A is almost always broken off. You could "glue" it on with various adhesives.
