My 2 Cents
Well, if I'm wrong about this I'm blind. I personally have seen and rode in all three year models that I mentioned in my earlier post with Powerglides behind a 396-325 in a Chevelle. I have 2 buddies that bought new SS Chevelles in '68, one of them was a Turbo, the other was a Powerglide. Oh, and I also worked at a GM dealership in the late 60's.
