I recently traded my deluxe reverb reissue for a 1967 fender bassman 1x15 combo I found at a pawnshop. Sounds righteous with my g&l legacy. Its got a weber speaker and has gorgeous natural breakup with the volume at 4-5 while still producing those sparkling bell like sounds with the guitar volume rolled back. Gets along with pedals like no other amp i have ever owned. Now onto my question, after doing some research i have come to the conclusion that it might be a head that somebody converted into a 1x15 combo. Did fender ever produce a 1x15 combo in '67-68?

Not to the best of my knowledge. From my understanding, Bassman amps were exclusively available as heads after the tweed models went out of production.

Ill get a picture up sometime soon, but the post by ginormous pretty much answers my question. I was just unable to find any evidence that fender made them at all. It has a 6 knob layout with a bright switch on the normal channel, a deep switch for the bass channel and two inputs for each. Amp chassis is stamped as a '67. No doubt in my mind that it's authentic, now that i know they actually did produce them for a while. Curious whether or not its been modded, normal channel sounds killer.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Just because some people on The Gear Page were talking about them doesn't mean they didn't happen upon a head that someone else put in a combo cab. It's a fairly common mod, especially considering that Bassmans are pretty much the cheapest vintage Fenders. Drip edge Bassmans could be had for $50-100 fifteen to twenty years ago. And even before vintage Fenders were desirable, they were still the least in demand.

And that's coming from the proud owner of one:
