The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well folks, I thought it was time to show "Old Blue" before I had my new wheels put on. Here she is. Here is one of the new back wheel. My camera went dead before I could get a side shot so that will come maybe by Monday, lol. Gotta go to town to get new batteries. I'm gonna paint my drums and front caliper's the same color blue as my truck. Attachment 546393 Attachment 546394

Here she is with her new shoe's. I've never seen "Ole Blue" so happy! Also one of her new heater assembly that one of our fellow member's sold me. And her new locking glovebox. Attachment 548992 Attachment 548991 Attachment 548995

My wife bought me a 68 parts truck for Christmas, so this spring the build will begin. Can't wait to get started, hope it is as nice as most of the trucks on here.

Nice, are you staying with fleetside.??

Yes it will stay a fleetside. I am thinking about putting a wood floor in it and it will have the 68 nose as well.

Here are a few of an original paint 71 Cheyenne Super my brother bought in Port Lavaca Texas a few years back for $4000 (!). It was a HARD loaded truck with FACTORY 402 BB/ TH400, AC, tilt, tach factory AM FM, FACTORY CRUISE CONTROL (WORKING!), front sway bar and in bed spare tire mount. I don't have a picture of the SPID, but I think he does. It also had AC Delco rear air shocks with onboard compressor. There was a gauge and control under the dash to air up the shocks. It was not on the SPID, but the control had "AC DELCO" on it, leading me to believe it might have been dealer installed (?). The only thing I can think of that it didn't have was bucket seats. After putting new tires, shocks and tuning it up, he DROVE it back to Virginia where he lives. we threw the old camper shell I had on it to cover some other things he was taking back. I think it looks "period correct" on there. He said he got around 12mpg. He drove it a while, then sold it for $14,500 (!) I think the pics are kinda cool, as I took them with a low res cell phone camera, so they look old, even though they aren't.

The bumper guards were on the SPID too if I remember correctly.
It also had the bedside toolbox.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks

Is it a 71-72 with a 68 clip, or a 68 with 71-72 front axle/ disc brakes? I am leaning toward 71-72 with a 68 clip, due to the 73-80 bumper... I kept mad when I think about those needles and leaves getting down into the cowl...It's a shot step 4x4 for pete's sake!!!

Two of my favorite things... AA Fuel Altered and a 67-72 truck. Judging by the flat front edge of the hood and the slanted fender trim, I think it is a GMC (69-72?)
