Hello all, I have lurked here for a little while and checked out some great trucks and suburbans. I have been meaning to get pictures of my Dad's GMC pickup. 32 original miles. I hope you all enjoy it . :)

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
WOW thats a time capsule, please tell us more about this truck!

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Unreal! I believe you but this sure is unbelievable. How the heck does someone never drive a new vehicle? I thought the same when I saw Sting Rays with dealer mats and window stickers. I sure ain't THAT guy. it's mighty odd that it has painted hubcaps, side trim, and single mirror on a Custom with nice options. If he decides to part it out, I'd be interested in...

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Thanks for the interest everyone. Basically the backstory is that my Grandfather back in 66 had his old farm truck breakdown so he decided to go get a new one which is this truck I have posted. With Grandpa being from depression days he drove the new truck back with parts to fix his old truck. So now the old truck is fixed and he continued to use that so he parked the new one back in one of his barns. My Grandfather was quite the packrat and I think eventually he forgot it was back there as it was stuffed behind some old tractors and farm equipment. It was eventually pulled out of the barn by my Dad and Grandfather about 8-10 years ago. My Dad took it to his place and got it shined back up and running again. The tank had to be pulled and cleaned since it had original gas in it and the carb was very rough so he had to have it cleaned up by a GM shop. The GM boxes that are on the passenger floor is the radio and antenae as I guess they were not installed directly back then by the factory. I could be wrong on that though.

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Uh oh...... There's a parking ticket on the windshield. Lol
This truck is a GREAT example of how the interior is supposed to look. Especially the gauge cluster and the seat from the pics so far. What's the drive train? |
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
That's super nice. Where did your dad get it? Was it his dad's?
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
That's a great story, it's neat to see a truck like that and get the story too.
The radio and antenna were installed from the factory, but that one came to the dealer without them on the order sheet when the dealer ordered the truck. Your grandpa liked the truck, but wanted the radio, so the dealer included the radio and antenna. Your grandfather probably saved a few bucks by telling them he would install the radio and antenna himself. |

Here are some additional pictures. I believe it is a V6.

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Wow! That truck is incredible.
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
What else does your dad have in the garage?
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
wow!!!!!!!!
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
True survivor- I'm sure someone out there would pay big money for a chance to own such a low mile truck. Very cool!
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
that's a hidden time capsule
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Not to hijack the thread but my uncle bought one of those 750hp Corvettes, had it put on a trailer. Delivered to his garage and rolled into a stall. That was two or three years ago. Still sitting in the same spot with 0 miles on it.

Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
amazing.. I can understand why you would hold back on posting it. I personally don't know that I would post it to keep the crazies from coming out of the woodworks trying to buy it from you.
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
That's just CRAZY!!!
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Un-Freakin-Believable!!!!
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Thanks for sharing.
I bet member joesjunk, would love to own this one! |
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
That is awesome ! A true time capsule .I wonder how many miles the truck he went to get parts for ended up having on it .
Museum comes to mind on this one , I would almost put it right back where it was found and bring out again in 40 years . Peace |
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
WOW! What else can you say.
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Holy smokes. Very cool. Thanks for sharing! :metal:
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Is it For Sale? Interested?
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Unbelievable!!!
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
did these come with camper tops? or was that added after he drove it about 12 miles ? haha
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
That is really good looking "Piece of Garage Art" that looks a lot like a truck.
No disrespect meant. It's beautiful and should be in a Museum somewhere that lots of people can see it cause it "never was used as a truck and never should/would be given it's rarity and condition". At this stage any miles or scratches would significantly effect it so driving it is out of the question. Right? |
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Garage art is exactly what it is at this point. I know my Dad has mentioned about getting it into a Museum on loan at some point. I think if he ever sold the truck it would have to go a place with a larger collection that gets showed.
Its kind of hard to price something like this due to its rarity so even if it was for sale it would be hard to find an actual value. I always thought it would be neat to see it go through a Barrett or Mecum auction so the truck could be a celebrity on TV....LOL I do have a picture of it when it got pulled from the barn and shows it on the flatbed with all of its 40+ years of its dirt and grime on it. I will have to find that and post it. |
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Really neat truck, I've never seen a instrument cluster that looked like that. So clean.:metal:
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
I wouldn't sell the truck unless someone offered me a life-changing amount of money for it.
|
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Thankyou so much for sharing!! Definately a fine example for the purists to disect.
That thing is WAY BETTER than any Lambriech truck.. Any extra photos your willing to post are appreciated. Let the drool flow...:c2: |
Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality
Sweet truck. Thanks for sharing with us. Im seriously drooling myself. This is one of the many things I love about this forum, many of us have something going on with our Dads old trucks.:metal:
