1967 Pontiac Pickup?...
 
A friend of mine on Deviantart.com, drew up a '67 Pontiac pickup, with the question "what if?". What if Pontiac had made a pickup?. Click on the link below to see the photo, and let me know what you guys think.

Not my style, looks too much like the Monkee Mobile. But definately an intriguing idea.

Yah, but sometimes uglier girls have their fun factor.....I like the Homesteader, but the other one should be named the aztec

Pontiac didn't need a pickup truck in the 60s. their Bonneville/Catalina trunks were almost as large as a short box...

but how about a 67-68 4x4 Firebird?

Pontiac did make a pickup. It's called a GMC :cool:. Even has the split grille.

But,if you want one that says "Pontiac",here ya go:

A member spotted a gold SWB that was done up,pretty well,as a Pontiac and showed pictures. I thought I saved them,but didn't find them. Does anyone else have those pictures saved?

Now we know why Pontiac didnt build trucks. I will say I like his neat little layout and ad.

And I love the Monkey Mobile ... Cant believe that haters :lol:

This was a real Pontiac concept truck.

I know these are El Camino based "trucks", but if Pontiac had every released a real truck based pickup in late 60's, they would have been the pullingingest (is that a word? -lol) trucks on the road.

Too bad they didn't build those, that is a nice GTO-camino, whatever you want to call it.

I think the sedan version of these were sold stateside as Pontiac GTO"s, but over here lots of people like to stick BOWTIE badges on them. I wonder if they were fitted with Hyundai motors would they rebadge them as well? Go figure.

special K, the one you posted is owned by Jim Brady ,owner of Supersport Sales and he has quite a few rare rides .I got to see that one in person at the Maryland Chevelle Show last year. He likes rare and odd ones like factory big block 4 speed chevelle wagons .He is even restoring a 4 door 72 chevelle that was special ordered with bid block and 4 speed ,the only one known to exist.

That's good to know. He's near you? I see his stuff at Carlisle. '72 454 4spd 4dr Chevelle,wow.

No he is not near me ,Pennsylvania or Jersey I think ,Im in Ga .I just know him quite well through the Chevelle shows we attend .He is quite a character and knows his car stuff .

Ok,ya never know. Lots of classic dealers from from down your way bring cars to Carlisle. Lots of "Georgia" and "Carolina" cars. That's a big sell up there

The only flaw with the artwork is that it wouldn't have a GM logo in 67. The divisions weren't corporate yet in 67, it would have a PMD (pontiac motor division) or just pontiac. ...

Actually, My Jimmy GT project has a subtle Pontiac flavor to it. This is the Photoshop I did of what I'm planning for the nose:

Guys ,if you ever run across a GMC Sprint grill emblem for cheap grab it ,they are not reproduced and they are worth quite a bit . Reason I know this is a friend of mine has a 72 Sprint and his is missing that emblem and he was not willing to pay the price for a NOS one .

Are you talking about the G-M-C letters for the Sprint? The fender and tail emblems are reproduced from Trim Parts. The S-P emblems on the other hand are worth a fortune (the GMC version of an SS).

In the late 50's GMC used Pontiac 347 and 336 CI engines, as well as some smaller CI Pontiac engines earlier. So at least back then, there were Pontiac pickups, sort of ;)
