What is your dream truck?
 

Reading the posts of shortbed vs long bed and Cheyenne supers etc....IF you could order any 67-72 new, what would you order?
I would order a black 1968 Chevrolet cst shortbed, 396 auto, wood bed, heater delete, radio delete, red interior with buddy buckets pwr brakes and steering, tach, choke delete

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

It makes me wonder who has the most loaded, original SPID....but it might have already been posted here on the website.
A few options beyond your list (for me) would include am/fm, factory shoulder belts, 3:73:1, Posi, tilt wheel, cruise control, a/c, in bed spare tire mount.....oh, I could probably go on...lol

Big blocks weren't available on these trucks until 1969. As K put it, best you're going to get is a 327. My dream truck is in pieces pending rebuild. Other than that the 67 you mention works for me, but light blue.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

base model 67 or 68 K20 with the four speed. floor mats, white bumpers, and big white mirrors. no roof marker lights, those are just for pimpin'.

seafoam green, btw.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

The hardest part of this fantasy remains the time machine design...

(And yes I have had this same fantasy).

1). 1971 or 1972 1 ton, 9 foot long bed.
2). 292 6 cylinder engine
3). 3.73 rear end
4). 4 speed in floor *3 speed on column would be fine though
5). stepside
6). grill guard
7). ochre color
8). 7 gauge cluster including tach, vacuum pressure
9). bench seat
10). wood bed
11). air conditioning
12). power assisted steering
13). power assisted brakes
14). offset air cleaner
15). manual throttle
16). manual choke
17). spare tire on side
18). rear step bumper
19). NAECO (is that the company?) 4wd instal
20). tinted windows
21). painted bumpers
22). tilt steering *forgot about that one!


So basically a 1 ton, lwb 4 speed version of what I have with AC. :)

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

I'm going to venture to say most people would order something really similar to this truck. Belongs to member sameyrasmea72, definitely the highest option truck I have seen.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

396 was available in 68 according to the brochure, so I changed my dream to 68 as big block wins over small back window

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

Yes. This.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

a low optioned '67 short bed beats out any high optioned later model truck in my book . Stuffing one full of options it didn't come with defeats the attraction for me .:smoke:

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

I thought everyone knew that 68 was first year big block??? Not common knowledge?

My 68 Golden is about as close to anything I could imagine I'd want, and yes it came with the 396. In 1980 I was looking for just an old pickup, man life without a pickup is not good!

A friend told me about this pickup. A retired Pastor had owned it, his health had not been good for a while. It was not in very good shape. Just what I was looking for!!! I opened the hood and could not believe what I saw!

Mine is 396/TH400/AC/PS/PB. My only problem is getting it back to great condition! I'm working in that direction!

I plan to have front disc brakes, 3.73 posi, functioning AC, I have a bunch of stuff accumulated. Pickup came with 3.07 open rear. I completely rebuilt the drum brakes. They suck, even in new condition.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

LOL, I have one of those. Although it is a long bed. It has the small back window, which I don't care for...This one will get on road before the 68. It came with 283, glide, and that's about all...(Oh, it did have AC, weird option with so very few other options...) Will have 3.73 posi, 406, TH400, PS, AC, front disc.

72 Sierra Grande, 1500 SWB, 4x4, 350 auto,Black, parchment interior, Buckets and console, A/C, Tilt and tach.
Yea, that would please me! Of course I was only 14 years old then, and had paper route money!

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

My truck is fairly close to this ^^ but missing a few options. One day I'll make it worthy of it's own history.

At some point when I can eventually afford a second "keeper" I really want a 71-72 short fleet bare bones I-6 pickup in factory condition. Grandpa style...

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

I don't even have a SPID and I know that I own my dream truck. 72 custom 10 deluxe , 4x4 , swb, 350 manual.. I love my truck !!

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

GM didn't build a big block 4X4 in '68, so I would have to get two:
A long bed 4X4 with straight six, 4 on the floor and bench seat in light blue
and a 50th anniversary with a big block.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

I have always thought this was one of the best trucks on this board.
And that is still in existence
I believe it is a survivor, to boot.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

That looks pretty nice too.
I’m not sure I’ve seen it.
Gotta pic?

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

This one works for me. And I don't even know what kind of truck it is.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

1972 k5 2wd orange and white fully loaded

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

Forgot one more.

Cab lights oh and a driver side spotlight. AM/FM 8 track player too.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

A lotta BIG dreamers here, just give me basically what I have with the exception of adding power steering and better brakes and I'm as happy as an old man in a chevy truck. I'm just a simpleton I guess, LOL

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

These trucks are "the stuff dreams are made of."

I love any chance to quote old movies! :lol:

But a lot of us make what we have into what we dream about....threads every day about it.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

I made my own.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

X2. Yes a screamin' six-292, but it'd have to be 4 on the floor. I'm not keen on the column shift manual. 3 on the floor would be nice though, does anyone know if that was ever an option? I know some camaros and el caminos had them.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

Ya know, a 3 speed on the column is pretty neat and fun to drive and you free up that leg room space for the middle passenger, it's easier to slide over to the passenger side, and also, it makes dates easier. :)

*Amazingly someone on this site took issue with that last reason, thinking it was perverse. Hey, some of us still "date" our wives! (I plan to, once I marry her).

3OTT does take out the tilt steering though but to be honest if we lost our bellies we wouldn't need it anyway. It is a bit harder to drive though but practice. :)

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

If I had a dream truck and a dream car I would be about a bazillion dollars ahead. Instead Ive always let the next Ooooo lookit that! I want that one instead! Leads to piles of parts and projects in the barn and garage, and stuff you kinda wish you had back.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

Same here but for other things. I really have a hard time letting go of anything so I have run out of space. I am badly in need of another bookcase for example and yes for books!

If I had more space and well just money, then I could be out of space with vehicles, airplanes, machine guns, women.....you get the idea. :lol:

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

X2 for this bottom list.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

Working on mine. 72' K30 Duramax/allison

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

I really like your truck so I decided to build my own COPO version of your truck, but mine will be a ‘67 with a 427. Not sure of the color yet.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

Agreed! Excellent Models, I'm guessing most were made in the 80's and 90's though.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

'72 C-30 Rear Dual Wheel, Short Chassis, Basic Model, Red, Black Interior, 292, 4-Speed, only Options would be Gauges, Tach, AM-FM, Tinted Glass, Manual Choke, Highest Rear Gear, HD Radiator, West Coast Mirrors, and Tow Hooks.

Not too far off from what I already have.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

I like the one on the right best, but probably wouldn't kick any of them out of the bed.

Re: What is your dream truck?
 

The one in my driveway?
