What ever happened to the 1967 chevy truck that GM was going to re-produce

FRCvette · 11-22-2018, 09:05 PM

Yep I would like to know more info too.

classicham · 11-22-2018, 09:16 PM

I think they were just going to remake one to have it at the sema show last year paired with with a centennial Silverado

cornerstone · 11-22-2018, 09:29 PM

Someone fill us in here please. I remember hearing some talk about this but hadn’t heard anything since. Very curious.

Ask and you will receive.

Yeah, I think this made the rounds here a while back at the 100th.

It looks like any truck at a cruise-in that is restored to one guys personal taste(not mine) and has lost its originality.

clear-lake-gmc · 11-23-2018, 09:43 AM

do you guys ever think they would re-style the new trucks like the old trucks kinda like ford and dodge did with there muscle cars, there is another thread asking if you'd trade your old ride for a new one and my brain got thinking about this, i'd like to see it happen but would be scared of what the "designers" would come up with

**special-K** · 11-23-2018, 10:33 AM

How did they come up with doing a '67 I wonder? Seems odd to pick one year off of the 50th year truck. I wish they would have done a shortbed from each body style in the same approach. What a fleet?? Sure, I'd like to see all original examples or all done in period styling affects. I'd say all three and make a permanent museum! And a set of work trucks... and 4wds. Original and...............

67chevemall · 11-23-2018, 11:01 AM

Just like the pyramids you can't rebuild perfection.
For one we destroyed the earth and got all the good iron. The crap they call steel today isn't worthy of a 67 chevy today. 67 fleet being the best truck ever will never be reproduced.

I wondered also.....68 was Golden anniversary....

and then the 100th pickup. One choice only, stickered at $53,000.00, it's more than my house...
The folks that hold these positions at GM ALL, ALL make mega $$$ their touch with the common working man is minimal...

I was hoping for maybe a 4 door, 2WD, nothing overly fancy 100th pickup. Something that I MIGHT be able to afford...

**HO455** · 11-23-2018, 01:05 PM

Nobody went down to their dealership and put a down payment on one. If 50,000 people had GM would had made it happen. It is all just marketing these days. Throw some idea out there and see if the public responds with their cash. There are no more John Delorean's at GM. Just accounting types worried about their bonus.
Besides have you seen the "New Bronco"? Not even close to what a early Bronco was. And don't even get me started on the new GTO.

Don’t forget the new blazer...

**HO455** · 11-23-2018, 03:40 PM

For crying out loud! What are they thinking? They've turned it into a Lexus! And in my opinion one of the ugliest Lexus' ever made to boot. Let's hope they don't do a retro truck.

The real question remains who made the logos and can I get a few of them.

YBNORML · 11-24-2018, 03:06 AM

Looks to me like it reflects current trends. Most of these trucks get modified for fun sunday cruisers. I know that there are a lot of members on this site who think that that is ridiculous, but its just the way it is.

**72 tigger** · 11-24-2018, 10:57 PM

Not the best pic, but they could have done something like this

Do I like it? No. But you have to admire the quality of work. Judging by the offset of the wheels. The front clip, cowl, doors and box were all grafted onto a newer cab. Its amazing work, just not my thing.

Coley · 11-25-2018, 12:21 AM

...I thought that pic of the blue truck was some sort of reference only.....not an actually GM design effort.
Do I have that correct?

If that is the truck...then I agree with some of the others, that looks like 37,417 other recent classic trucks at every show'n shine....lowered, shortbed, oversize wheels......ie....the new normal.

No disrespect to anyone if that is their particular taste. Simply build/do/drive what you enjoy.

If your target is to cause an impression tho'.....after a while its like a version of Dr. Suess's the sneetches (...if anyone remembers that).

I'm not sure just what stands out specifically anymore....but just what is custom today, and thus unique.... is not something that is clear to me.

All good

**special-K** · 11-25-2018, 09:00 AM

I think they did a great job mimmicking the current trucks in a '67 w/o taking away from the truck itself. A well done retro blend job. I just don't see why it wasn't an almost identical except side markers 50th year '68. I know some people are stuck on '67 only... cleanest year, and all that. But this is not a promotion for that one group.

Coley · 11-25-2018, 01:14 PM

...one thing for sure about it, is that it will undoubtedly be a better driver and general all around vehicle than the original or any of the older trucks...that is for sure.

Its hard to beat the new technology when its highly engineered and brought together as a package.
....I'm wondering what the interior looks like.

All good
Coley

**72 tigger** · 11-25-2018, 05:40 PM

A few more pics. Think the interior is stock ‘16
