Came across this pic and thought it was pretty neat. It's some kind of special edition C10. I've seen one of these trucks on here before but I'm mainly a 60-66 guy and I can't recall the details. Perhaps someone can fill in the details. Anyway, enjoy 67-72 guys. Hope it's not a repeat.

I thought it was this - but I think I am wrong

It looks like you may be partially right. There appears to be a feathers Blazer in the background.

I think those decals were a dealer-installed item. I've never seen that pattern. It could have been a one-off for the car show. The feathers were more popular.
There's a van in the background behind the Vega that has some stickers as well.

Ive seen posted here somewhere a brochure or something that shows all these sticker package options. Ill see if I can find it ... been a long time though.

hamjet · 12-30-2015, 06:40 AM

That would be pretty gutsy to buy a new truck with those decals. I would think it wouldn't be long before you would get tired of looking at it every time you walked to the truck..

**Boog** · 12-30-2015, 07:08 AM

It would be like driving a billboard around. Neat for shows but that's all.

It looks real close to the one called "the Hawk" in the ad

It's ironic that the "1776" edition (the most patriotic theme available) was not available to dealers in Washington DC

Indeed it does

I forget what show that is in '72, Detroit? But Chevy is showcasing the Mod Bod graphics sold as part of the accessory program. That Van, El Camino, and Vega Camback are sporting the graphics as well. Doesn't look like the brown Van or suburban have them. Custom graphics paint jobs had be coming on and this was Chevy's response to that. Or moore like reponse to Mopar using bold graphics. It was the beginning of the vinyl performance era of the '70s. Not so favorable today, and never were my taste, any sticker graphics. Mopar went big with that back then and I never liked that, either. I guess it all started with rallye stripes and went from there. Those 340 Cudas had to be the ugliest things ever, IMO. But these days a mint one of those is worth crazy money. Still gross if you ask me, especially with a vinyl top? Is it a race car or luxury? Make up your mind or just try being subtle and tasteful like GM:

Oooo, Feathers Blazer... my fave.

Yeah, what's up with that? The didn't want the Kennedys putting these schemes on their Chappaquiddickmobiles or what? That's so weird, I'd love to know the back story behind that decision.

Where are all the retired GM VPs when you need them?
