I am keeping my truck as close to factory as possible except I switched out the brakes, suspension, steering box and will have 16" Torque Thrust wheels. As has been said...buy what makes you happy. There is a saying that is going around, "Rare doesn't make it desirable" or even in some cases more valuable. I guess I like all 67-72 Chevy/GMC trucks. LWB or SWB, loaded with options or bare bones...they are all sweet.




Another point...If I had a choice between a SWB with low options and a LWB fully loaded with options for the same $$$....LWB hands down. Read the link below and it will also give you some insite to these great ICONS that we own and drive.

Read the article below and see why these trucks rock!
