What are the RARE Options
 

Can some and/or all of you put your 2 cents in as to what are the rare options for our trucks? Items such as speedwarning, cruise, etc. I know there probably isn't too many since I doubt there were many options available to customers back then. Anyway, your 2 cents is welcome.

Chance

My suburban has a Fuel Filter on the option sheet. I had never seen one on a sheet before. I figured it was just one of these inline filters like you see on all most all trucks going into the carb until I was up under the burb the other day and low and behold in C-Channel of the frame coming from the gas tank is a mounted and hard lined plumbed fuel filter~! I need to take a closer look at it and see how to change the filter~! Other than that there are lots of "rare" items here are some FACTORY Options I know of that are rare:
-Radiator Overflow bottle
-Tow Hooks
-AM/FM Radio
-8 track player
-Child Safety Seat (never seen one but they are in my owners manual~!)
-Traction Control
-Cruise Control
-Keg holding tank ( oh wait that is on my Budweiser Clydesdale hitch)

Rust Proofing

I'd like to get a hold of a Bud Light Keg holder.

Shoulder Belts

I might be wrong, but I think skid plate option is fairly rare.

I have tow hooks! I'd like to see the rad overflow bottle. Anyone have pic's?

I agree with the shoulder belts, I've never seen a set .

Speed Warning

edit, I see it's up there alreadt, oh well :-)

I'd say the rarest is the Kilometres per hour speedo. Try to find one of those in north america...

Here is a long thread from the last time this came up.
Most of the items listed in the owners manuals are not actually options, just accesorries.

Other people's children...I'm tellin you. :rolleyes: :crazy:

hahaha that guy was smokin crack

How about a bedside tool box, at least one with a good door.

Well, my 69 GMC half ton has the 350 with turbo 400 trans, cruise control and the factory fuel filter under the cab on the frame rail. I also heard, although it's rare, that these trucks also came with seat covers that didn't say,"Your going to fast!!!"

A right hand drive truck?????? Is this for real or are you just messin with us???? Where were these made and in what country can you find them?????

Is that really a right hand drive or is it a picture developed with the negative turned around? You almost had me except the gas filler is switched too.

The shift lever is also on the left side of the column. And the gas pedal is on the left. Must be for a left footed driver.

hey its as real as the 'shorthorn'

photochoppin gone bad... :metal: :hm:

That right hand drive is legite. There a reference to a right hand drive in one of the factory assembly manuals!

Post some more pic's. Me too thinks that has to be one of the more rare trucks/options.

Man would that be weird driving your truck, now only from the right side....

OK, I didn't look at the picture close enough. The photo is reversed. Thought that was too good to be true, a real picture of one.

But really, there is refernce to right hand drive in the Assem. Manual. If any would actually exist would be rare.

right hand drive
 

I heard that quite a few went to Australia for Postal Vehicle... Thats why there is that wiper mount located on the far right side... But, haven't ever seen or heard anything more than that...
Also,... I lost my left arm when I was 5 yrs old... So,... Mine is always a "Right-Hand-Drive"... haha,... :lol:

I don't know if these are rare but my C20 has:

4N18JS Aux fuel tank
4P13AP Side mounted wheel
4RM5CA 750x16x10 spare
4RM5AA 750x16x10 fronts
4RM5MA 750x16x10 rears
