Ya there where a lot of different options and such for these fine ole pickups! Also I believe it was custom classic truck mag that did an article in THIS MONTHS ISSUE on Henry Bently Bradley (SP?) he is the man that designed the 67-72 pickups! It's a great artical!! Also lets not forget some other rare options like the fact that you could get propane injection (Yes I said Propane) for the fact (maybe it was dealer instaled?) or those side steps that you could get in fleetsides. (Zumo has them in his truck) Also there was a special truck that you could order in Canada only it was painted Coral Ice Pink (anybody remeber what this truck was called?) Oh ya one last thing, don't forget these trucks also had 283's and 327's also! Oh wait and you could also get OVERDRIVE! This was only avaible on trucks with the 3-speed tranny! Ok I think I'm done now.......
