Good point to which I agree...
From my limited knowledge the 67-72 Chevy Trucks area was the time period that a truck could be optioned out with car like features and options. A big motor, AC, Bucket Seats, Guage Package, 400 Turbo Automatic, AM-FM radio and one could even get an 8 track player from the dealer. And the list goes on.
As been said previously, trucks were used as work trucks and never considered a vehicle of choice to go to town but the 67-72 Chevy and GMC trucks changed the mind set of Americans. Interior options with brite trim and colors to match ones fancy were now an option to buyers. This was anew dawn for truck lovers. And the rest is history...
