Re: Numbers Matching
Of course ALL the Corvettes, Certain Chevelles and Camaros have value for "numbers matching" as they had specialty engine and transmissions and suspension packages available. Trucks are utilitarian in nature, and there were no specialty engine options or performance suspensions available. So, "numbers matching" to these trucks doesn't really apply to any kind of value other than sentimental value.
Having the original engine in one of these trucks that came between the frame rails from the factory is definitely cool. I have the original engine in my 1972 GMC C1500 (well... the block is original anyways)... but I would never offer it up as numbers matching and try to gain more money for it.
