So I got approached at the gas station tonight... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wilson_ · 05-22-2009, 03:16 AM

Guy walked up and said nice military spec 67.

I said well its a 67 but its not military spec. and he said yes it is, it has a small back window all the military trucks were made with small back windows.

I said I am not sure about the military part but all 67's came with the small back window except the ones with the option of the big( panoramic)back window.

Have any of you guys been told that before? Any truth to it?

BTW I have a 67 c/10 GMC
Thanks

he just wants to know everything about something, and in his mind, he does.

People who think they know it all make it really tough for those of us who actually do!

Expert: X means used to,pert means lively.Sounds like a barstool would fit his rear like a glove.

Andy nailed it.I just felt like posting,too.

It`s like this...you are absolutely correct.He is correct with a twist.Although "all" `67 small windows are not military-spec,all military-spec `67s are small windows.It`s an example of how perspective fails some folks.From his point of view it`s true.I`ll bet a cheeseburger the guy was a lifer.

I always heard that 'X' is a mathematical notation for the unknown, and a 'spurt' is a drip under pressure... an expert then...

cdowns · 05-22-2009, 06:31 AM

i know for a fact all military spec pickups from gm in 67 had windows

big_al_71 · 05-22-2009, 08:26 AM

At least he did not tell you about how "his father had one just like it or he had one when he was young" that is what I hear the most...
Wilson, did you tell him that it had military miami heads?

HAHAHH no he took of and said these trucks really wet my whistle

heidesign · 05-22-2009, 09:12 AM

Mine has a large back window, step side etc. This little thing here, makes me think it was "military spec".

Maybe not?

They are out there, you just have to know how to spot em.

That military-spec has the small front window.Maybe he`s right.

I guess all small windows are CUCVs.

I like that X-spurt definition better.

I didn't know my plain jane C30 was in the service, premium gas for you this weekend and thanks for your commitment to the good old USA.

**Palf70Step** · 05-22-2009, 12:47 PM

Heck dang near all trucks prior to 67 were the small window (unless optioned out), because you didn't need one really at all, you had your hay, cows, or other crap blocking the window anyways.

i stopped arguing with people who insist on my burb being modified, or one of a handfull of 3 door burbs.

Folks like that crack me up. At least it 'wet his whistle'...

67ChevyRedneck · 05-22-2009, 10:53 PM

That's so cool, I never knew I had a military spec 67!

Where can I get one of these? Traffic around here really pisses me off at times, this would really help me out...

(CG, you got some mad skillz man! That looks cool!)
