The rarest of the rare options? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

78f1hundo · 08-13-2004, 03:48 PM

Hey guy's,

Kinda new here...

Just seeing if I can get a list of the rarest options going.

I currently own a 72' Cheyenne Super, she is a rust bucket.

I figured this would be a fun thread and test everyone here! Haha!

Burnsman · 08-13-2004, 03:53 PM

I'm sure there are a few, but I would think shoulder belts would be one of them. My GMC has them. I've only seen a few other sets around. Tow hooks are fairly rare. Highlander option? Not many of those. We need someone like CPNE or one of the other guru's on here!!!!!

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-13-2004, 03:58 PM

IS ONLY 4 OPTIONS RARE

, JJ, I'M SURE BURNSMAN'S IS A GOOD ONE.

78f1hundo · 08-13-2004, 04:03 PM

Speed Warning on the Speedo
Vacum gauge
Air Pressure gauge

The seatbelt is good, I forgot about that one.

1969 GMC · 08-13-2004, 04:17 PM

vac & air pressure gauge were only on c/40 and heavier trucks.

shoulder harnesses and cruise are pretty rare.

A few 72's · 08-13-2004, 04:17 PM

Luv,
The first one is the model, so you only have 3.
Sounds rare to me...

shortymac83 · 08-13-2004, 04:30 PM

I'm not sure, but were the gauge packages standard in 1967? If not, I've got 2 options, an AM radio and the gauge package. yeah, that's about it... Besides that, you're looking at a totally bare bones 250 (1bbl) powered 3 speed C10.

franko72 · 08-13-2004, 05:43 PM

Front stabilizer, cruise control,Aux.tanks, Tachometer,Tilt steering,side bed tire mount.these are options that really arent rare but you dont see them on most trucks.

LeRoy · 08-13-2004, 06:40 PM

The bedside toolbox is pretty hard to find, tissue dispencer ect.

chevman-67 · 08-13-2004, 06:51 PM

I only have 1 sunvisor other was optinal!

Castiron9 · 08-13-2004, 07:04 PM

I'll second Leroy...A....."rust free tool-box door"...........

Harold Shepard · 08-13-2004, 07:17 PM

Heater delete would be the biggest one I could think of, never seen one, don't know why you would want that option.... It gets cold here, haha.

68w/sbc406 · 08-13-2004, 07:35 PM

here is my option list
model # CS10934
04503AA Light Green
04M20AG 4 Speed Transmission
04611GA Green Vinyl Trim
wouldnt you love to have those options?
Were seat belts optional in 68? Or did the P.O. take them out? When i got my truck it didnt have any.

Orange70chevy · 08-13-2004, 07:59 PM

I would have to say the rarest options I ever seen was on my truck. It was a set of oldsmobile hub caps

Never seen another one with them.

Maybe it wasn't extremely rare when it came out but I'm sure there aren't too many trucks with factory installed shocks connecting the bed to the cab still running around.

I just saw one of those in the bone-yard a few weeks back! 75 I think. Had a great aux battery set-up too.

Huck · 08-13-2004, 09:04 PM

Shoulder belts for the rear seat on a Blazer! Saw them only once. And the Blazer was 2x4 and being parted out!!!

>X< · 08-13-2004, 09:09 PM

tow hooks is what i've always heard

69 Short Fleet · 08-13-2004, 09:43 PM

Rear leaf spring helpers, tilt for 4 speed, AM/FM 8 Track stereo (but not positive) Doug

vtblazer · 08-13-2004, 10:15 PM

OK, how about "original Owners"...those are pretty rare.

Oh, sorry, you said 'options' :p
Weren't tops and windows an option on blazers?

**clay68c10** · 08-13-2004, 11:30 PM

I saw a '72 super cheyenne with a clock to the right of the collumn once. I thought only the vacuum gage went there....

Bryan68custom · 08-13-2004, 11:44 PM

How about a 68 three speed overdrive? That's what mine had from the factory, long gone now though.

Longhorn Man · 08-14-2004, 01:36 AM

68w/sbc406 , the seat belts were standard in all C-10 - C-30 trucks. Yours were removed.

This only shows one option. I can't make it out, but the int was not optional, the paint was not optional and the model number was not an option, so that only leaves one thing there to be an option.

Speed warning wasn't an option anymore in 72, that was killed in 70.
Vac and air pressure was only on C40 & up as indicated, the clock was not an option in the US, some say it may have been in Canada.
The spring helpers were not very rare, and the 8 track was not a factory option, neither was stereo. The tissue dispensor wasn't a factory option, just a dealer add on.
I don't know of the sway bar being rare, 2 of the 3 I've had came with them, many, if not most that I have looked at had it too.
4 speed tilt is way rare, shoulder harnesses are pretty rare, rear shoulder in a blazer...never heard of that, but I'll take your word... cruise controll was pretty rare, center seat belts were pretty rare. I'm sure I'll think of more tomorow.

Budweis · 08-14-2004, 02:07 AM

wasnt there a dual battery option?

Ozark Tim · 08-16-2004, 09:08 AM

My 72 GMC Sierra has a somewhat unusual manual throttle option. How abou that??? I had a 69 truck with factory shoulder harness. But it is the only one I had ever seen. I have owned 3 Highlander 72,s, and I am very partial to them. Maybe some of the rareest options of all are special paint options. Schemes that were done in limited numbers for special orders. It would be cool to know for sure.
