71-72 Disc Brakes Tailgate Decal ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72 Cheyenne K20 · 02-24-2005, 04:35 AM

I bought some NOS parts yesterday and the guy gave me this decal. He said he got it from the dealer and that it was factory for a 71-72 Chevy truck. I have never seen one on a truck before. Does anyone know of this decal and where it goes.

Thanks, Scott

71 only if I'm not mistaken...it goes on the tailgate.
I know some one should have a pic.

wannabeburbowner · 02-24-2005, 04:43 AM

I have never seen/heard of such a thing. But I have a 71 and I'm very interested in learning more about it.

71swb4x4 · 02-24-2005, 04:46 AM

Here you go!
This picture isn't more than a minute old. I will throw in some fresh snow for free.

**too much stuff** · 02-24-2005, 04:47 AM

I believe it is a 71 only thing and goes in the upper left hand corner of the gate. I think joesjunk has a nice 71 gate with it still on there. Maybe he would show us.

**Ironhorse** · 02-24-2005, 04:52 AM

Yep, came stock factory on original '71 tailgates. Disc brakes being standard items on a truck back then was a selling point for GM trucks. Have my original 'gate with the decal still on it but rather faded. When I put the smooth faced 'gate on the truck picked up a repop decal and put it on just for grins.

I can imagine...they beat every other truck maker to it.

cheyenne10 · 02-25-2005, 07:43 PM

Are these not repoped also?

bagged91 · 02-24-2005, 05:48 AM

Was this a P/U only thing or did Burb's & Blazers get the sticker too???

RED72blazer · 02-24-2005, 05:51 AM

I have seen a 71 jimmy with that sticker

greenhorn male · 02-24-2005, 05:54 AM

Here's a couple of shots

**Joesjunk** · 02-24-2005, 02:52 AM

If the decal is still avaliable I would like to have it.
Thanks, Joe

**Joesjunk** · 02-24-2005, 02:53 AM

WOW, How did my relpy get up at the top??

72 Cheyenne K20 · 02-24-2005, 12:57 AM

Well, since I have a 72, I guess it's for sale. I have no idea what this is worth. I do know it's in great shape and is NOS. Been thinkin for 10 minutes about a price and no luck, so it's free. Hey wannabeburbowner if you want it send me your address and I send it to ya.

72 Cheyenne K20 · 02-24-2005, 10:15 AM

Hi Joe, if wannabeburbowner doesn't want it , it's yours.

Scott

wannabeburbowner · 02-24-2005, 10:45 AM

Scott,

PM was sent. Are you sure you don't want anything for it?? I'll donate some money to the site since it's free!! Thanks Man.

Travis

Jason915 · 02-24-2005, 12:40 PM

My 71 K1500 stepside also had that sticker on the tailgate

wannabeburbowner · 02-24-2005, 01:42 PM

I would like to see as many pictures as possible. Did all 71's get them, or only a certain model got them??

72 Cheyenne K20 · 02-24-2005, 04:16 PM

Hey Travis, I will get the decal in the mail for you in the AM. A donation to the board sound like good idea.

Scott

longhorn71 · 02-24-2005, 11:50 PM

our 71 longhorn truck has that sticker on the tailgate.They were on on the 71 as it was the frist year for disc brakes.to bad i missed this one

wannabeburbowner · 02-25-2005, 04:31 AM

Thanks man. I will make a donation within the next couple of weeks. Funds are low right now...buying a cab Sunday, and there is a swap meet coming up next weekend

Later,

Travis

Ozark Tim · 02-25-2005, 09:52 AM

I came in a little late, but thought I would mention that it is on my 71 Custom 10 lwb fleetside also, and it was built in 7-71 which puts it at the tail end of the model year. I understand it like everyone else has mentioned, it was the first year that GM offered disk brakes as standard equipment on there light duty truck line and used it as a promotion. It also made 71 and 72 trucks easier to differentiate back when they were newer as the 72's didnt get em. Here is a question for you guys though. Did 71 GMC's get em also? I own the 548th 72 GMC built at Janesville, WI in early August 71 and it did not.

67chev · 02-25-2005, 08:47 PM

Just found them in my Chevy Duty....$2.99

**Daubs** · 02-25-2005, 11:24 PM

Seen these dedcals in a number of catalogs. My 71 C20 had this sticker on upper left hand side of the tailgate. No picture, sorry...that was my first vehicle. Sold it in 1989.

Bamm · 02-26-2005, 12:18 AM

Yeah, they are like $3 & change at LMC. I'm sure our board vendors can get anyone that wants one a good deal also.
