**RenoKeene** · 12-20-2010, 09:49 AM

Here's mine...going to be tough to beat!

GCncsuHD · 12-20-2010, 09:55 AM

Mine is identical to yours, except change all colors to green. I don't have a picture of it though.

19seventeeCustom · 12-20-2010, 11:09 AM

Haha that is one low optioned truck!! who cares though, im sure it's still too cool.

Thats about the least optioned I have seen, but then again I havn't seen em all.

oldblue1968chevy · 12-20-2010, 11:24 AM

chopnchaneled · 12-20-2010, 11:59 AM

The same as mine except color. mines silver

sdailey · 12-20-2010, 12:29 PM

To the OP, this one could be the twin to your truck. This was from a parts truck that I looked at a while back.

sameyrasmea72 · 12-20-2010, 12:52 PM

When you think about all SPIDS should have at least 3 listed. The model #, the paint cloor, and the interior color aren't really options but more like descriptions, so, those listed below really have only one option. The winner should be someone with "O" options listed with only the 3 descriptions listed.

Rich916 · 12-20-2010, 01:21 PM

Mine would be called a "Base Model"

If this was built in Atlanta they were 1100 apart

Vintage Windmills · 12-20-2010, 01:52 PM

Whats the standard bumper if painted is an option?

It seems this thread is mostly SWB trucks. I'd have figured more longboxes would be base models bought just to use on the farm. Maybe the LWB base models were more plentiful at one time but more of the SWB's were saved by collectors.

If you think about it, this all makes sense. Back when these trucks were new, people bought them because they needed a truck. Short wheel base trucks aren't really good for anything but looks - and the current market proves it. VERY few people on this forum still use their trucks for what the general intended them to be used for.

People who shorten long wheel base trucks or people who search high and low for a nice, unmolested SWB truck don't want a truck. They want a cool looking muscle car that costs less than a muscle car from this era. The GM marketing guys who sold these things new are probably spinning over in their graves when they find out what folks today are paying for a useless (SWB) pickup today.

mrein3-Your exactly correct....Thats why I'm building a 70 GMC shortbed stepside.....402/TH400, a/c, tilt, tach, buckets etc. to replicate a factory Hot Rod Pickup.

Yeah, but think how giddy they were 35-40 years ago when hundreds of thousands of people bought their worthless short bed pickups. I wonder why people even bought them if they could not be used to haul something.

The next time I need to move a bed or couch or some heavy furniture I guess I will have to borrow someone’s LWB truck and just use my SWB trucks for drag racing.

I disagree. I think it's a regional thing.

Where I come from (Southeast Missouri/Northern Arkansas) people bought short wheel base pickups for farming, primarily for pulling trailers (cotton trailers).

The eight or ten shortbox pickups me and my family have owned through the years are a holdover of that pattern. My 87 is still in use today, pulling trailers and doing whatever I ask it to do.

I would never characterize it as "useless"; more like an extension of my right arm!

All the GM Truck Marketing guys I know are laughing all the way to the bank.

I have a 68 GMC 1500, it was given to me by the original owners daughter who inherited it when he died, only has 66k on it. When I went to look at the SPID I was shocked to see that there was no one on the back of the glove box door ? I did find the build sheet under the seat. M17 3-speed fully synchronized. R51 WSW Tires, Two-Tone Paint.

For whatever reason, i have seen quite a few base model gmc trucks from 67 and 68 that never had a spid.

Vintage Windmills · 12-20-2010, 04:53 PM

They'd sell a truck without a bumper? Oh, maybe they figured you'd put your own step or heavy duty one on. That'd never fly with the regulations these days. You can't even legally drive a vehicle any distance in MN without a bumper.

bfay17 · 12-20-2010, 04:59 PM

Ill post mine up tomorrow but i believe it only has 1 option.

Most that were ordered without a bumper, got a dealer installed bumper, usually with the dealers name on it. .At least that's the way it was in Texas.
