What is your favorite year truck??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

greenbd71 · 12-26-2010, 03:36 PM

What is your favorite year truck? It does not have to be the year you own, but the style and look that is your favorite. If you can post a pick off the web or of your own that supports your answer. All trucks are awesome but looking for the best of the best in your opinion. I have a 72 and owned a 74...I really like both of these years.

treveiger · 12-26-2010, 03:52 PM

I use to only like the 71-72 grill for these trucks and never liked the early 67-70 grills but now that i own a 69 i honestly love the 69 grills

funny how that works. Im not a huge fan of the 67-68 grills but they do look cool, if i had one id keep it stock with just a few things to keep her running and drive as is. My favorite years for these trucks are 69-72 now

. My father owned a 71 cheyenne and my grand father owned a 72 cheyenne so i guess these trucks run in my blood

. There is a early chevys truck(i think the year is 55 but im not sure)that if i ever wanted to do a full of frame restore and not buy one thats already done that would be the truck id want to do.

67/68, here are a couple of examples, but unfortunately not mine.

**special-K** · 12-26-2010, 04:14 PM

1955. They made two

tonypaul · 12-26-2010, 06:40 PM

A '67 small window swb GMC would be my most desired, I settled on a '68 with of course the big window.

I believe the designer nailed it in 1967.

**jerry moss** · 12-26-2010, 08:27 PM

even though i own three 72s my favorite is the 68. my first build on this era trucks was a 69 short step 4x4. when i was finished with it it had a fleetside bed and 68 nose, i still kick my a$$ for selling it. my second was a 72 3/4 ton 4x4 that i kept as a 72. if my current project wasn't a factory cheyenne 3/4 ton that was bought brand new by my now deceased uncle it would get a 68 nose too. that 67-68 nose just looks like it is correct in my opinion. 69-70s are next on my list. i've always thought 71-72 grilles look like the should have eggs in them,lol.

skillet · 12-26-2010, 10:15 PM

I am partial to the '67 swb stepside with the small rear window I used to have. It was my first truck. It had a 283(my favorite v-8) and a simple Rochester 2 barrel manual choke. I had her for 28 yrs. and sold her in '03 when we moved out of state for awhile. I have missed her ever since.

hotrodchevy1999 · 12-26-2010, 10:55 PM

67-68 swb stepside my frist ride was a 67 swb stepside with the small rear window it had a 292 and i put 283 in it and 3 on the tree

stepstep67 · 12-26-2010, 11:23 PM

yup yup 67/68 stepside small window is defently the way to go am lucky to have one

67chevy1series · 12-26-2010, 11:27 PM

67 ,68 ,chevy,gmc, stepside, fleetside ,1/2ton 3/4 ton, or 1 ton i dont discriminate

but this is my favorite and will be making my truck look like this

71meangreenc10 · 12-26-2010, 11:49 PM

69/70 Chevy Grille is my favorite, though my 71 GMC is growing on me...

BIGBLU 72 · 12-27-2010, 12:09 AM

im a 68 chevy fan! my second and third are the GMC grills and the 97/98 chevys

Hoffa · 12-27-2010, 12:28 AM

Man, that is a tough question. That is like saying do you like this supermodel or that supermodel......

I am partial to the 68, since I have had one in my life since I was 2 years old.

However, I think the 67 CST SWB big back window has the smoothest lines.

After adding a 72 to my stable, I have come to appreciate the creature comforts that more of these years offer stock and they don't look bad either.

Not to forget the GMC's, I like the 68 to 70 chrome grille, but staying true to my 68 upbringing I do prefer the slanted 68 hood.

How is that for a political answer?

I guess it is like a wise old man once told me, you pick out HER best attribute and enjoy it. I take the same approach with the other ladies in my life - the 67-72 Chevy/GMC pickups!

Gadoozle · 12-27-2010, 12:41 AM

Sorry all you Chevy fans, but this one is my favorite truck of all time: The 1955 Ford F-100

My first truck was a 1956 Ford 3/4 ton lwb step-side. It was light blue with a white top.

They are pretty hard to find now days.

My fourth truck was a 1965 Chevy swb stepper with a L6 and 3 on the tree, I have been GM every since. I think that was back in 1973. Unfortunately the '65 got totaled in 1976.

dwragon · 12-27-2010, 07:06 PM

a 1975 vega panel express with a cast iron 153, 5 speed, 355 posi, GT package, and no passenger seat.

yes it is classified by GM as a truck.
real truck, 1965 SWB C10 w/ in dash ac, 327, OD, and 411.

big_al_71 · 12-27-2010, 07:13 PM

My personal favorites are 71-72

mcbassin · 12-27-2010, 12:46 AM

1969 or 1970 CST Short bed step or fleetside

jwalk · 12-27-2010, 12:49 AM

67-68 short fleet or step would be my fav, but I like all of them!

70c10-08 · 12-27-2010, 12:57 AM

my favorite of this bodystyle i'm really diggin the 71-72 grille style and i like the 69-70 cuz I have one but my fav chevy/gmc bodystyle of all time would be a tie between the 88-93 chevy/gmc worktrucks and 99-02 chevy/gmc regular and hds

Slick67 · 12-27-2010, 01:21 AM

I am partial to the 67 because of the slope nose, split grille and no side marker lights. The lack of side markers is kind of a statement, "Stick it to da man" since we legally have to have them now.

70LonghornCST · 12-27-2010, 01:17 AM

Man, I want one of each. But I have to say I'm a bit partial to the 1970 inner/outer grille combo.

**70cst** · 12-27-2010, 02:17 AM

This is my favorite...
