73-80 Truck Poll - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**N2TRUX** · 04-16-2011, 11:20 AM

I borrowed this idea from Lakeroadster over in the 60-66 Forum. I thought it would be a fun to see some stats on our members trucks. You may vote as many times as you have trucks.

I would have added more years and options, but the polls are limited to 30 options.

1. What year is your truck?

A. 1973

B. 1974

C. 1975

D. 1976

E. 1977

F. 1978

G. 1979

H-1980

2. What bed style?

A. Fleet side short bed

B. Fleet side long bed

C. Step side short bed

E. Step side long bed

4. What is the theme of your truck?

A. Stock

B. Custom-Mild

C. Custom-Wild

D. Pro-touring

F. Pro-street

G. Race

H. Other?

5. Engine

A. Inline 6

B. V-8 small block

C. V-8 big block

D. Diesel

E. Other?

6. Transmission

A. Automatic, 3-speed

B. Automatic, 4-speed

C. Manual, 3-speed

E. Manual, 4-speed granny

F. Manual, 4-speed

G. Manual, 5 or more speed

Mine is a '73 short stepside, 350 and a turbo 400. It was built as a prerunner 30 years ago. I've finally quit beating the hell out of it though, I'm tired of welding the frame back together.

1974ChevyC10 · 04-16-2011, 12:29 PM

i have 2 of them so ill give you stats on both.

Ol red-1978,fleetside longbed,stock,inline 6,manual 3 speed
Orange Crush-1978,fleetside longbed,stock,V-8 small block,automatic 3 speed

There drivelines will soon be switched unless the guy who is supposed to be helping me with the switch decides for whatever reason to not help me after all then i will sell ol red and buy something with a V-8 and automatic already in it or trade ol red for something with a V-8 and automatic in it as i have left leg issues due to nerve damage and driving a standard day in and day out isnt the easiest thing for me as a result.

big10ratrod77 · 04-16-2011, 12:27 PM
