See lots of post with fully loaded trucks.
What the shortest option listed trucks out there?
This is from my 71 SWB.

NICE!!!!!
very nice.....

Pick · 08-29-2011, 04:05 PM

You asked for short options lists........and, well, it is short!

I've had it since March and really haven't "improved" on the installed options list any. It does have a radio in it now to fill the gaping hole cut by the PO, and I've done little things like rebuild the mono-jet carb. and other general maintenance stuff to keep it running and driving........at least for now.

Here's the post after I brought her home.

Steve Hafner · 08-30-2011, 12:21 PM

. . . . . . .

Mt Man Chad · 08-30-2011, 03:36 PM

Like that one Steve... A Non option rig!

67CC · 08-30-2011, 09:36 PM

I love those! And I thought mine was short. Never heard of a no-option vehicle.

Longhorn Man · 09-01-2011, 10:08 PM

actually, they have optional colors listed. There were base colors, I think it was fawn inside and out?

I always thought that WHITE with black interior would have been the "base" colors.
Does anyone have an original SPID without any colors listed - if so, what color was it originally ?

71swb4x4 · 09-01-2011, 10:11 PM

Not much here.

oldblue1968chevy · 09-02-2011, 12:16 AM

mine had oil bath air cleaner but XXXXX from factory??

Mines pretty low

heeroyue2002 · 09-02-2011, 01:55 AM

the super looks like someone cut the tilt part and tried to paste it on there.

prostreetC-10 · 09-02-2011, 02:06 AM

Look closely....mine was so stripped that it only came with a saddle!

So then is "saddle" the actual color of my truck? I've never been able to answer that question when asked.

Saddle is the color of mine, even though everybody calls it gold.

I have that 250 6 banger I bought from you out of that rig.
Running like a smooth clock.

**special-K** · 09-02-2011, 06:39 AM

All trucks came with paint. Paint is not an option,it's a choice. There is no base color. Paint color is always listed on the SPID. All options cost extra,either by themselves or as part of an optional trim level. No charge for solid paint. A truck with only paint and interior color listed is a no option truck.

Mine doesn't have paint listed! But then again, my spid doesn't look like anyones here.

With all of the data on this SPID, I'm with Special-K about it being a COPO vehicle. My bet is that it was either USAF or USN, with the blue vinyl being listed. I didn't notice a paint color. Here's a "truck" that I drove in VietNam. I wish I could see the ID tag on the cowl. I just didn't have the presence of mind to take a pic of it, too.

mgkgmc · 07-12-2013, 09:47 AM

My Gmc stepside is pretty plain jane when it comes to options as you can see.

cheyenne shortstep · 07-12-2013, 11:34 AM

Here's mine, pretty sparse for a Cheyenne, stepside no less
Special K, I have seen quite a few 67's with blue interior paint, mostly on white trucks.

**special-K** · 09-02-2011, 08:41 AM

That is basically a COPO truck,which could carry many exceptions. The military,large fleets,and municipalities ordered trucks in colors not offered anyone else. A COPO vehicle is an option in itself,even if it comes in primer.

Yep, this one was ordered for the Air Force. Interesting, when I took the bed off the other day, it has something written on the front of the front bed panel. I'll have to look when I get home but is says blue and has a group of numbers, like 4478 or something like that.

Sorry for the hijack!

68Stepbed · 09-02-2011, 08:51 AM

My 68 was black with a white top and red interior. It also had the painted sort bumper option. I never took a pic of my SPID sheet, but it looked like Pick's exept with the white top option and color divider.
