Your Ideal 67-72 Truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

earlthegoat2 · 01-06-2012, 10:43 PM

My other thread about the trucks members here would not consider buying got me thinking about the other side of the coin a bit. What would be your IDEAL 67-72 truck. I would like to say as they came from the factory but that is not everyone's thing so if you have some crazy mods or builds you like then have at it. I like factory (or close to) trucks.

Mine would be this.

1968
SWB
Fleetside
1/2 ton
SM465 transmission
327 engine
3.73 rear

Maybe some other stuff like HD suspension and cooling.

oldblue1968chevy · 01-06-2012, 11:00 PM

4.10s lockers front and rear

Zoomin · 01-06-2012, 11:33 PM

Oh, it would involve taking my 71 swb C-10 Custom and merging it with a a ZR1 - the ZR-10.

638 hp, ceramic brakes, independent suspension, traction control, aluminum frame. Yeah, I would roll that.

I suppose a 69 ZL1 COPO would be nice too.

ItsRandy · 01-07-2012, 02:03 AM

When I get it done, the one I'm building. Except maybe a 572bb instead of the 502bb that is in it.

Shyguy · 01-07-2012, 02:25 AM

Here is a picture of my dream truck, of course it is not mine. I think it was posted by some one on this forum.

Dingfodgy · 01-07-2012, 02:55 AM

The '67 GMC in my garage, except without the rusted out floor, a T56 instead of the busted up SM420, a new LS9 instead of the tired a$$ 283, a set of 20/22 inch Boze rims ridin' on PB components and bags! There's a bunch of other little things too, but their pretty standard goodies.

stealthy '69 · 01-10-2012, 10:06 PM

Easy, It would be either one of lolife99's trucks.

Project no-life.
And his blazer.

I'm in love with everything about his trucks.

**Already Gone** · 01-11-2012, 12:43 AM

Mine is a 72 long or short 4x2 with a 68 front clip, wood floor box, factory A/C factory buckets , with an LS motor and 4L80E trans with 3:42 gears with posi sitting on one of those Hotchkiss $5000 suspension packages. I'd have to think about color , but black is strong contender.

wild4wheels · 01-11-2012, 09:27 AM

Great question, I REALLY want a short bed this time but, with as many people coming to visit us now that we live in Arizona I may need a Burb to pick everyone up at the airport and haul around. Think Delmo would want to build a Burb?

GRX · 01-11-2012, 09:45 AM

Step side Long bed. Perfect for what I need the truck for. And it looks cool too.

96blazr · 01-11-2012, 10:09 AM

My "Ideal 67-72 truck"? The one I've been lucky enough to own for 8 years now: 1968 SWB, 350/350 auto, PS, PB, radio delete and.........well, it's perfect for me. I'm slowly but surely creating what I've always wanted and it's getting there.

LEX · 01-11-2012, 10:16 AM

All of the above.

prostreetC-10 · 01-11-2012, 01:43 PM
