1968 Chevy Thamper(?) Log Book - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mr.FourEyes · 08-20-2016, 08:21 PM

Hey guys went to a car show in Wabash, Indiana today and saw a 1968 Chevy K10, as well as, 1972 Chevy K20 and 1971 Chevy C10. But that is irrelevant, he had a 1968 Pick-Up truck brochure and 1968 4x4 brochure. The think that I can't figure out his another book he had, I believe it had a 1968 Chevy Thamper, I believe that is what it was called, Log Book. It showed fleet trucks, not just fleet sides but trucks such as Coca Cola or other work trucks, my question is has anybody seen one, and what were they for? By the way the guy said it was the only one he had seen, I have never heard of it.
Sorry for the long post and thank you for any answer.

Like a dummy I did not take pics, all I know is that he restored the truck on here about ten years ago, and he doesn't do much with it because life got in the way.

Hmmm, Job TAMER was used in quite a lot of their 68 advertising. Never heard of a Thamper.

Yes, it was a Job Tamer, although it was not a regular brochure, it was it's own brochure, it was similar to the ad posted earlier although it was for trucks not a van.

I saw, similar to posted in a link somewhere above by jdw, it was black and white with a fleetside bed on it, the brochure was tri-fold with fleetside and step side trucks shown. By Coke truck I meant a fleet truck order in mass quantity for commercial use, but now that I researched a little bit, it seems like it was just a selling point. I thought it was for companies such as telephone, Coke or something similar. I was wrong about that it was just a selling point that could be bought for commercial and public use.

Sorry for the long reply.
