67 guru's....step inside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

superchevy · 06-25-2017, 05:20 PM

I just picked up a '67 CST 20 that's been in a leaky shed for the past 30 years. Has buddy buckets and factory tach....neither of which are on the SPID. I thought I read somewhere that all 67 csts came with buddy buckets, so I can see why not on SPID. What about tach though? This thing is dead nuts original and I can't see the old farmer swapping in a tach dash 40 some odd years ago. Thoughts?

Must

have

pictures!

**Grumpy old man** · 06-25-2017, 05:38 PM

it doesn't make any difference , there are no numbers matching trucks so it is what

it is , get a new spid and print it to reflect what the truck has currently .

**chewychevy67** · 06-25-2017, 05:48 PM

Probably added by the dealer when it was new.

**too much stuff** · 06-25-2017, 06:02 PM

Seats were standard, tach was added.

**Canuckvetter** · 06-25-2017, 06:12 PM

^^^^^ I agree.

yea, 30 years in a shed only brings you into the 80's theres 10+ years of life unaccounted for, and during the period when replacement parts from junk yards would have been at its peak...

but like as said above, if its not real then fake it.

and ditto the SPID

Fake it? as in, replace the SPID? I would never replace a factory SPID unless it was damaged or missing. even then I would stay as true to the truck as I could.

If the original SPID is intact, I think that would be worth more (emotionally and monetarily) than a fake reproduction SPID, especially one that misrepresents the original truck.

This reminds me of the whole big block corvette debacle, and how there are more "factory" big block vettes sold at auctions than GM actually produced..... (maybe it was specifically the 63' split windows, I cant recall the specifics...)

I have no problem upgrading my cars with factory features, but I wouldnt ever try to deceive or pass them off as ORIGINAL features to my vehicles...

superchevy · 06-26-2017, 06:53 PM

No reason to fake a SPID...not a believer in that.

But you do believe in selling damaged parts as "NOS" ...right ??

And there are numbers matching trucks* and they are what a true knowledgeable collector seeks. These days with Tom, Dick, Harry, and average Joe all into these trucks that higher level of interest has been diluted and values are the same to them whether it's factory original or a pieced together phony. I'll still pay more and desire them more if authentic originals.

Sounds like a really cool find. I love barns and out buildings

* Meaning highly optioned and still with all it had from factory. It matters to those who know what's what. I've bought more than my share of original highly optioned trucks for being correct originals.

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-26-2017, 11:05 PM

Definitely need some pics. ........please. .......

My thoughts are (and no offense to you) that you shouldn't assume anything based on who the owner was or what you think or don't think they're capable of.

He could have been a farmer who also owned the baddest muscle car on the planet and knew it was critical to keep an eye on RPM's, so he dug one out of a wreck. Could have had a friend who was in an accident or parting out another truck and asked if he'd like to have or buy the tach dash. Maybe he loved that particular truck but it didn't have a tach, so he told the dealer to install it after purchasing the truck. The truth is you won't know unless you find him and he's got a good memory.
