Whats the rarest 67-72 you've seen?
I was looking at some back posts and spotted the 4x4 ambulance that somebody acquired recently.Those have to be pretty rare.So in your opinion what is the rarest you've seen?

I would think any year of 67-72 C30 dually converted to Napco 4x4...would be my guess...

I agree ... one WITHOUT rust would be the rarest find around here.

Probably the second lowest production truck i have seen in person would be chevyfatman's 70 (??) 2 wheel drive Blazer, but my one ton longhorn (1404 built) may be a lower production number vehicle.

Factory is debatable...I say yes though IMO.
This truck was sold liek this through a GM dealer, converted by a GM authorized conversion comapny, much like the 3rd gen camaros were converted to a convertable, or the conversion vans...ect. I'm not sure where you are in Ohio, but this gold one is in West/Central Ohio right now, straight from the desert last year. There were at least 4 styles of streached cabs from the factory...here is the most common found one. notice the rear doors are unmodified front units. There are actually a few board members who own these, and this green one belongs to a member, but I think he is inactive though. |

there are quite a few trucks that have rare options, or rare combinations of options. for example, big block trucks with a 3 on the tree. pretty rare, and rightly so. a while back on eBay I saw a '72 K/20 burb with 350, 4 speed, and dual A/C, kind of a rare setup. also, the 3 speed OD trannies seem to be pretty rare.
I would have to agree with Brian on the Napco conversions...I've only ever seen two, and one of them is owned by board member 60apache4. Oh yeah, can't forget some low production number vehicles...'68 C/30 Longhorns are pretty low, and if they made the GMC version that year...then that would be even rarer. Probably the rarest regular production would have to be a 4 wheel drive panel truck though, you just don't see a whole lot of them running around. Most were probably rode hard and put away wet, which led to an early demise. I don't even think they were made all the way til '72, so that makes the numbers even lower.

I used to see an orange '69-'72 GMC 4-door suburban driving around Tucson. Haven't seen it in a couple of years. Probably an after market conversion thru a GM-authorized dealer like that outfit in Oklahoma.

For me the rarest I have seen is a 68 longhorn in absolutely beautiful condition.
