rare factory options on a 69? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I see tilt wasnt even an option on my 69, but were tachs available on them? Just trying to figure out what options my CST didnt come with...

My 69 had an aftermarket tach added to it by the previous owner (a big, NASTY looking one too!)

You could get tachs in '69..I'm pretty sure you could order one through out 67-72

Tachs were available, and i think the speedwarning was yet also. May have been the first cruise control also, but not positive. Bucket seats. I don't think the am/fm was in trucks yet. 396. I am sure there is more i will think of...

My 69 has a tach. I took a pic of the glove box but it's kinda hard to see. Mine came with block heater, camp wiring, aux power supply and so on.

The following was taken from the American-Light Duty trucks 3d Edition. I would assume this would include the Blazer, Pick Up, and the Burbs. As has been said before GM was not real good in keeping specific facts back in the 60’s or early 70‘s. I hope this helps.

Nothing about the bucket seat option. There are other options most likely not listed but this should give you an idea to some of the options avaliable. As you can see the creature feature options were not in high demand at this time. But it is with the 67-72 Chevy/GMC trucks that car like options were avaliable and trucks were being considered as an alternative form of transportaion along the the car. Merry Christmas!!
