Re: SPIDS:Many options w/o being loaded

i'd still like to see an original BB/3-on-the-tree truck. the 427 v8 on that medium duty's spid is the tall deck gasoline V8. I'm fairly sure there is no such thing as a 427 diesel, or at least it wasn't referred to as such.

Re: SPIDS:Many options w/o being loaded
The 427 trucks I saw all had cable driven tachs in them, except for the one I bought. I was wondering about the diesel too but it was so long ago I may have missed it. I know when I talked to my dad he said it wasn't the same as what was in the cars and it wasn't worth getting back then. That was probably a mistake, you think!

Re: SPIDS:Many options w/o being loaded
I had one of two identicle red with white top`68 CST shortbeds two brothers ordered.They had 396/3spd,tach,posi,and no power steering or power brakes...definately no air.If they were cars I`d say they were ordered to drag race.
So,Andy,you got your answer to varying option codes in the other thread.Different plants,huh?I never knew that.I just knew that the codes are all 3 digit at the dealer end.For years I didn`t pay attention to stuff like this. How about this one another member posted from his`68? ![]()

Re: SPIDS:Many options w/o being loaded
Yea it answered a lot with the plant being the missing link. Aren't we a weird bunch?

Re: SPIDS:Many options w/o being loaded
How's about it! It looks like it has some options but you can't read it.

Re: SPIDS:Many options w/o being loaded
I collect them, all that I can find. I think they are pretty neat. I have 3 from 1966, I have 35 from 1967, 38 from 1968, 46 from 1969, 53 from 1970, 73 from 1971, 211 from 1972 and 61 in a folder that are GMC's from any year. There is no better source of option documentation in my opinion.
Here's a nice one from 67, a GMC, (some did have them). I have kind of learned to never say "they never" or "they always" when speaking of SPIDS. ![]() Jeff

Re: SPIDS:Many options w/o being loaded
I was noticing a few SPIDS actually indicated a chrome step bumper. My Dad is well over 75 he said every truck at the dealership ('69) didn't have a bumper on them. And they wanted $19 to install one. $20 for the (step) bumper kit. He installed his own because he thought it was too expensive.

Re: SPIDS:Many options w/o being loaded
I`ve only seen "chrome bumper" listed.That was the sport bumper.I believe you had to order a rear bumper.Sometime around`73 my state started inspections on trucks.They used to be able to come through w.no bumper.
