what does the corvette option consist of?
I seen on here that there was a corvette option in 72, this is the first time I even heard or it. What all does it consist of, was it long beds only? Which 350 did they put in it? Anybody have any pics? If this is the case then then you can truly say that there was a 72 muscle truck.

Re: what does the corvette option consist of?
The corvette option was a 454 actually!!! It was pushing 560hp and 580ftlbs of torque at the rear wheels!!! The were long beds cause it was too much motor for a short bed and it had corvette rally wheels!!
![]() Dude Im just yankin your chain!! There was no such option its just an expression for an option someone made up more or less. Hope this helps.

Re: what does the corvette option consist of?
There have been a couple people on craigslist and such claim there truck had some kind of corvette option, which there is no proof or evidence to support, so it's become a "running joke" around here

Re: what does the corvette option consist of?
Actually it was a 427 BBC with a M21 4 Speed tranny. Long beds only because of all the torque, it would cause short bed models to spin out when you nailed the gas. Bucket seats only. Also manual brakes and steering, since this was more of a road racer then an actual hauling pick up.

Re: what does the corvette option consist of?
My misunderstanding, I read a thread on here about a someone trying to pass off a short bed with 8 lugs as a corvette option , and it seemed to me eveyone was disquising it as if it was a true option on a long bed. It didn't seem to make sense being that you couldn't even get a 454 in your truck that year.

Re: what does the corvette option consist of?
My bad, I meant the corvette option remark as a joke on the C20 short step thread.
No Corvette option on trucks...... well until next week on eBay!

Re: what does the corvette option consist of?
I do see a lot of the very rare three door suburban that very few were made. ANd from what I see listed on Ebay and Craigslist even less are around today.
Now don't get me started on the factory big block crew cab short beds that GM made but none seem to have survived. |

Re: what does the corvette option consist of?
i think the corvette option thing stems from the fact that everyone and their brother claims that a truck (or whatever) has a 350 "from a corvette." just inbred retardedness for ya.

Re: what does the corvette option consist of?
Wrong. It was a very rare option only available on the '72 1/2 long wheel base Cheyenne Super Sport. I know where there's two. One has the extremely rare heated steering wheel wheel option with only .2 original miles showing on the odometer. It's going on e-bay with a "BUY IT NOW" price of $975,000.

Re: what does the corvette option consist of?
I was always told that the ram-horn exhaust mainfolds on my truck were the same as a corvette....I always believed it.
