67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's! - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This front end design was used up to the late 70's on school bus chassis.Makes you kind of wonder why GM used such short design cycles.Shoud have kept the 67 thru 72 pickup design up to 78. In 79, they should have released the 73 design up around 1990.

Heres some of an Old School Mud-Monster Truck, Cyclops;

The Truck still exhists today, tho the body and frame have been seperated, the current owner of the frame is planning a complete restoration using a comparable body, if he cannot talk the previous owner out of the body, the body is sitting on a 3/4 Frame, just looks weird now.

thanks to Jim Mace for the Photos.

agreed, but, the guy that had it previously apparently isnt all there, and did that, and kept the body. the current owner of the Frame is out in California and plans on doing a full restoration to how it looked back in the day.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-20-2009, 11:29 AM

Some very cool pics here....

**StingRay** · 11-20-2009, 11:46 AM

The yellow Tonka is really neat but with that wheel base and that suspension it would have to be a back breaker to ride in.

There could of been many factors. One would guess the sheet metal dies were starting to wear out.

What front axle indeed? Also what transfer cases?

Inquiring minds want to know...

WOW ...Great thread thirdstreettito ... great pics of trucks you don't see eveyday.

*vegaschevy* · 11-20-2009, 01:39 PM

I think It would be awesome to have an old big truck. THere is a 67-72 maroon one thats not a HD truck in someones Avatar that I really like as well.

nyncompute · 11-20-2009, 02:05 PM

Nice stuff . Love the big 4x4's

69GMCLonghorn · 11-20-2009, 04:31 PM

The trucks look really cool, but what I like most about the bigger trucks were those LOOOONG stroke V-8's they had in them. I'm sure they had more torque than the earlier diesels did!

I was out in Bullhead City, AZ one time and watched a guy in an early 60's tandem axle dump truck loaded to the moon, go up a hill in second gear, wide open, 10 MPH... slower, slower... then pretty soon grabbing the granny gear and crawling up this road at a whopping 5 MPH. Not impressive, but it sure did sound good!

shaneschevys · 11-20-2009, 06:42 PM

I know its not a 67-72. But heres my 63 C-60. The 2nd pic we are about to tow it home.

Where do you find parts for these bad boys(brake & suspension parts)

Shane, you can get most brake stuff at Ogburn truck parts in Ft Worth. Surprisingly, very cheap usually. For suspension, Ft Worth Champion Spring on Henderson.

Towstrap · 12-08-2009, 10:50 PM

heres mine still under construction

nickp51chevy · 12-08-2009, 11:50 PM

I'm not sure of the year but it's the command post for my step dad's police department, they still use it.

Rokcrln · 12-09-2009, 12:33 AM

Man I really need to figure out a way to build one of these some day soon. By figure out I mean I need to finish my Tahoe, my sons F-1 and my next company show truck then it is wide open. Here is the vision (photoshop) I would be going for.
