Found some good GM lit. (hickey, OK) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 04-04-2014, 08:47 PM

Been looking for the hickey one for awhile, but they don't come up often. And no, i didn't steal these items. (paid decent $ on e-bay) Pretty interesting stuff. The hickey brochure will go good with my desert dynamics. Probably not too many "youngsters" will know this stuff.

BLT gmc · 04-04-2014, 09:26 PM

Cool stuff, especially like the 4x4 stuff. Wish I could buy the $17.95 skid plate!

**undertaker72** · 04-04-2014, 09:36 PM

does it have any pics of the hickey winch bumper and the frame brackets

67c10rustbuket · 04-04-2014, 10:22 PM

Cool stuff, I almost laughed out loud at pic three where it says "new aerodynamic cab" talking about the new 73 model.

Locking lug nut with a regular looking key?

**special-K** · 04-05-2014, 07:49 AM

Crimey,I think I've owned about every item on that list at one point along the way. Used to have that catalog,too. I was a mail away for catalog fool! And I did save them,but one thing or another came along and ruined or lost most from that far back. That OK Used Car lit is cool. I need to get me some. That's where it all began for me in '73 when I bought my first '72 at Sport Chevrolet. Like so many,the previous owner had rushed in to trade his "old style" barely used truck for one with the fresh new look. I kid you not when I say that bed didn't have a single scratch in it! $2,800 on the road

Those wheel locks worked as well,if not better,than the locks used today. If you tried to remove w/o unlocking it just spun free and you'd ruin the wheel any way you tried to remove them.

The '73 "cabs" are actually a major aerodynamic improvement over previous designs. They actually were a major change and step into the future (same design,basically,into as far s the '90s). It's all about the windshield and A-pillars. The hood came to the windshield and kicked up,wipers tucked under,windshield laid back and bowed from end to end,no drip rail,and more rounded at the A-pillars blending into the sides.

I tended to buy from Desert Dynamics over Hickey. I tried Googling them up before and I got all these results for current desert racing enterprise. Not sure if they are the same or it's a re-use of the name.

Neat old lit and seems to be in real good condition. Nice find.

jjzepplin · 04-05-2014, 08:28 AM

I have four of those rope hooks right in the middle. I'm rich!

54blackhornet · 04-05-2014, 12:36 PM

I am sure that was a good chunk of money in 72-73...

I knew you would like this stuff tim. Hard to believe these were all throw away items, and now we have to pay good money for them!

BLAZERMAN · 04-05-2014, 06:45 PM

That's some cool stuff! A Hickey catalog like that just sold for 54 bucks on EBAY all by itself.

Actually, it came in the "traction" folder with all the extra paperwork. Did i pay too much?

BLAZERMAN · 04-05-2014, 07:35 PM

So your the one who nabbed it! I didn't even notice the GM lit that went with it till I just went back and looked at the auction. You only got it cause I already had it

, that wasn't a bad deal at all, like you said most of this stuff got thrown away years ago. I have one Hickey catalog that still has the 4 send in cards for free catalogs along with the pull out 11x17 poster of a cut-away blazer showing all their products and added page of the GM recall and explanation for the front drivers side spring hanger plate and backstop.

jjzepplin · 04-05-2014, 08:56 PM

What is that explanation?

Spartan · 04-05-2014, 09:07 PM

I'd like to get my hands on the swing away tire/gi can carrier...
too cool

**special-K** · 04-05-2014, 09:20 PM

I bought a lot from Dick Cepek. I bought a few of those same skid plates and they were just no name from him. Still have one. I still have a catalog and even a t-shirt with the Deal's Wheels Blazer on it. I tore it pretty bad across the shoulders pulling it off last time I wore it. That cotton just doesn't last like it used to. It's only 35 or so years old! Sheesh

farmall · 04-06-2014, 11:09 AM

Please post the entire Hickey catalog. Very cool.

Does anybody have any Dave Deal artwork of Chevys they can post.

**too much stuff** · 04-06-2014, 09:13 PM

A few more pics for your enjoyment...

**too much stuff** · 04-06-2014, 09:28 PM

And a few more... Must be some real pics, the last pic has a 71-72 blazer with a 69-70 hood on it...

**special-K** · 04-06-2014, 10:21 PM

I'm diggin' that Desert Dynamics catalog
