If...

Pick a year between 1967 and 1972, you've just enlisted in the marines and bolstered by your newfound military career, you walk into a chevy or gmc dealership and order a brand new truck. What year and what options would you order, and why? If you already have your all stock (right down to the air cleaner and hubcaps, no mods) dream truck, then post a pic. I'll go first.

1971 GMC C1500, base model
  • lwb, fleetside
  • trailing arm rear suspension
  • light blue with parchment interior
  • 292 I6 engine
  • turbo 350 trans
  • power steering
  • power brakes
  • posi rear
  • front equalizer bar
  • front tow hooks
  • front and rear chrome bumpers
  • upper and lower side molding
  • tinted windows
  • AM push button radio
  • full gauge cluster with tach and vacuum
  • buddy buckets

I'm a minimalist, so I like a lot of options that make the truck very usable, but no too blingy. Things like tow hooks and posi make the truck workable, but at the same time I like poverty hubcaps for that simple classy look.

I like the look of the 68 chevys the best, but they didn't come with disc brakes, so... it had to be a 71 or 72. I prefer the gmc front end to chevy's eggcrate grill in those years.
