More wierd (rare) options (pic) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 03-26-2003, 12:22 AM

Any one ever seen "B30" " Floor carpeting" listed on a truck?? I parted this truck about 4 years ago. I have never seen this option on any other truck? This truck would have had a rubber mat as standard. I wounder it you could have Deleted the carpet on a Cheyenne???

**Joesjunk** · 03-26-2003, 12:26 AM

Any one know whats up with the "single speed rear a" on this one?? I didnt get to see this truck, just got the door. Looks like a typical 3/4ton 2wd truck to me??

Longhorn Man · 03-26-2003, 12:35 AM

Teh carpet one, would that be just getting carpeting in a truck without the CST package?

**Joesjunk** · 03-26-2003, 12:38 AM

Ya, Andy. It was not a CST. Just have never seen that before??

Chevy Wrench · 03-26-2003, 12:38 AM

Single Speed Rear A
I beleive it is a single speed axle. Some of the heavy duty trucks came with a 2 speed rear end. Somebody correct me if Im wrong.

Longhorn Man · 03-26-2003, 12:40 AM

Joe, i have seen int, only once though.
As for the axle, it does seem to describe a normal axle...but I don't see why it would list it as an option on a 3/4 ton truck. The 2 speed axle didn't even come into play untill 1 1/2 ton if memory serves....

**Joesjunk** · 03-26-2003, 12:41 AM

Chevy Wrench you are correct, but this was just a 3/4ton pickup truck?? Wierd?? I wish I could have seen this truck

ZOOMY · 03-27-2003, 03:17 AM

Many years ago, Columbia built a 2 speed for cars & trucks, but I don't think Chevy ever offered it as an option....Zoomy

1969 GMC · 03-27-2003, 03:41 AM

Don't hold me to this, but I think the Eaton axles were available in 2-speed versions, but I still cannot offer an explanation for it being listed on the glovebox sticker.

*Gee_Emm* · 03-27-2003, 10:16 AM

What did that paint stripe look like, factory paint stripe, hmmm

**Joesjunk** · 03-27-2003, 10:51 AM

Here is a factory paint stripe.

1969 GMC · 03-27-2003, 11:08 AM

My GMC has the paint stripe too, but unfortunately it was crappily repainted somewhere along the line...but wouldn't it be hard to see the contrast between yellow paint and a white stripe... maybe some were dark?

**Joesjunk** · 03-27-2003, 02:03 PM

There were two colors of paint stripes, Black or white.

Jason71k10 · 03-27-2003, 07:34 PM

joesjunk, Where is the paint stripe on that green truck?? Is it that very faint line where the belt trim would be??? It's hard to tell from the pic?

My glove box says mine had a paint stripe too....i just assumed it meant the the white below the side moulding. Is it like a pin stripe or something?

jason

Jason71k10 · 03-27-2003, 07:38 PM

oh $hit !! is that strip of colour that looks like moulding the stripe???
My bad, I just assumed that was chrome moulding

Jason

*Gee_Emm* · 03-27-2003, 07:53 PM

Hmm, seems like a pretty crappy option :p

**Joesjunk** · 03-27-2003, 11:08 PM

Yep, The paint stripe was where the belt moulding would be. It was just a double line pin stripe ( painted on ).

Jason71k10 · 03-27-2003, 11:15 PM

ohhhhh, so I was right the first time!

Looks kinda cool, I think. I don't think i'll put it back on when i restore mine though......would probably be a pain in the a$$ to paint it on

Jason

Hooter · 03-27-2003, 11:24 PM

anyone figure out what manditory Canadian base equipment is yet?

toms68cst · 03-28-2003, 12:17 AM

Mine looks like it was painted on a Monday morning by someone with a bad hangover. It's pretty crooked along the bed. I don't think it's all that rare an option.

*Gee_Emm* · 03-28-2003, 10:28 AM

I think the canadian package includes a block heater, and maybe maybe some other stuff???????

*Gee_Emm* · 03-28-2003, 10:30 AM

Hey Hooter how is your truck badged? Does it have the CST in the regular spot then Custom Camper under the windows?
