A Guide To 1967-1972 Chevy/GMC Pickups
The 1967-1972 Chevrolet/GMC C/K series of pickups is well on its way to achieving icon status, just as the 1955-1957...

Many of you have read this article but I like to post every few months...soooooooo this is for our newer members who haven't read this.

I am not a NEWB but man I really enjoy reading that article everytime..

I got a kick out of the last paragraph

Quote:

As much as prices for '67-'72 Chevy pickups are rising, there isn't any reason to panic. They made about 3 million of these trucks and lots of them survived. Supplies are ample, so you can take your time to find a good truck at a fair price.

Wonder how many of us wish we had read that, and spent the miniscule amount of money to become a supporter of this site, PRIOR to making our first purchase?

Thanks for posting again, John

That is a great article. As long as you don't have a long stepside!

I was fortunate to be a member of this site before I purchased my loaded BB 70cst. I was actually looking for a 48-55 model when I stumbled upon this truck in Celina Tn. Oh yes...I paid about $2300.

Thanks for the article I can't wait to dig in to my GMC. It has so many issues I don't know where to start. First step; I'm trying to get it to pass inspection! I’m glad to see so much aftermarket/restoration support. It looks like I could practically build one from a catalogue.

You are going the right direction...Safety first with no exceptions.

Hard to believe for me too. After digging around for about one minute, It looks like almost 350,000 were produced for 1967 alone. That doesn't include Burbs, Panels or GMC"s
