Re: 69 Chevy
You also have a 67 gmc front clip. Are you going back to a chevy clip?

Re: 69 Chevy
I will more than likely keep the same front clip unless there is a need to change it.

Re: 69 Chevy
that thing has had more parts swapping that you think... it's on a 1/2 ton chassis/suspention, and a short wheel base, not offered in 3/4 ton.
The base tranny was a 3 speed manual. |

Re: 69 Chevy
Thanks i really appreciate all the information. i was hoping to have an original 67-72 truck but this one will have to do. Im just happy it has parts from the 67-72 and not any new model year parts. Is the 3 speed manual the tranny they refer to as Rock Crusher?
Again thanks for all the information its very helpful. |

Re: 69 Chevy
there's no telling what frame is under there. All we see is a 67 GMC front clip (fenders hood grill) on a whatever year cab (we'll assume it matches the VIN?) with a 68 - 72 short step bed
