NICE!!!!!
very nice.....

Pick · 08-29-2011, 04:05 PM

You asked for short options lists........and, well, it is short!

I've had it since March and really haven't "improved" on the installed options list any. It does have a radio in it now to fill the gaping hole cut by the PO, and I've done little things like rebuild the mono-jet carb. and other general maintenance stuff to keep it running and driving........at least for now.

Here's the post after I brought her home.

Steve Hafner · 08-30-2011, 12:21 PM

Not mine, but you can't get much shorter then - N O N E !!!

. . . . . . .

Mt Man Chad · 08-30-2011, 03:36 PM

Like that one Steve... A Non option rig!

67CC · 08-30-2011, 09:36 PM

I love those! And I thought mine was short. Never heard of a no-option vehicle.

Longhorn Man · 09-01-2011, 10:08 PM

actually, they have optional colors listed. There were base colors, I think it was fawn inside and out?

71swb4x4 · 09-01-2011, 10:11 PM

Not much here.

oldblue1968chevy · 09-02-2011, 12:16 AM

mine had oil bath air cleaner but XXXXX from factory??

Mines pretty low

heeroyue2002 · 09-02-2011, 01:55 AM

the super looks like someone cut the tilt part and tried to paste it on there.

prostreetC-10 · 09-02-2011, 02:06 AM

Look closely....mine was so stripped that it only came with a saddle!

I always thought that WHITE with black interior would have been the "base" colors.
Does anyone have an original SPID without any colors listed - if so, what color was it originally ?
. . .

**special-K** · 09-02-2011, 06:39 AM

All trucks came with paint. Paint is not an option,it's a choice. There is no base color. Paint color is always listed on the SPID. All options cost extra,either by themselves or as part of an optional trim level. No charge for solid paint. A truck with only paint and interior color listed is a no option truck.

Mine doesn't have paint listed! But then again, my spid doesn't look like anyones here.

**special-K** · 09-02-2011, 08:41 AM

That is basically a COPO truck,which could carry many exceptions. The military,large fleets,and municipalities ordered trucks in colors not offered anyone else. A COPO vehicle is an option in itself,even if it comes in primer.

68Stepbed · 09-02-2011, 08:51 AM

My 68 was black with a white top and red interior. It also had the painted sort bumper option. I never took a pic of my SPID sheet, but it looked like Pick's exept with the white top option and color divider.

Longhorn Man · 09-02-2011, 08:55 AM

I have GMC dealer paperwork... I think it is '68, it states that color is an option, and if no color is opted, it comes in xxxxxx color. (like I said, I think it is fawn).
While pigment was a no cost option, it was still an option. You had to specify that you wanted it to be red (or whatever) in order to get it, otherwise, it came in the base color.

**jlmerie** · 09-02-2011, 09:15 AM

I don't have a picture of the spid, but I used to have a 1967 truck that had only paint color and interior color listed. In addition, it was both radio and heater delete. I always thought it was about as bare bones a truck as you could order.

Yep, this one was ordered for the Air Force. Interesting, when I took the bed off the other day, it has something written on the front of the front bed panel. I'll have to look when I get home but is says blue and has a group of numbers, like 4478 or something like that.

Sorry for the hijack!

SacramentoJoe · 09-02-2011, 02:15 PM

My SPID is long gone, but the only thing it came with was a heater.

So then is "saddle" the actual color of my truck? I've never been able to answer that question when asked.

Saddle is the color of mine, even though everybody calls it gold.

PanelDeland · 09-02-2011, 10:42 PM

Mine has heavy duty brakes,IIRC heavy duty cooling(just 2 row rad with a 250) and color options.I don't remember if the seat is listed as an option though all Panels were considered equiped with an optional Passenger seat if they had one.I've never seen one without though.
