427 BBC in one of our trucks... Factory as an option????, I just got the restoration packet and it was talking about a 427 BBC, it looks like they detuned it a hell of a lot, it says only 225 net horses, and only 365 net torque check it out.....

tall deck truck engine

CHEVY & GMC FOREVER · 03-11-2005, 06:34 PM

ohhhhhhhhh, cause that seems a little big for one of our regular light weight trucks, the most I heard was a 396 as the biggest in our trucks......

**JIMs70GMC** · 03-11-2005, 07:01 PM

Yea they had 350, 366 and 427 tall deck, medium and heavy duty truck engines.

untill 70 when it bacme a 402.
There is a truck at some nascar place and it has 427 badges...I highly doubt it is original, but there is a chance that the COPO made a hand full of 427 powered truck.
None have been documented that we know of however.

CHEVY & GMC FOREVER · 03-11-2005, 09:13 PM

Your right I forgot about that 402.....

cdowns · 03-11-2005, 09:23 PM

in the talledaga museaum they have a 427COPO truck on display and if you go to thier library and she's not too busy she'll show you the original paperwork on the fleet ,i believe it was 10 that they got in 71

Longhorn Man · 03-11-2005, 09:53 PM

that's the one I was talkin bout....never heard about any papers for it.
cool

cdowns · 03-12-2005, 12:20 AM

and you can see the emblems under the marker lights

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 03-12-2005, 10:20 AM

The 366's and 427's in the big trucks also had the over run governer mounted under the carb, maybe that's why it doesn't have a lot of HP and torque.

67ChevyRedneck · 03-12-2005, 11:02 AM

awww man! I'd bet that truck doesn't have more than a few hundred miles on it...was it a pace truck for a race??? I'd LOVE to get my hands on that baby. Funny, but I actually like that spoiler and the tube grill....might have to be careful driving it when it rains though....

68gmcdually · 03-12-2005, 11:19 AM

The C-60 that I just bought has the 427 emblems on the side of the hood. I didn't realize that they put out such little power though.
