No idea on numbers, GM evidently didn't keep the best of records, but is looks like it's gonna be a sweet truck when you're done.

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi.

What Krue said. Records were not that great in the earlier days, especially with all the combos are trucks can come with. Welcome again from south Mississippi. You're going to have a real nice ride when you are finished.

Seriously man, where did you find that gem?

These guy are mostly from the US, so these CSTs are a whole lot more common. Up here a 67-72 in itself is pretty uncommon :P Most of the time they are base model, and totally beat up / rusted away. Yours looks to be in awesome shape, and the fully loaded option sheet helps with all that

Plus, its a GMC (from what I can see) making it 10x more rare in my books
