Re: Yenko Chevrolet trucks

Wish I had a time machine! Can you imagine going back and standing on that lot in 67 or 68. Man, just to see what those trucks looked like new!

Re: Yenko Chevrolet trucks

Also, there was Nickey and Baldwin Chevy that did the 427 Camaros. Saw an article where Baldwin was making a copo version of the last year for the camaro. A guy here in VA had a 69 red Balwin 427 and he had a red last year of the camaro ordered built by Baldwin so he would have a pair. Going back to the trucks. In 72 my dad wanted a 72 stepside. 402, turbo 400, posi 4:11. No powersteering, no rear bumper, Black mat, and black vinyl seat. poverty hub caps. also what ever was standard for a 1/2 ton he wanted the other coil overs or leafs cannot remember. He went to several dealerships in VA and Maryland most said you can get that truck built. One guy told him no one would want a truck like that but you. Anyway some guy at Pallone Chevrolet in Springfield, VA new how to get it done. He waited a while for it to arrive. When it did all black people went crazy. The dealer wanted to keep it for a week or so to put in the showroom. Not sure if they got anymore. Anyway he took it put full chrome standard wheels. Instead of baby moons it had the small 67 camaro rally dishes. Competion shift kit in the turbo 400. It was just one of those well put together trucks. It was Bada$$. I have missed that truck since the day he sold it
