50th Anniversary Owners - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

stllookn · 04-15-2007, 01:00 PM

I'm now confused. I was just cleaning the big block Longhorn yesterday, getting ready for paint. I found the original sun visors and they are ivory! Both of my other ORIGINAL 50th trucks have gold sun visors...what gives? What color are your visors? Did they switch off.

I have never seen a complete description of the 50th Anniversary package and have lots of literature including the 1968 GM restoration guide that also fails to mention it. Anyone have some better info on this package? I even have the GM sales promotion and 35 mm movie presentation on how to sell it, but nothing about exactly what it included.

does it have a real low production number maybe?

CG · 04-15-2007, 03:15 PM

I have the gold visors for mine.

AkC10 · 04-15-2007, 03:28 PM

Mine also has the gold

Hutch · 04-15-2007, 05:49 PM

Mine are Gold

BarryB · 04-15-2007, 10:42 PM

Mine are gold also.

pritch · 04-15-2007, 10:55 PM

The 'Burb I parted had gold.

OregonC20 · 04-15-2007, 10:59 PM

Gold too!

stllookn · 04-15-2007, 11:46 PM

Hmmmmmmm....Andy...my production number is 61238 from Fremont. I believe that it was bracketed by another 50th on here and my other Longhorn. I am now wondering if they might have been replaced but the truck is spotless and almost no rust (CA truck). The mounts are gold. No big deal...just curious.

cstm68 · 04-15-2007, 11:54 PM

my production number is 152296 from Fremont and mine were white when i got the truck

72armyswbtruck · 04-15-2007, 11:56 PM

mine were gold

longhorn71 · 04-16-2007, 12:05 AM

Just a thought.................could the visors be bleached from the sun and they have faded white?

not mine. they were ivory (and smoke stained from the original owner)

stllookn · 04-16-2007, 12:43 AM

No chance on fading. That vinyl is white or gold all the way through. Interesting...two sets of whites. cstm68, Were your brackets gold?

cstm68 · 04-16-2007, 12:51 AM

i think so
but im not shure they have been put away for awhile

GREASEMONKEY72 · 04-16-2007, 04:48 AM

i love gooooold

sorry

*project 67 sub* · 04-24-2007, 11:04 PM

did they make a 67 suburban. if so, it just because I was wondering. because the original color of mine was a goldish color with a white top.

Longhorn Man · 04-25-2007, 12:07 AM

they made plenty of 67 suburbans.

But not 50th annv models... nut untill 68.
