Here is a 68 C20 3/4 ton leaving the factory. It would be nice to see more originals represented at shows today.

I wonder where those two trucks are today.

jsbgump · 05-05-2007, 08:22 PM

Could already be roted away, totaled, or somebody field

19673ontree · 05-05-2007, 08:45 PM

thats the look I am going for with my 67 , white painted bumper's , white grill and headlight ring's , factory hubcap's , can't beat it !!

Ilike 72"s · 05-05-2007, 08:55 PM

heres one. I didn,t have to do too much to restore this one. It's factory stock.

Ilike 72"s · 05-05-2007, 08:57 PM

oops forgot the picture

factorystock · 05-05-2007, 09:18 PM

In 67, the wheels were black (unless it was tutone body) with white hubcaps and in 68 and 69 the wheels were silver with silver hubcaps and in 70-72 the wheels were painted white with white hubcaps.Of course the custom models would have chrome hubcaps through out 67-72.

Man,that`s BS!(Bone Stock)

dave2953 · 05-05-2007, 10:01 PM

I think that truck is awesome. Less can definitely be more!

**special-K** · 05-05-2007, 10:43 PM

That truck looks sharp in Omaha Orange.That second one doesn`t have the headlight bezels in yet.

pritch · 05-05-2007, 10:49 PM

Looks like the build sheet hanging in the window. I wonder when they fold 'em up and stuff 'em into the seat springs?

wibilly · 05-05-2007, 10:57 PM

so they didn't all come with 6 sets of mirror holes in the doors?or do i just have them supper rare doors?

heavy71chevy · 05-05-2007, 11:19 PM

lol hillbilly...did urs come with the extra bondo hidin that rare option? lol im not even sure what mine had from the factory..ive got peices still attached tho lol

**Canadian694x4** · 05-05-2007, 11:26 PM

Sweet Photo

wibilly · 05-06-2007, 12:40 AM

no bondo just the universal miror mount option

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 05-06-2007, 05:31 AM

Sweet, 516 Orange with Fawn nose paint.
My '68 C/10 stepside is [still] that color but with white nose paint, and Fawn interior contrast color.
I used to have that same silver/fawn vinyl bench seat, too. Originally had silver wheels in 17.5" diameter. Mine also has those same white West Coast Jr mirrors. I'd bet that photo was taken at the Fremont Calif. plant.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 05-06-2007, 05:59 AM

i never get tired of seeing these old pictures

i wonder if the engine came pre greasey?

Is it just me or is that Ronald Reagan driving that truck?

Ilike 72"s · 05-06-2007, 02:30 PM

thanks. Drives like a new car. I wanted to put a v-8 in it and lower it. My wife said NO WAY. Only has 40,000 miles on it and has never lived more than 5 miles from the dealer that sold it new.
