71 C-20 Factory 427 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cdowns · 09-18-2003, 02:03 PM

on my most recent road trip i went to the Talledaga Speedway Museaum was just awesome and on display thev've got a 71 C-20 427 that was used at the speedway, pretty cool restored truck also when i was there yesterday Dale Jr. and MIcheal Waltrip and a few others were testing if you're ever aroung go to the museaum it's worth the time

dubie · 09-18-2003, 02:05 PM

That is WAY to cool. I would love to see a pic of that engine!!

Hooter · 09-18-2003, 03:33 PM

not just the engine I wonder what the options sticker has to say about it

**CPNE** · 09-18-2003, 03:43 PM

Ochre too.

Did you know that in 71, the Chevy dealer sales brochures used an Ochre and white truck on the cover? I'd bet that on a percentage basis more Ochre trucks were sold in 71 than any.

1969 GMC · 09-18-2003, 04:11 PM

that truck is nice, but the 427 can't be factory, can it?

dubie · 09-18-2003, 04:18 PM

I imagine if you had the cash, you could add damn near any option you wanted

**StingRay** · 09-18-2003, 04:51 PM

Probably a COPO truck. When you're NASCAR you can probably order anything you want

da-burb · 09-18-2003, 05:06 PM

I agree StigRay. They could get anything they wanted in or out of the GM goodies book. And to think they chose OCHRE for the paint.

lukecp · 09-18-2003, 05:54 PM

Sweet! Ochre kicks a$$....I like they way it looks...even the air dam

cdowns · 09-18-2003, 07:16 PM

the airdam and grill were dealer installed

dinnut · 09-18-2003, 07:18 PM

thats cool

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-18-2003, 07:50 PM

I wonder how fast that thing would go ??? Sure would be cool to replicate it and use it on the street.

oldyeller · 09-18-2003, 08:41 PM

does anyone here have that air dam installed on their truck? I'm curious as to what it is made of..

lukecp · 09-18-2003, 09:02 PM

I second replicating.....maybe my ochre '72 would make a good cantidate. I will be taking donations

bigblock73 · 09-18-2003, 09:19 PM

Wow...awesome looking truck!

I know it isn't a 67-72, but do you have any pics or info on the red 73-87 directly in front of it?

I wonder if the placement of the trucks indicated which one is faster..the 73-87 IS ahead of it...

j/k

xenocide · 09-18-2003, 09:31 PM

Does anyone make an aftermarket air dam for our trucks? I'd love to have one!

The 71 is behind the red one because it is pushing it :p

Gene · 09-19-2003, 02:14 AM

Am I the only one that noticed that its a C/20 with only 5 lugs

dinnut · 09-19-2003, 04:42 PM

i didnt notice that

cdowns · 09-19-2003, 04:50 PM

i didn't notice that either, as far as that front spoiler goes to me it looks like a rear spoiler for a 69 comaro thats been streched to fit

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-19-2003, 06:35 PM

I think that BIG-O had one of those on one of his trucks'?????

stepn67 · 09-19-2003, 06:44 PM

Hey, are those air intake holes in the bumper for cooling the disk brakes?
