For you Beau James fans... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Take a look at this beautiful example:

Of course, the main attraction here is the Beau James trim, but even the factory cruise control as it appears on this particular truck is a bit of a novelty, given the 1975 model year. Installation of factory cruise control is relatively rare on 1975 and earlier C/K trucks (but much more common on 1976 and later models).

Anyway, nice truck, I think!

Wow, change the grey to white add some pimpin' hood stripes, and a darker blue, and you've got my truck's paint scheme. I really, really like the two tone blue and white on these trucks... esspecially with the pimpin hood stripes

I've been watching this truck for a while. It's a very nice example and this is the third time it's going through Ebay. The guy listed it twice at $8250 and didn't get any bids. It looks like it might not again.

Looks like a really nice example, mostly original and what looks like a nice repaint.

Of the 5 Beau James trucks I've seen, they all had cruise control.

That is a really neat looking truck, and I noticed that someone has now bid on it.

I can remember seeing those trucks when they were new, and always thought they were cool! I personally prefered the Gentleman Jim paint scheme, though. I would have turned 9 yrs old in August of '75, and the black and gold paint was "neato"!
