Re: Rarest truck
Don't forget the rare 'Corvette 350' option.

Re: Rarest truck
I say a 50th Anniversary Step Side is very rare.

Re: Rarest truck
How about a 50th anniversary 9 foot stepside? CST with buddy buckets too! Someone shortened the bed behind the fenders years ago but it started life as a 9 foot stepper.

Re: Rarest truck
Rare and desirable are two seperatte beasts. My Husky is rare only made at one dealership. Doesn't make it desirable now a yanko is desirable. Truck is placer gold and white . Not a truck color but a car color. Paint codes aren't on my spid, it states zp3 special paint on the build sheet the glove box is original as is the the decal. Got the code from a paint gun at my PPG jobber

[QUOTE=Killer Bee;8685343]cool but not a longhorn as advertised
![]() That's a 255/85/16 with still more than a foot to the cab. Are you sure it's not a Longhorn? ![]()

Re: Rarest truck
[quote=stomper;8688688]I don't think there was a longhorn stepside. It would be an 8 or 9' box.

Re: Rarest truck
I always enjoy this particular discussion. The concept of "low production numbers" really only became a thing when musclecar value exploded in the late 90's, early 2000's. And in these cases, the production numbers discussion got tacked onto a discussion about a vehicle that was already desirable (take your pick, 70 LS6, L78 Novas, etc - all desirable FIRST, then the discussion about how many were made came into the lexicon). Anyway, SOMEwhere along the way, the whole low numbers discussion got applied to anything and everything in an effort to make a low production number vehicle seem desirable. Doesn't work that way in my humble opinion. In other words,even though 68 K20 panels were produced in single digits - they will never be as desirable (on average, to the masses I mean) as a loaded 72 C10 swb Cheyenne Super with a 402. Like these trucks, it still comes down to one's personal definition of rare, but to me, a cab/chassis combo or 9' C30 stepper, etc that was purpose built for a task in low numbers does not equate to rare. To me, the term rare implies first being desirable to more than a handful of people, then low production numbers on top of that fact. Rarity can also come with time - I'm having a more and more difficult time finding a nice 37 chevy coupe these days, but that doesn't mean anyone else wants one - just means there aren't many left. So it's rare, as in hard for me to find one, but maybe not rare as in people are gonna bid to the moon on it when it rolls across the block at BJ. Anyway, that's my 2 cents on it - and no offense to ANYone that loves their 68 Longhorn, even if for no other reason than it IS a low production number truck - I'd love to have one too! Especially if it also happened to be a Custom Camper

Re: Rarest truck
Less desirable, my flaming hemorrhoids. I'd love to have a truck like that (minimal rust, just so we don't have a sale offer!). I'd even tolerate the "Icky Ochre" as as I used to call it, back in the day when I worked for the dealership(s). I don't like that ochre color, personally.

Re: Rarest truck
That is a dandy! I remember it belonging to a board member here, but drawing a blank on his name. His dad was also a member but got sick if I recall. They had a nice collection in the day. Is this yours? (I think it was Jason maybe?)
