Poll...Is your truck a numbers matching truck? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have owned it since 1980 when it had 65,000 now 375,000. all numbers match . 1972 gmc

Mayo · 02-22-2009, 11:25 AM

As far as I know it is an all original truck, just hot rodded a little except for the 5 speed.

ETsC10 · 02-22-2009, 12:04 PM

On the engine, I would vote no, but I’m not sure. My C-10’s original 327 was stolen and now has an
identical 327 from an unmolested GMC. Of course, the remainder of the truck was
composed of parts from dozens of trucks.

AprilFool, my parts truck, is bone stock sans a little added bondo over the years

Going for the 100 pt. restoration...even have the correct split rims on the build sheet and the original spare!!!! It is interesting to note that any dealer installed item, as long as it is documented, is perfectly fine in a 100 pt. restoration.

Original spare tire mounted up for S&G's.

OhioChevy · 03-01-2009, 12:23 PM

Yes, alll matching numbers with mine.

**Palf70Step** · 02-18-2009, 04:19 PM

It was, and it will never go back.

**70cst** · 02-21-2009, 03:36 PM

This is surprising me that almost 50% of our trucks are still numbers matching. Considering the age of our trucks and the work that was required of them this is impressive.

CheyenneShop · 02-19-2009, 05:11 PM

1968 shorty - yes, 307 with 3 on the tree, but that will be changing soon!
1971 long to short - no 75 350, with th350
1972 shorty - no 402 and th400 out of above 71'
1972 3/4 4x4, yes original 350

OrangeCrush1970 · 02-19-2009, 06:43 PM

base model GMC Custom 1500 AC Cab 3.07 rearend w/ original 350/th350 combo...both have been rebuilt. AC still hooked up. no plans to change cause I aint got no MONEY!

DB Smith · 02-19-2009, 06:45 PM

Nope, not anymore. Took out the ol' six banger and dropped in a fresh small block.

Ronm909 · 02-19-2009, 08:37 PM

Nope had a 305 V6, too slow!!!

**67 cst swb** · 02-20-2009, 01:52 AM

Mine is not a numbers matching truck, But (my next project) is only a motor short of numbers matching. Trans is orig, rearend is orig, both match protect-o-plate, and I guess the orig motor is in the trunk of a car in a guys personal salvage yard (about 150 cars) about 60 miles South of me. So, we just need to get together an go popping trunks. The V1220YH will tell it all....

Good point. I guess I was thinking motor/engine.

72BlckButy · 02-20-2009, 09:04 AM

My '69 CST I recently acquired is a numbers matching truck, and I couldn't be happier with the 250.

72BlckButy...I read your info on your LINK and you made a very good point. When we drive our trucks we are going back in history and we own a little bit of history. You have a very nice truck.

Thanks 70cst... I'm still in shock that I was able to locate such a rust free truck in the rust belt and only 22 miles from my door.

By the way, great thread!

**SOUTHERN917** · 02-20-2009, 09:45 AM

I have 1970cst10 with original 350/th350, a/c cab, wood bed(rotten places, but original), original 4bbl Q-jet, and posi rear end. I have only updated steering wheel, and radio. The PO's paint job sucks, but I'm saving my nickels to fix that.

*chevy29267truck* · 02-20-2009, 10:16 PM

Ever thing is on the 67 chevy truck but the engine when i got the truck it had no engine

Chris4x4Gill2 · 02-21-2009, 09:44 AM

Very impressive.

Sport/Truck · 02-21-2009, 10:44 AM

Mine's matching numbers and it's now a 383 stroker! I kept the original heads even though it's not helping my HP any. I wanted to keep the old school look and not change it much.

Now the question is should I re-stamp the code on the decked block?

69gumby · 02-21-2009, 11:12 AM

No, 1980 something 165 HP, gas eating engine, but a new one is on the way.

mines matching #'s

heavy71chevy · 02-21-2009, 04:26 PM

Mine was and I drove it on the stock 350/350 combo for over a year..then my cam went flat on the #5 lobe and I tore it down to find some damaged bores. So i said screw it and found a real low milage original 1964 327 out of a corvette with only 65,000 original miles.Then once the truck was inoperable I drove the five speed mustang and prefer it so out comes the turbo350 to make way for a 3 speed with a floor shifter..
