What is your favorite year - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bishops Trucks · 11-05-2005, 10:27 AM

I' m a little partial to '71s cause I have 3 of them. A long bed 3/4 ton 4x4, short bed 1/2 ton 4x4, and a long bed 2 wheel drive "SS 396" 4-speed with a 12 bolt posi project truck. I've also been working on my wifes cousin for a couple years trying to get his '40 F*rd Truck that has been in his barn for close to twenty years. That would have to be my favorite body style in trucks or coupes.

**Palf70Step** · 11-05-2005, 10:41 AM

70 Chevy
Then any year GMC

**N2TRUX** · 11-05-2005, 12:33 PM

68. I would say 67-68 but since I have to pick one year it would be 68. ....

73737373 · 11-05-2005, 12:34 PM

My favorite has to be a 68 LWB, red w/white top, white grill, factory hubcaps, white walls, side chrome and soft ray tinted glass...and put in an old stovebolt w/a 3 speed on the column while you're at it. Gotta have PS and PB, though.

I'm not that fond of any of the shortbed trucks...they look out of proportion, and the ride is choppy.

Mudder · 11-05-2005, 12:38 PM

1967

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 11-05-2005, 01:20 PM

1969-1970 C20 and C30 longbeds and flatbeds.

knsmodels · 11-05-2005, 01:27 PM

gotta go with 72 LWB......

70short/step · 11-05-2005, 01:38 PM

Uh......a 70 short step!

SIR · 11-05-2005, 01:45 PM

I get my "kicks" in a long-low-66.....

BRUCE...

raidermanny · 11-05-2005, 01:48 PM

72 short bed love the grill

corn · 11-05-2005, 02:18 PM

You know your favorite will be the one you have but I can like any year truck as long as its done right. I have an 84 & a 69 & like different things about both of them. I have always wanted a small window 67 short box though...

69TowRig · 11-05-2005, 02:25 PM

71-72 Chevy SWB Fleet 4x4 w/Orange&White Two-Tone. I've wanted one for nearly a decade now...

***Josh*** · 11-05-2005, 03:51 PM

mine would be 69, with 67s close behind, and 71-72s in third... I love em all tho

TP from Cntl PA · 11-05-2005, 04:02 PM

Any of the GMC's(67-72)

69/70 Chevy

Even though I got a '71 and my brother is building a '72, I really don't like the 71's and 72's............Everyone and their brother wants that grill

CPNEJR · 11-05-2005, 04:13 PM

I'd have to say that the 67 CHEVY and GMC STEPSIDE because of the lack of side markers the grill and hoods and the small rear window.

67-72williso · 11-05-2005, 08:49 PM

67Body 71-72 Frames SWB That fits the bill.

longhorn71 · 11-05-2005, 09:01 PM

69/70 chevy fronts are my fav

86swb · 11-05-2005, 09:24 PM

If I had to pick what I would rather have and what year. it would be a 1972 SWB Chevy.

Buckman · 11-06-2005, 08:12 AM

71 gmc swb fleetside and 69 z28 camaro and custom harley because these are what I have.

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-06-2005, 08:33 AM

67 Small back window w/ 72 running gear

Thats exactly what i have a 67 chevy body on a 72 GMC swb frame

1967k30 · 11-06-2005, 11:07 PM

67' 4x4's.If I had the $$$$ I'd buy more and rebuild a couple with different options.I looked for years to find a 67' and passed up many 68-72's.Second pick would be 68'.I wanted a 3/4ton but had to settle for what I could find.Two years later my little brother bought his 67' K20.

short wide 4x4 · 11-06-2005, 11:54 PM

72 swb. but sure do like the front grill on the 67-68

roj2323 · 11-07-2005, 12:08 AM

hum.... lets see
a 71 with a 67-68 hood, with a 64-66 chevy dashboard, and a 67 LWB
in short: project cold-fire also known as project mass confusion =)

realisticly though a 67 short bed and a 72 short bed are the two that i would think are the most popular however i'm not much of a purist.

matt67350 · 11-07-2005, 12:25 AM

67 swb fleet.

I'm currently driving and working on a 67 swb step. It has parts from 67 to 87.
I get a wide supply of parts and have fun modifying the truck for safty and
performance.
