my first 67 was a cst package and it was bench as well

I wonder if mabey the original owner didn't want the buckets and had the dealer switch it? I have never had a 67 with the holes that wasn't a bucket seat truck originally

That's too bad they replaced the V6, now you're gonna get 15mpg instead of the original 8.

That's a swell '67 in a really nice state of preservation.

[My early '68 C/10 Stepside had the fold-forward bench seat. Sorta wished I'd kept it now. But I traded it [in 1977] to a Sgt, +$20, for the '69 Thunderbird bench/bucket-back electric seats I still have now.]

I wonder the same thing, or it was switched out later for whatever reason. The carpet says it had buckets. GM only put carpet over the tank in bucket seat trucks. The holes for the center seat back bracket should be present.

I'm not knocking the truck. I absolutely love it and wish I could have bought it. I'm super glad that you were the buyer with it meaning so much to you and knowing you will cherish it from this point on. But curiosity runs strong in me and seeing a '67 Super Custom or CST that didn't come with buckets runs contrary to what I have learned over these years. If this one in fact never had buckets I'd like to know for sure. I'm not yet convinced.

Is there a center seat back support bracket hiding behind the carpet above the tank? You might be able to feel around for it.

[Steeveedee]

Isn't carpet on the tank a CST thing? Or just for '67 and buckets? My truck has carpet on the tank and a bench seat.

As Special-K mentioned, bucket seats came by default with the CST package in '67. In '68 and up the bucket seats became an option that could be added to the CST package.

[Steeveedee]

So, another one of those '67-only features. I get ever more educated around here!

Well I`ll tell you guys what.. this carpet is the looped carpet and the color contradicts what the seat door and panals look like so i think im gonna replace it.. Im gonna be pulling the bench and Well see if this has the mounts for a bucket set up.... I wish it had buckets!! but this truck was originally ordered from a Dr. In Los Alamos NM (A bomb lab for you WWll guys)
he ordered it with a camper and that bigger bumper with bolted on D rings to tie the camper on to.. I bet he had them swap out to a bench to haul family more comfortable
turns out,,,Im the third owner!!
QUESTION FOR YOU GUY S SPEAKING OF CARPET...... ON THESE SUPER CUSTOMS, DID THEY PUT CARPET ON THE LOWER PART OF THE DOORS WHERE PEOPLE CUT HOLES TO PUT SPEAKERS? ALSO ON THE KICK PANALS?
Oh and ANother update... I get the engine started yesterday after sittiing all those years!!!

[chewychevy67]

No carpet on doors or kicks . Not on any models made from 67 72. The carpet looks like the correct color. Is a v6 and th400 a high hump cab like the big block cabs were? I am not sure on other years but 67 didn't have moulded carpet from the factory. They were sewn together and had a vinyl strip across the hump. They also did not cover under the seat. Just pieces around the edges. 67 68 trucks also had a shaped cardboard around where the jack goes . In 69 I believe they just draped the carpet down without using cardboard

[chewychevy67]

I should have mentioned that I do love this truck as well and I'm not trying to pick it apart. 67 is my favorite. I've had a few but not many other years so I'm limited to what I've had for information.

[too much stuff]

So is this a super custom with a bench seat? (no spid) Maybe chevy had the buckets standard in 67 and GMC was a separate option?
I still have the original seat for it.

Nice truck you just got!

[chewychevy67]

You never know. Being so many 67 gmc truck have no spid and they were made in seperate places than chevys for the years prior thet took longer to get their "stuff" in order.

[MusicMan70]

Just noticed it has the wood box too. Any more pics?

It has been in car shows here in New Mexico years ago and has won a few trophies but has sat for the past 15 years.
This is a 1967 GMC super custom 3/4 ton two-wheel drive. It came with all of the original interior but it looks like it has been redone. When I was looking to buy the truck all the interior was covered in blankets. Thank goodness cuz look how good it looks now the 351 V6 has been replaced with a 350 but other than that it is all original. I'm definitely getting rid of those rims and putting the original hubcaps back on that the owner's wife still had in the garage. I just need to find the eight lug steel wheels with clips.
Tell me what you guys think. I love this truck

And I already came up with a name for my new girl here. I think I'm going to call her "pine box" cuz this is the one I'm going to get buried in. LOL

Yep that is my daughter who helped me power wash it for all of 5 minutes before she got bored with it. LOL but she can't wait for me to get all the fluids changed out and get the brakes going again so I can drive it.

Really Nice... congrats

i CAN TAKE MORE YES... THE WOODS OLD TOGH AND SOME PIECES MISSING.. BUT I LOVE THE DARKCOLOR

[ThreeQuarter]

Beautiful! Good for you that you got this one. That seat and those door panels look great. I’m always glad to see a ‘67 in its original form.

I am under the impression that in ‘67-‘68 the only pickups painted with a two-tone pattern below the side trim were the ‘68 Chevy gold/white 50th packages. Maybe it’s also a GMC thing that I didn’t realize?

[rustytruck50]

Nice score!!!!
