Great score randy glad to see this one is not in the parts section...

teeitup · 11-28-2010, 05:17 PM

THANKS GUYS, took some of the stuff off today, gave the topper away. Pressure washed the upper part of white. Truck started and ran for about 3 seconds then I turned it off, no radiator in it yet. Lighter, dome light, and heater/fan controls all work. AM radio doesn't

probably won't get much done for a week or so, to much going on with family.

I love looking at this Truck, and much better now without the Topper.

72BlckButy · 11-28-2010, 08:19 PM

Great addition Randy!

Maybe you can get that thing to fly on by the All Truck Nat's next September.

VA72C10 · 11-28-2010, 08:59 PM

cool truck...nice score and thanks for sharing...always neat to see the rare ones..

1949gmc · 11-28-2010, 10:17 PM

WOW! That truck looks awesome with the top gone. Very cool truck. LOVE the blue seat, too. Congrats!

teeitup · 11-28-2010, 11:55 PM

Thanks guys, the stickers aren't the best but they are still on it. I've got to find a radiator to get this thing going, sold all the ones I had. I even had to buy some 4 core holders from Tom K since I was out of them too. Thanks again, Randy

**68350** · 11-29-2010, 01:42 AM

Really glad it turned out good for you. I would tend to think this one was made before the big push of the highlander package, just because it only has the seat option listed, without the special promotional package. I would think even if you had ordered an A or B packaged highlander, you could have ordered tilt and/or a/c seperately as it wasnt part of the package, which is what I think this truck kinda is. I think you should keep it for a year or two and drive it, I kinda want to see a video of it driving around haha.

chipflyer · 11-29-2010, 02:56 PM

Pretty cool Randy, can't wait to look her over in person. Definitely one of the coolest 67-72's in our area. Don't worry about that spid, we can make it say whatever you want,

Jeff

Lemield · 11-29-2010, 03:07 PM

Very cool Randy. Glad it got a new owner that appreciates the rare ones!

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-29-2010, 04:29 PM

Very nice Randy! I like it more with all of that stuff in the pics removed.

**Joesjunk** · 11-29-2010, 07:52 PM

Cool truck Randy!

teeitup · 11-29-2010, 10:21 PM

THANKS guys, I moved it back behind the fence. Next week hopefully I'll get some time to work on it more. I think I'm going to have to find a replacement sterring column, this one is jacked up. Maybe that would be a good time to put a tilt in

409impala1 · 11-29-2010, 10:31 PM

how much for the windshield, cb, and grill?

1949gmc · 11-29-2010, 11:02 PM

First in line for the glovebox door, please.

GobbleStalker · 11-29-2010, 11:16 PM

I have never seen or heard of a c20 with the highlander package. Thought the package was for c10 1/2 tons only. I could be wrong though.

Like this one? The guy who bought it from us changed the look of it just BIT.

CircusWagonJim · 01-21-2011, 02:37 PM

I have wondered for the last 10 years if any of those decal trucks survived. Great to see one has!

**'70_402** · 01-21-2011, 03:24 PM

i never even knew anything like this existed... what's the story behind them? were they offered in every area of the country?

Gene · 01-21-2011, 04:31 PM

That is just too cool. My wife took a look at it and said it's ugly... Some women have no truck taste

CORSAIR · 01-21-2011, 05:52 PM

The decals were they installed at the factory or a Dealer installed Option?
Does anybody know? Myself and a buddie are looking into recreating a blazer His farther bought a new one in 1972 in So Ca. He has the window sticker and alot more pictures. I will try and get more posted ASAP

CircusWagonJim · 01-21-2011, 07:30 PM

I would say both- but more being applied at the dealer so not to spoil a sale otherwise. I would imagine if they were added at the factory it would be for a truck that was ordered that way. Regardless- don't think many were made. They had the same kit available for ElCaminos- and I believe vans.

CircusWagonJim · 01-21-2011, 07:33 PM

Also found this survivor here in the Blazer section.
