Hector, I'll be honest with you, as soon as I saw it I said to myself "I wonder if it's for sale?"

You know me too well my friend!

What a great find!!!!

Beautiful truck for sure.
When I first saw this thread I really was doubtful on autronic being used in 1967, I don't think it was. I feel that some of these options were dealer added for show purposes. Scroll down this link about 3/4 way and look at the serial number listing for the various GM divisions:

That is correct. They were dealer adds. I should make it home in the light tomorrow to snap a few more photos.

Cool truck!
The auto dimmer on the dash looks just like one my buddy had in his '63 Cadillac.

Syndrome · 01-15-2014, 11:01 PM

I should drive down to Phoenix and check this truck out in person! Great ride.

Keep the pics coming.

BrianG · 01-15-2014, 11:03 PM

Heck, I'd love to come from Michigan to see it!!! What a beautiful time capsule. Can't wait to see more pics.

what happened to the mirrors? slick truck! id kill for even half of those options on my truck

powell72 · 01-16-2014, 12:44 PM

I think it's interesting that the gauge bezel is body colored like a GMC, I wonder if that was done when the 8-track was installed?? Also looking forward to more pics.

rustylew · 01-16-2014, 01:28 PM

Got a quick photo this morning.

Remember the phrase " A sucker born every minute "? It's ok to accept, but wiser to verify before doing something extreme. Theres plenty of unconventional stuff on this one, IMO, it appears to be a resto mod.

mcbassin · 01-16-2014, 11:22 PM

Come on Rustylew! We need more pictures of this truck.

Dean'smeanmachine · 01-16-2014, 11:32 PM

LockDoc

Interested also - it looks a lot like an aftermarket vac gauge I had in a previous truck - mine was a stewart warner, but it fit the hole in the 64-66 dash perfectly. Many other brands/sizes were available at parts stores and used to be a bit more common of an add-on. I like it! SPID! SPID! SPID!!!!

Ha! Rusty, you're the main attraction on here!

Cape Codder · 01-16-2014, 11:53 PM

It looks like to many things changed for it to be a reference for restoration. There is no way to know what was dealer installed from new to what has been added as the owner saw fit. I do know a lot of crazy stuff could be bought by people with connections in the auto business. A lot of cars and trucks were special ordered with options not in the brocures. My parents had a customer at their Kennel business that was a Chrysler executive and had a Satellite wagon with a Road Runner nose and drive train. All factory assembled
