Re: Weird options
Yeah it uses special bracketry. One of my 67 327s had it so I have the right pulley as well. I have only seen a handful of these on light duty trucks and even seen one on a chevelle.

Re: Weird options
I had bought a original truck from the government back in the early 90's . It was a 1972 Chevy C-10 1/2 ton short step side box. The odd thing was it had a 350 V8 with a 4 speed standard transmission . Power steering and manual brakes. Wished I had not sold that truck.

Re: Weird options
I had a 6cyl '69 C/20 Stepside with gauges, AM, and Powerglide options. What was odd is it was ordered with Special Paint. It was a light gray and all 5 wheels were painted a deep red, yes from factory with chalk marks. What I find as most odd is you would think it would have been ordered as a company vehicle with the special paint, but never got lettering or logos. I would think a company that pays to have their trucks all match for recognition would also put their name on it. If it was a private special order it is odd to be that concerned about the color while not caring for much of any other options. We have a regional farm cooperative (Southern States) that uses those two same colors and I have wondered if they didn't order it and not claim it. It was also very low mile when I bought it about 10 years ago.

Re: Weird options
I’ve got this option. Wish i still had the generator. My alternator brackets are different than typical 396 brackets. This explains the reason. Thanks for the pic.

Re: Weird options
Another truck I had came with "interesting" options and here is why. Two brothers who were into drag racing ordered identical trucks. When Chevy put a 396 in a pickup in '68 they ordered two red on red short bed CSTs with no power accys, 3spd, tach, posi. Mine had a 454 and M21 in it when I bought it.

Re: Weird options
On a truck? I doubt many. Maybe that's true, but to go out of your way to special order a truck to have a color not offered and to paint the wheels a specific color while not ordering any other special options you would agree is certainly odd.

Re: Weird options
I have a '71 C20 with the "G86 Axle, No Spin Rear" option - sort of like positraction, but that was a different option altogether - This option was $125, which was not cheap!

Re: Weird options
Man I have to admit I can't figure you out. Is it really that obvious what I think you are or do you have some strange sense of humor that just makes you come off like one? You are assuming I want to change your opinion. There's no opinion to it anyway. The fact is what I described is odd and the other is I don't care what you think.

Re: Weird options
I can be the king of dry humor, but I watch it on the internet anymore. Easy to be mistook. I honestly wasn't sure one way or the other. I get the whole "so ridiculous you'd have to know it's humor" thing, but online with people you've never met ya just don't know*. All good and all that other cliche crap
![]() * I'm sure I've been guilty -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had a truck for a while that was one of the nicest I've had with nice not weird options. What was weird was the option it didn't get. I thought it was a K/20 when I went to look at it. It was a '69 K/10 lwb CST Custom Camper that 517 Maroon Poly color with Red bucket seat interior, tach, A/C, 350, posi rear, tow hooks, rear gas tank, wood floor, tool & stowage, pinstripe, and 16.5" x 8.25" wheels (10.00 flotation tires on the SPID). It didn't have that first year tilt, even with all those options. You know why? It was a 3spd! No optional transmission.I always thought that was weird.
