Re: 67-72 Development/Concept Photos Galore!
Yes, thanks for bringing this back to the top. Simply fantastic thread. It would be fun to have one of those clay models made in 1963 or 1964 for display in my yard. I wonder if they were all disposed of.

I guess this depends on the financial situation, development/design stage and philosophy of the OEM. I know at least one European OEM, which store some of the final full-size clays somewhere in a (or several) warehouse(s). |

More permanent properties, like fiberglass bucks/mockups and actual show car properties are kept. Clay models are photographed in great detail and the photos cataloged and stored in the basement of the Studio. Unfortunately we had some flooding in Southeast Michigan a few years ago and many items were lost or damaged. K

Re: 67-72 Development/Concept Photos Galore!
Extra Photos, GMC
-March 1970 Along with the Chevrolety Tempo photos, I found a few extra development photos of the C10 to fill in some gaps from the main photo sets. The first few photos pick up after the last photo for the development of the GMC. At the time I wrote that post, I did not have these photos and assumed GM did not propose any significant updates to the GMC for '71/'72. As it turns out, they did in fact prototype several grill updates for '71/'72, including one single headlight design like the Chevrolet.

Re: 67-72 Development/Concept Photos Galore!
I have finally figured out what this oddball truck is that was included in the photo sets I received:
Turns out, the answer was buried here on the board all along in this thread. It's a Brazilian spec C10! Apparently, Chevrolet commissioned a Brazilian company to assemble the trucks for them in South America, and they used many carry over parts from previous generations of pickups. The year ranges for the specific body styles were also different. This site details the specs for the South American C10s by year.

Re: 67-72 Development/Concept Photos Galore!
The Jimmy that should have been... So I built a Chevy version of the SS C/10 that the General didn't... She sports an actual 1969 L34 396 SS motor with some upgrades that push the stock 350 HP to about 425 Pony's.
