[QUOTE=special-K;9304274]What a time capsule. great find. I'm glad you found it and appreciate it as it is and not just a body donor. /QUOTE]

Right, we have a thread for vehicles like these. IMO, condition is everything. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...capsule+thread

Wow! That is a nice find and I believe any of us would have found it hard to resist. That OG look is worth keeping for sure.

You don't see them like that too often these days. That was a nice find for sure!!!!

I can't find any originality to nit-pick. That's a very fine original survivor.

That’s pretty cool you remember all that. If the vin started with CE (vs CS) it could have been an original 283 even not being listed on the spid.

Wish I had the vin, but unfortunately I guess not, unless I somehow find some old paperwork buried, but if any existed, it probably was lost during cleanout of the property when I sold it after my parents passing. I did visit with the son of the dealership where a few vehicles we owned were purchased, but he said they only kept records for 7 years, and trucks purchased in the 60s and 70s were long gone. After posting this I did recall dads truck also had an option for heavy rear springs listed as well. But I do know you could count the options on the spid on one hand with a missing finger or two. Who knows, that truck remained in the area up through into the early 90s and I would see it from time to time.

I believe the numbers on the core support are from November 2003 when the coolant was tested to -40 degrees.

What an amazing find. That would have been following me home too!
