NEW FIND 67 CST Custom Camper Many Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

clean67 · 04-28-2008, 04:56 AM

Well here it is,this is my newest find.I heard about the truck,and from what i could tell it sounded like a CST.So i went with a buddy and a car trailer.The rest is a familiar story.Eight hours of heavy rain on the interstate and it was home.The truck is loaded and most of it is still there.It does not have the nicest body in the world,but nothing a complete restoration wont fix.I do have many questions though.Has anyone seen the optional fuel filter equipment,I would like to find the whole set up but i need to know what it looks like.I will be glad to help anybody with the options i do have.Let me know what you want to see.
Does anyone reproduce the the automatic gear shift indicator for 67.I have never seen one that was not broken.But i can not seem to find one.

Let me know what you guys think
Oh by the way,i am not the best typist or letter writer

That is a well optioned truck. Nice find!

67_C-30 · 04-28-2008, 05:29 AM

Awesome '67! That's a very well optioned first year truck.

Really, really nice truck - I think that one's worth keeping and restoring.

Oil bath air cleaner!

Highsteel · 04-28-2008, 06:26 AM

Yeah, nice truck. Thats exactly what my antenna looks like, lol. My C/10 came with the same wheels also! Speed warning indicator! I have yet to see one.

68,69 K20 · 04-28-2008, 04:12 PM

Nice truck, lots of nice options on it.

**Palf70Step** · 04-28-2008, 04:24 PM

Very nice truck!!

brad_man_72 · 04-28-2008, 04:45 PM

sweet find. i want to see a picture of the dash please. i dont have a speed warning but other than that i think we have same options. i have never seen another like it.

clean67 · 04-28-2008, 04:57 PM

Thank you all for your responses.I now have a pm in to barepaint,i would like to compare trucks.These Are the only pics i have of the dash,will try to get more when the sun is shinning.Brad_Man do have the fuel filter equipment.

**too much stuff** · 04-28-2008, 05:03 PM

Nice! I would say it is worth saving. Some rare options there. Eric

Old Money · 04-28-2008, 05:07 PM

welcome, and that is a excellant find very rare and expensive when new. Old money.

**WorkinLonghorn** · 04-28-2008, 06:24 PM

Nice find.

I like that glove box. Very clean cool look.

Nice truck. Welcome to the board

**jerry moss** · 04-28-2008, 06:38 PM

speedwarning, tach , buddy buckets, WOW. those are sweet options

72BlckButy · 04-28-2008, 07:19 PM

Nice score!

brad_man_72 · 04-28-2008, 08:46 PM

thanks, now ive seen another, thank god yours isnt cracked they dont make new ones yet. i dont have anything original under the hood.

72cheyennesuper20 · 04-28-2008, 11:49 PM

I keep looking at the 2 dash pics, (brad man & clean67). They sure fit alot of options into those dashes.

mahanian · 04-29-2008, 12:10 AM

That is a really nicely optioned truck! The 327 engine and turbo 400 tranny was the biggest you could get in 67. The speed warning was only available in 67 and the bucket seats are rare as well. Definitely a keeper!

**70cst** · 04-29-2008, 12:14 AM

To the CST Club...Great looking truck with great options. I don't care if it is a C20...that is a sweet and desirable truck. My 70cst is a LWB truck but with similar options such as yours...it makes these trucks lower factory production numbers and to me that makes them more desirable. JMHO Then again….all 67-72 Chevy/GMC trucks rocks!

factorystock · 04-29-2008, 12:42 AM

A nice find. Definitely a survivor due to being a recreational vehicle and not a work truck. My Chevy Red Book says there were 12,588 CST made in 1967. My guess is a good 1/4 of that must have been CST Custom Campers. I dont know how barepaint came up with 97 only being built. In 1966, There were approx 9,000 Custom Campers built and they were all 3/4 tons and all had the Custom Cab features.Another strange thing he mention was a 5.14 rear end, that is a one ton ratio, not a 3/4 ton ratio. The standard ratio was 4.57, with the optional ratio of 4.11 in 1967.

The speedwarning was available from 67-69 actually. I think that cruise control phased it out. The bucket seats were available in 67 and 68. I think the seats were standard in a 67 cst, and an option in 68. Some hard to find parts there...

brad_man_72 · 04-29-2008, 02:23 AM

i recall reading in a book that 3% of all 67 chevy trucks that could have been equiped with a tachometer, were equiped and 3% on the manual throttle also. no clue on the other options. the only speed warning i have is the fan belt starts screaming around 70mph

Longhorn Man · 04-29-2008, 02:38 AM

the buckets were part of the CST package in 67
gearing should be 4.10 as standard when v8 and automatic was ordered.
your 67 only CST horn button is missing, and very hard to find looks like this;

Instead of the normal one;

the speed warning was in fact avalible till the end of 69
You have a VERY desirable truck there... esp considering it is so close to being complete... even the oil bath air filter is still there... THAT would be a tough one to locate... they were all thrown away in the 70's.
