what year is this truck, it has 6 lug wheels, 350/350, just trying to ID for a friend. I don't know these years very well. The boat is a '69 Belmont. Thanks, taclem

69 or 70 C10

Robznob11 · 04-13-2013, 05:32 PM

could be 69 or 70

71swb4x4 · 04-13-2013, 05:44 PM

As the others have said it has a 69 or 70 grille and hood emblem on it.
6 lug would also point to those years as 71 and 72 1/2 ton 2wd's had 5 lug.

Of course these trucks go together pretty easily and swapping parts isn't tough.

While it could be a 69 or a 70 the fact that it is a period picture and has round mirror heads strongly indicate a 69. If you have a better frontal shot of the grill we might be able to firm that up more. But as it sits I am comfortable with calling it a 69.

I agree SS Tim and others, I believe it is a '69. My best friend bought it new and just passed recently, his wife says it is in the shed at the ranch and was waiting to be restored along with the boat. I would like to get both but am more interested in the truck. My '66 has the same wheels and a tonneau cover, I must have liked his to have copied it that much.
thanks again all. taclem

Boy that would be an awesome combo to restore.

54belair · 04-13-2013, 07:16 PM

could be 68-72----but it seems to have a 69 or 70 front clip

SCHRUMGMC · 04-13-2013, 07:24 PM

I'd assume a '69 Chevy

jjzepplin · 04-13-2013, 07:37 PM

Sorry to hear of his passing. I hope when I go someone appreciates my rides and restores them too! Nice boat too. It would sure compliment that truck to have both and paint the same color.

COULLLD BE 67, 68, 69 70,71 OR A 72....just swap the front end and add moldings, trim, lights...etc. but that front end is off a 69 or 70, everything else would need a true expert..... lol i just schooled up the wife on the basic difference between them all...sorry i had to be a smart a$$

I have noticed there is slight changes over the years to the Step Sides from the 59-72's or is it just me ?

i think there are at least 3 different stepside in that year span. but they may all fit one another not sure on that part.

SCHRUMGMC · 04-13-2013, 10:11 PM

Sorry to hear that! Needs to be restored??? Is that an old picture? It looks like a really sharp truck and boat combo as is?

SCHRUMGMC · 04-13-2013, 11:06 PM

Can you post photos of what it looks like now ?

Sorry for the loss of your Friend man, Prayers to you
