*big71* · 05-31-2002, 11:41 PM

well it hard for me to say because i have 25 and one to two dealer install option it got 25 on option sheet and aux fuel tank swicth and name plates on doors that was dealer install just wondering what was ya fav. one

Longhorn Man · 06-01-2002, 12:33 AM

On the GMC, there is nothing there that gets my heart going...at least, not still there. i woulda loved to have the original cloth seat.
On the Longhorn, that's simple... Cruise Control.

Pumkin Truck · 06-01-2002, 12:42 AM

Not my ac, cause i dont have one,
Not my posi track, cause i dont have one,
Not my rear sliding window, you know why,
nor my eyelid mirror, turbo hydra matic, or 396. basically my favorite option would not be any on that amazing build sheet cause i dont have none of them! jk, really it would have to be my..umm...no not my power steering cause i put that in,..um..i know it is becuase it is a STEPSIDE!!!

Longhorn Man · 06-01-2002, 12:45 AM

(although, we all know that stepside is not an option since it has it's own model number)

Pumkin Truck · 06-01-2002, 12:57 AM

DO you have to crush all my hopes and dreams longhornmail!??!! lol jk i forgot that it had its own number :
"and that is not an I, it is a 1 and it goes with the 0 to make 10 which meant" said longhornmail on a former post of mine. i forgot what that meant but that was funny. then my fav option would be the two tone paint orange and white, (if that was an option)

junkyardjohn · 06-01-2002, 01:16 AM

GEEZE TONY -- HOW MANY OPTIONS?????? LOL

oleblue72 · 06-01-2002, 03:07 AM

Manual Throttle

Cheyenne71 · 06-01-2002, 03:43 AM

Out of the bucket seats and console, A.C., tac dash, auto trans, or tilt wheel I would have to say, it's a tie, all of them!!!!!

Project1970 · 06-01-2002, 05:06 AM

Ooooh...that's a tough one...

One of three...one, the power steering, because these are heavy heavy trucks and manual steering would just be evil...two, the A/C, because I'm in Arizona and it's rather necessary...three, the 350 4bbl, because even if it is one highly anemic 350, it's still a 350!!!

Huck · 06-01-2002, 07:47 AM

Tony = Favorite option--does it have to be factory? Probably the tilt wheel as it make it easier to get by belly in and out after I installed the factory buckets. Tach/Vac is nice as is the Am/Fm. Air is nice too but never bothered to hook it up. Tint is nice, Power steering is nice too as is the rear step bumper & the Posi. Never used the cruse, sholder belts, speed warning, so will just remove and trash them! Yea right!!
Actually get the most fun from the 5 speed. Nice to tow with and gives me great mpg.

yoeddie · 06-01-2002, 02:30 PM

power steering,

imaindianoutlaw · 06-01-2002, 02:40 PM

The heater is nice!

BLAZERMAN · 06-01-2002, 03:52 PM

Not every option is desirable, my 72 blazer came with the camper mirror option, there nice on a truck but I really would have prefered the sport mirrors for the blazer.

Jeff M. · 06-01-2002, 06:06 PM

Well, days like yesterday (100*) the A/C!

*racedvl* · 06-01-2002, 06:07 PM

I dunno..........

Burlinator · 06-01-2002, 06:50 PM

my 40 over 350 is my fav

**jerry moss** · 06-01-2002, 07:30 PM

tow hooks, naturally,lol. or it might be the 67-8 buckets,tilt, tach,am/fm, posi front and rear, bumper guards, tool box,aux fuel tank, shoulder belts,vacuum guage, air conditioning,power steering, power brakes, cheyenne super????????
it's tough to say which i like most---- i like them all. by the way i added most of the options to a factory 4x4 super.

Pont · 06-01-2002, 07:57 PM

mine would have to be "Panoramic View" (large back window)

GMman · 06-01-2002, 08:42 PM

on days like this, 95 degrees here in MO. i would half to say my AC, second favorite would be bucket seats, and 3rd would be the tilt wheel

Super Chevy · 06-01-2002, 09:05 PM

Mine would have to be power brakes,without the vac line hooked up its helluva hard to stop,i dont have power sterring,but i have a setup ready to bolt in

whats auckword is they optioned everything for a camper

Aux. springs
Heavy duty coils front and rear
camper wiring
those biga$$ square mirrors and
some kind of HD tires,forgot the name?
350/4bbl
3spd std. trans

But no friggen POWER STEERING

must have been a muscle man hehe

XXL · 06-01-2002, 09:07 PM

I believe racedvl and I may be tied for the "least option burdened" vehicles here. I always wondered why that sticker on the glove box door was so big

BTW, I promise NOT to post the image above ever again in this forum!

Kenneth

4 options (is "model" an option?... no? OK then, 3 options. What? paint is not an option? OK, 2 options then.)

DarkFox1 · 06-01-2002, 09:24 PM

well once the trucks done.. I am gonna be real thankful for that airconditioning mine came with, in heat like this.. you gotta get better than 2-55 cooling.

LeRoy · 06-01-2002, 09:38 PM

On my Baby, 70 K5. I'd have to say the removable top. lol

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 06-01-2002, 10:39 PM

The optional Dust Funnels where my Cab Corners are supposed to be!!? No maybe the optional Carpet Washer When It Rains, by leaking around windshield gasket!!? No maybe it's the optional Gaping Holes For The Bed Floor, so you can throw things you want to keep in the bed, and then loose them while going down the road!!? OOH! OOH! Wait a minute! I do have Tilt, Power Steering, and Automatic!!
