I have never seen one in person nor anywhere else other than that pic. Back in the day people used to match the tow vehicle to the car on the trailer by customizing it. I am pretty sure there was never a C-10 SS.

Longhorn Man · 07-28-2006, 09:01 PM

It is not real. GM did this as a prototype, it never made production.

**N2TRUX** · 07-28-2006, 09:07 PM

It looks like it has the SS Camaro hood too. That would be asweet to clone...

**special-K** · 07-28-2006, 10:24 PM

Back then,they didn`t think the truck was worthy of the TQs,I guess.

corn · 07-28-2006, 11:54 PM

Even just getting to see a better pic of it would be sweet.

ThatOneBlue67 · 07-28-2006, 11:57 PM

Man, I love that grille! Even if it isn't true, that looks like a cool mod all unto it's own.

Solver · 07-29-2006, 12:50 AM

Closest I have seen to that is this

ThatOneBlue67 · 07-29-2006, 01:45 AM

What's with the molding across the grille? Looks like someone taped it on there.

tell me that orange one don't look like the hot wheels truck!

Solver · 07-29-2006, 07:46 AM

Yep hideaway headlights! Pretty well done mod

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-29-2006, 07:54 AM

WOW, not my style, but very well done to say the least

mblackburnjr · 07-29-2006, 08:16 AM

Yea! Hotwheels is exactly what i was thinking! Wonder if it was their inspiration?

70c10 · 07-29-2006, 09:24 AM

They could have done without the orange bar thru the grille.

Joe67 · 07-29-2006, 09:42 AM

That is a classic GM pic for sure, RS/SS pickup

Is the grille on that orange truck flat?
That orange stripe has to go...

corn · 07-29-2006, 11:35 AM

Im not a real fan of altering the look of the 67-72 factory body lines much, but I do like this .

Joe67 · 07-29-2006, 01:12 PM

That looks cool

**Canadian694x4** · 07-29-2006, 03:22 PM

Wow, nice job on those hideaway headlights on the Orange truck...

JAKES 68GMC · 07-29-2006, 07:13 PM

I like them hidden away better, and take off that dang molding.

**passthebuck** · 07-29-2006, 07:38 PM

Sorry to hijack the thread but, - SOLVER: do you (or anybody else for that matter) know what those wheels are on that orange stepside?

ChevyC10Argentina · 07-30-2006, 12:46 PM

Thanks everyone! i really like the orange one, but i'd quit the orange strip...

thanks again,

greetings from Argentina

Not to sound like a butthead, but isn't that what they said about that 4 door 68 or 69 pickup that was on here a while back? They said it was a prototype where they built I think they said 6 of them. Maybe there is a possibility of a couple of these sitting out there somewhere?

Longhorn Man · 07-30-2006, 04:22 PM

The problem is, GM doesn't make titles for there prototype trucks, and therefor, can't seel them. They are hardly ever (if ever) up to safety specs, nor smog specs.

svgould · 07-30-2006, 05:03 PM

Take a look at this one!!!
