Options challenge: Let's see your glove box sticker! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

prostreetC-10 · 07-14-2009, 09:43 PM

So what did or didn't yours come with? I will be in the catagory of "least" options. My original owner must have been a cowboy......this thing came with a saddle!!! This has probably been done in one manner or another. I just thought it would be interesting to see the actual options sticker.

69GMCLonghorn · 07-14-2009, 10:20 PM

So what the heck is that? Were they referring to a color? Or did they actually get to pick out a saddle and throw it in the bed when they bought the truck?

69GMCLonghorn · 07-14-2009, 10:27 PM

I don't have a pic of mine, but it came with a MILLION so called "options", most of which I thought were standard since about 1932. Here are the highlights. SOMEONE PLEASE CHIME IN IF ANY OF THESE MAKE MY TRUCK A BARRETT JACKSON CONTESTANT!!!!

Tinted glass
Frt & Rear shocks - optional??
Aux spring eq
Exhaust Emission Control
HD starting motor
4 speed NP435 trans
Special paint (no... it wasn't!)
Blue vinyl trim
Door edge guards
HD front springs
Brake Booster eq
Oil bath air cleaner (probably should have save it, but didn't)
350 CID V-8 - finally, a worthwhile option!
Power steering
Tach
chrome front bumper
full foam seat - did they make a PARTIAL foam seat?? What the heck?
Chrome hubcaps

That's it... Out of all of that, no A/C... Dang the luck!

That's a good question and I hope someone will tell me. It would be nice if it was the color. Usually, when someone asks what color my truck is, I tell them it's an olive/baby vomit/puke gold color!!

Back in '68 it wouldn't surprise me what you could order them with. My '68 Custom Camper came from the dealer with a ............CAMPER!!!!

......and since when is a 4 speed trans an option? I thought that's the reason a "manual" trans is also called a "standard"!!

red71c10 · 07-14-2009, 10:55 PM

Here's mine. Fairly well optioned for a base model truck I suppose. It's nice to have the gauges and while I like trucks without body side molding, the extra bright work does help it from looking too plain.

You're right it has been done many times, but that's one of the best things about this board, everyone is willing to answer the same questions over and over. Your request is welcomed no matter what. Sometimes guys will link similar requests so you get an even more feed back. Here is mine. I like your minimalist SPID.

Not much to see here...

Longhorn Man · 07-14-2009, 11:10 PM

a manual 3 speed was standard on 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton trucks 67 - 72... 4 speed was standard on one tons.

PHAT TONY · 07-14-2009, 11:41 PM

Mine....

prostreetC-10 · 07-14-2009, 11:47 PM

Crap all mighty! What question could I possibly ask you LHM that you wouldn't know the answer to when it comes to these trucks??

It's funny too.....like that 1st gear in the original trans had any value! To me it was a 3 speed.

Hey Phat Tony.....was that a Blazer? Nice list!

71stroker · 07-15-2009, 12:19 AM

Here's my 71 and 72 chevy and 70 GMC Burb. 4x4 stickers! First one is of the 71. I think the glovebox lid was changed at one point. The vin.# is a 2wd I think, CC instead of CK, and the wheelbase is wrong. Second is the 72 and the last 2 are the 70 GMC Burb.

First gear is actually quite useful if you know when to use it. I call it the "parking lot" gear. I have a lopey cam in my truck. Sometimes using 2nd gear at low speeds causes it to buck like a bronco (not the Ford, the animal). Using first allows me to NOT slip the life out of the clutch.

stllookn · 07-15-2009, 06:57 PM

Option 525 is "Saddle Fawn" the interior paint and vinyl color. The exterior looks like 551 Anniversary Gold even though your truck is not a 50th.

stllookn · 07-15-2009, 07:13 PM

Mine is missing the tach dash and buckets...but they are going to be in the truck...LOL!

sjarrett71 · 07-15-2009, 07:32 PM

Here's mine. Nothing special...
