A Guide To 1967-1972 Chevy/GMC Pickups
The 1967-1972 Chevrolet/GMC C/K series of pickups is well on its way to achieving icon status, just as the 1955-1957...

Many of you have read this article but I like to post every few months...soooooooo this is for our newer members who haven't read this.

I am not a NEWB but man I really enjoy reading that article everytime..

I got a kick out of the last paragraph

Quote:

As much as prices for '67-'72 Chevy pickups are rising, there isn't any reason to panic. They made about 3 million of these trucks and lots of them survived. Supplies are ample, so you can take your time to find a good truck at a fair price.

Wonder how many of us wish we had read that, and spent the miniscule amount of money to become a supporter of this site, PRIOR to making our first purchase?

Thanks for posting again, John

I was fortunate to be a member of this site before I purchased my loaded BB 70cst. I was actually looking for a 48-55 model when I stumbled upon this truck in Celina Tn. Oh yes...I paid about $2300.

Thanks for the article I can't wait to dig in to my GMC. It has so many issues I don't know where to start. First step; I'm trying to get it to pass inspection! I’m glad to see so much aftermarket/restoration support. It looks like I could practically build one from a catalogue.

Hard to believe for me too. After digging around for about one minute, It looks like almost 350,000 were produced for 1967 alone. That doesn't include Burbs, Panels or GMC"s
