Re: Yahoo named the 67 one of the best chevy trucks

Although I like them all, the '67 is what started it all. My favorite thing about a '67 is the Small Back Glass. I almost feel like cutting up my '72 just to install one, lol.

Re: Yahoo named the 67 one of the best chevy trucks

Re: Yahoo named the 67 one of the best chevy trucks

The '67's are among my favorite. The small glass looks better but I am a big fan of the large window because I like being able to see out my back window easily. Especially the way people drive these days.

Re: Yahoo named the 67 one of the best chevy trucks

I think it should be for the 67-72. Picking one year from these makes no sense to me as basically, they were all the same thing.

I'm officially naming the 67-72 Chevy trucks the best looking trucks ever produced! There, that takes care of it.

67-72 all the same? Umm, no. Look at the front grills, front parking lights, and Bow Tie placement & report back here.

Re: Yahoo named the 67 one of the best chevy trucks

Two things: First, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, even though this article is on Yahoo, the list actually came from Chevrolet. There is a comment to the effect "Recently Chevrolet...prepared a list of '10 Chevrolet trucks...'". So, Chevy determined the top 10.

Here's where I need some help, or basically I have question. At one point in this article they said "Chevrolet introduced the Silverado name in 1999". Don't know about you folks, but I've had a number of Chevy trucks with the Silverado trim name, and I'm talking model years well before 1999! Agree, or disagree??

And, on a personal note, why they would put the "Colorado" in the top 10 is just beyond me!!

It wasn't worded properly.
Pre-1999 Silverado was a trim level.
After 1999 Silverado referred to the entire line.

Re: Yahoo named the 67 one of the best chevy trucks

We all know that 1960-61 chevy apache c10 was the best looking truck ever made! but I am a very proud owner of a 67 c10. So all in all good stuff.

All I'm saying is these type of "statistics" mean nothing to me,no matter who says it. If Chevrolet did it then it's to do with selling trucks. I mean,come on...2012 Colorado? They just came out for crying out loud. What they mean with '99 being the first Silverado is they stopped making pickup trucks in '98 and started making Silverados instead. Like it's another model of car.

Yes you did. Nice use of an adjective. Far as my personal favorite goes, I'm partial to the Task Force series. Specifically the '58 Apache.

Re: Yahoo named the 67 one of the best chevy trucks

I found it interesting that they sold more trucks in 1929 than they did in 2011. Of course I could have read that wrong. the 2012 Colorado, really, top ten? I liked the article.
