SPID option I've not seen before - what is it? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**jocko** · 05-21-2012, 12:55 AM

E81 - FLOOR BOARD? If so, what the heck is that?
Or is it E81 FDOOR BOARD? (as in special cut in the wood in a wood bed 72 to accomodate a truck that also has factory aux fuel tank (o.e. to clear filler neck in bed)?

It's on this Cheyenne 20, pretty nice truck in my mind. Not sure I'm ready for the 3/4 tonner world, but if I were.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-...65f1a793#v4-42

Anyway, just curious about that option. Thanks.

Wood in the bed I think.

SS Tim · 05-21-2012, 04:25 AM

E81 is the wood floor option on the fleetside beds.

That truck is sweet!

**special-K** · 05-21-2012, 06:52 AM

WOW! I started thinking that was my old Custom Camper/20's SPID until I saw it's a '72,not '71 (and my SPID said Custom Sport Truck and 396)

It is simply the option for wooden bed floor. Steel was standard wood was optional.

thanks - just curious, I had seen wood beds in 72s before, just never knew it had to be ordered as an option. Interestingly enough, that truck did not sell today, reserve not met. Max bid was only a hair over $4000. I wouldn't have sold it for that little either. Clearly worth more. I didn't bid, decided to continue down the half-ton road. Thanks again.

Got a problem with C/20's??

**jocko** · 05-24-2012, 09:51 PM

Ha! Nope, kinda like a blonde and a brunette, no problem with either of them, but can only have one... Or should I say, I can only afford one... (truck or woman, take your pick)

**jocko** · 05-24-2012, 10:16 PM

what the heck... As soon as the one we were discussing closed out without a sale, THIS one shows up right behind it! I think white over ochre C20s are stalking me... I can hear them saying "buuuuuyyyyy meeeeeeee jockoooooooo"

I've seen this one for sale before - nice old truck, fair price. Just wanted to share: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevy...018bd2ed#v4-42

They changed the wording at some point, I think 71 or 72, to "FLOOR BOARD" from the previous and more common wording of "PICKUP BOX FLR".

**jocko** · 05-24-2012, 10:41 PM

Really? That makes me wonder then - when did steel bed floor become standard, 67? And so up until 71 or 2 it was PICKUP BOX FLR? Hmm. I learn something new every day.
