I sent them a letter to request one for my two 72 K-10's and they sent me a bunch of crap on 72 cars.

[BLACK AND BLUE 67-72]

Yeah, I've got one for my '72. It has a bunch of different stuff in it, shows the specifications on dimensions, weight, standard equipment, optional equipment, motors, trim packages, etc. and it has a book with GM Licensed Parts suppliers, and I think different car and truck clubs. I would recommend getting one, that is however if you can get them to actually sent you one, I called for one for my buddy almost two years ago and they said it would arrive in 3-4 weeks, and that was two years ago and we still never saw it!!

It has tons of info, including what was base equipment, all the options, and all the factory spesifications. If you call them have your VIN ready, and they'll send you one out for free.
I have alomst all of the 67 - 72 years here...if I can find the number, I'll post there 1-800 line.

[MR. GOODWRENCH]

I called an ordered one just now,I only had my c-30 vin handy ,would the pack be the same for a half ton 72 ?

This free packet from Chevrolet Motors is the ultimate reference for your old truck. Have your VIN number handy when contacting them for this free pack.

Don't be surprised if it takes 10-15 calls to finally get through. Ask for a "Restoration Package" (it's free in the USA). They will want your Vehicle Identification Number and year for your truck. The restoration package they send includes complete engineering specifications for your year truck, and also a very long list of parts vendors for classic Chevys.

NOTE: The USA Restoration Pack will NOT give you specific information for your individual vehicle, but generic info for the model year of your truck.

For our fine neighbors to the north in Canada, you should contact:

GM Canada Vintage Vehicle Services
Phone: (in Canada) 1-888-467-6853, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EASTERN time. (Outside Canada 1-905-644-3387 or 1-905-644-4060).

Unlike the US Restoration Packs, GM Canada charges for theirs; however, unlike the USA version, you WILL receive information specific to your particular truck. The cost is as follows:
For vehicles 1963 & older: $25.00 (CDN) + GST & PST (Ont.)
for 1964 to current vehicles: $45.00 (CDN) + GST & PST (Ont.)
Once again, those prices are in Canadian dollars!

[BLACK AND BLUE 67-72]

Mr. Goodwrench, I beleive it will be the same because mine has info on 10-30 series.

[teamroper!]

I included the vin off of both trucks and I received spec pages for 72 cars!

[Longhorn Man]

The 1970 packet is minimal, there is only a little info on it, that's why I started getting the other years too, plus it helps to figure the details on these rigs, like the buckets was part of the CST package in 67, but no other year...that kind of stuff.
I have always gotten through on the first call and got my packet in a few days, but some ppl haven't been so lucky.

[Blue Beard]

I called for my 70 and received info for the cars as well.

Called and let them know, they sent the right stuff.

Apparently either entered wrong or computer glitch...

[jorgensensc]

I just ordered one. That was super easy and they were really nice.

[Longhorn Man]

I voiced my opinon on the death of the camaro last time I ordered a restoration deal. At the end of the ordering, she asked if I had any questions or comments about G.M. She agreed with me 100% too.
