Beautiful 67, I have the same truck, color and all but with every option offered in 1967. A/C, Power brakes, Power steering, three-way seat, 327cid with the turbo 400 tranny, reverse rim chrome Moonies, large rear window, wood bed and more! I love my truck, I have had her for over 30 years and I will drive her about twice a year just for pleasure. The glove lid lists all these options, a real sweet example of what GM could do.
67s are so cool with all their year specifics. Believe it or not. The 67 big window is the very rare one since you had to specially chose that option. I like the small window myself because you know what year it is from a mile away. What do you like better?
@@C10TruckNerd I have a ‘67 short fleet with small window, it’s being painted now,. I thought small window was the early ‘67 and mid year they went with big window.
@@peteJoseph-x3h sorry for the slow reply. The feds made GM go to the bigger window in 68 for safety (viewing area) concerns. Some late 67s could have had the big window as they were producing the 68s. Enjoy that 67 shorty! I bet it's awesome!
That’s a pretty cool ‘67! Even cooler to have all the history on it!!! Thanks for sharing all of the differences… there were way more than I knew about!
My Dad gave me the 1972 C-10 Deluxe. It was ten years old when he gave me the key. I drove for three years until I bought a new car. I wish that I had kept it. Year specific, it had a 307 engine. It was sweet back then.
Cool video! I also was born in 1967 but I fell in love with a 1969 3/4 4x4. We had a 1967 GMC 2 wheel drive short bed on the dairy. My dad and uncle bought it new and my cousin still has it. It is an A.C. truck with the 305 V6. Unfortunately the smog equipment ruined two engines in the truck (that's what I was told growing up). It had tall gears because it was used to drive to our pasture 25 miles away on a regular basis. This made it tough to get going when towing a 20' gooseneck trailer loaded with cattle despite having the granny 4 speed transmission. The truck suffered lots of body rot. In the late 80s they had it repaired and painted but it did stay a farm truck. However it is retired now and lives in town now. Do to the hard life on the ranch the rear half ton axle broke two shafts. I was 14 or 15 and just moving it in the yard after unloading calves when the axle broke for the 2nd time. Our local shop (Depot Garage) is where they bought the truck and dad asked if they could install a 3/4 rear axle. They said "no problem ". And they installed a Corporate 14 bolt full floating rear axle. It looked a little funny but it definitely got the job done. Thank you for the all knowledge on the year specific differences.
Thank you! The trucks are great, but the stories and all the memories tied to them are the best! The GMC 305 and 351 V6 was all torque! They sound like a tractor to me. I am ready to continue on with the year specific series. I have a nice 69 lined up I’m sure you will like! Thanks for sharing your stories and for watching!
I have a ‘67 LB I bought 7 years ago from Vanguard Motors in Michigan. I love it so much! It’s practically ‘done’. Only thing I have left is installing a Holly Sniper. ❤
That’s awesome! 67 was such a cool year. It will be even better with fuel injection! Shoot me some pics on the FB page if you have one. ItsTheChad71 As it is or when you get it finished.
Our 68 C10 with 327, 4 bbl, 4 speed had the same alternator brackets as your does. That C10 was picked up at the dealership November 67 just after thanksgiving. Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border.
I have a 1969 c-10 my dad bought new. Has factory air. It was in baby blue with the white cab. I had it painted the blue all over, updated the air, and put other new things. Also had an automatic transmission put in.
I lived in Tulsa from 1983 till 1990. I purchase a real solid, beautifully painted (brewster Green w/ added gold flake) 1972 GMC SNB around 84-85. I did some additional work (custom wheels & tires, floor shifter, roughrider seat cover, and gabriel coil over front shocks) and that was it. I loved and traveled with this truck many years.I moved to Arkansas in 1990; and wound up selling it to Jim Duggar (yes that Jim) in 1991; because I needed an off-road truck for the mountains. Anyways; I could swear this is the guy I purchased it from (actually; his Dad). He lived on 21st st. service road; between Yale and Sheridan.
@@C10TruckNerd That would be great, I'm 5 years older than Curt; so he would have been a Junior in high school then; and probably not happy that his Pop was selling it. lol. Let him know the truck is even better now; and still roaming the streets of North-West Arkansas these days. I'm glad I came across your channel; and have subscribed.
In 67 the grill area was the same color as the fenders but in 68 it was white . The heater control in my 67 was siver instead of black . My 67 was a wide rear window ,steel bed,a but front bumper and head light bezals we're painted white.but had a white roof and wheels the same color as the body. I had the bright body molding down the sides . My truck was 250 with a short shaft unsyncronized Three speed . I had an optional Oil bath air cleaner . Manual steering and manual brakes no air but an AM radio .my truck was a custom or CST trim package truck....I can't remember which. My seat was vinly with some designs stamped in it I think. The door panels and arm rest was like the one in the video but was red .Thanks for walking me down memory lane .
Good to know about the white nose! Such a cool year with all these year specifics. It’s pretty cool to see how these old trucks can bring folks together! I appreciate you sharing and thanks for watching!
My dad bought a 1967 C10 brand new in January of 1967. He passed away 10 years ago. I still have the truck, although it hasn't been driven I a long time. Mine is a Custom. Dad ordered the optional panoramic rear window. He also ordered it with a 220 hp 327 with a Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission. That's rare. It has a step bumper. In the 90s, I converted it to power disk brakes from a 1971 C10 donor truck. I plan to fully restore it at some point. It now has five lug wheels all around.. Dad also ordered the slave cylinder power steering system. When I did the power disk brakes, I also put the power steering from the 1971 donor on it. The rear axle housing is narrower on the 1967s (I think through 1970) by 1 and 1/2 inches than the 1970 and 1971. In order to use the five lug axles to match the disk brake setup, I had to change the rear axle housing. The crankshaft broke on the 327, so I built a 4-bolt main 350 with steel crank using 186 double Hump heads and flat top pistons.
That’s wonderful it’s still in the family! The trucks are great, but the memories tied to them are irreplaceable. A 67 big window 327 400 is rare! Neat options. You are right on axle lengths. 67 to mid year 70s 1.5 narrower. I’m glad you still have it and hope it continues to bring good memories! I appreciate you sharing and watching!
My brother has a small back window 67 his father in law bought new in Sept 66.. it was a radio delete stripped down 250 3 on the tree truck. It’s now a 454, t-10, with a barn wood flatbed on it. The original bed was rotten from hauling hay, and manure on the farm all those years. It’s a white top and orange body truck
Correction for you: some 1968 C10's came with the small rear window. No 1967's had side markers, so if you find one, it must be early 68. I have seen both 67 and 68 small window trucks. My old 67 GMC C10 had a steering shaft that had no joints and went straight to the steering box. I think thats a 2 year thing also. The sloped hood is the cool defining feature that sets them apart! As an aside, if you are converting to front disc brakes 5 lug, and want a 9 inch, find a 70's Montego, its 5 on 5 pattern and correct width to put 15x10 wheels and have them just inside the rear wheel opening.
I haven't seen a 68 small window in the wild. That doesn't surprise me though. It would have had to been an early or left over since Ralph Nader got involved with safety and they required the big window in 68 except for bigger trucks. I agree with you on the 67-68 hoods. Such a cool look! I hadn't heard about robbing a Montego. Neat idea.
WOW ! That was an informative video, Chad! I bought an abandoned, roofless 72 blazer a few months ago (it's a mess), so in my searches, your channel pops up a lot. I'll be renovating it on my channel as well. Again I really like your videos, always interesting with a kinda VGG vibe too! Fun videos! SUBBED!
Thank you! I just watched your unveiling of it. I love it! Light green has always been my favorite. K5s are getting hard to come by, so you scored big even if it needs a bunch of work. I’ve sub’d and will definitely keep up with the build. I dig your channel!
@@C10TruckNerd Thanks Chad! I've got a new vid all done just waiting for my sponsor's approval so I can make it public. I has a "Blazer update" in it. Hopefully it will launch tomorrow or Saturday. Thanks for the kind words and the sub, brother! -Lee
Early ‘68s had side reflectors…..no hole for a lamp. Caused me some trouble at inspection time…..inspector said: “your side markers don’t work”….I showed him the backside with no hole for the lamp. I did upgrade so as not to have the argument year after year.
You got it! Not required by the feds in trucks until the 70 model year. It’s not fun to have to educate the inspectors. I agree with adding them. Might as well make yourself more visible for all the distracted driver! Stay safe out there and thanks for watching!
67 was weird on having heat too. Even though 67 was the first year it was a standard feature, you still had to ask for it. It was almost treated like a no cost option. The interior paint was frequently sliver, that was also the base model paint, any other color would be an optional and listed on the SPID. The cigar lighter on later models had a large stainless piece of trim and was a bit recessed while the 67 (and possibly 68) was drilled and mounted directly to the dash. The recessed trim for the ignition switch was a smaller diameter on the 67 (and possibly 68) Not many people catch the lack of an accessory position on the ignition switch. The black painted wood floor lasted until mid 68 when they started painting it in body color. Passenger side sun visor was optional in 67 On the passenger side frame rail under the hood, about where the fuel pump was, the top of the C channel was flared up a little for big block clearance, not found on the 67. The paint on the top of the dash was flat paint, but that was all model years in this generation. I had noticed the different “print” on the backup lights but never knew the reasoning. I figured one was reproduction. Always did love this generation GM truck. Spent 1998 to 2012 daily driving a few of these trucks, would love another, but I think I want a 72 2 wheel drive blazer this time.
Good stuff! I didn’t realize the flare wasn’t in the 67 frame. Makes sense with no big block option. GM got it right with the 67-72s! Such a clean look. I hope you track down a Blazer! No many around here. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
@@C10TruckNerd yes. I found out about that when I was ordering something for my ‘67. I can’t remember what it was but it made a difference. I looked at the frame of my ‘68 and my ‘69 C10’s and they were definitely different. I have my ‘67 short bed step side for sale and I’m in the Nashville area if anyone is interested. It’s pretty custom and all the drive train is rebuilt. A 383 c.i. with a th350 trans. Large rear window with ‘68 front fenders. Disc brakes in front and 5 lug wheels.
Thank you! This was a super informative video, new subscriber here. I came across your channel researching info on my 67 C60. Although it's a medium duty truck so much is the same as C10-C-30. Thanks for the videos! Kevin
You said it! My father and I built a 71 when I was a teenager. I wouldn’t trade that time with him for anything. Those memories are what brought me back to these trucks years later.
Thanks for sharing the information it show me some thing I was not aware of I have a 1967 c10 of course I’ts a project I needing a bed a a hood but it’s a project and I’m the 3 owner thanks for all
You bet Dennis! 67 are great with all their year specifics. Keep it up and post some pics on the Facebook page once in a while. Facebook.com/ItsTheChad71
One more thing is the headlight switch. The front parking lights turn off when you turnnon the headlights. The switch itself is 1967-only, unless it carried over from the 66
You’re right! I filmed a clip of me showing that but forgot to add it. I did show it in the switches video. It’s weird why it does that. Most people think there is a problem with the wiring until they find out it’s supposed to be that way. I appreciate you sharing this!
Thanks for sharing. Love your 67. I have one of its twin sisters, except mine has the panaramic window and metal bed. I even put on the 4x4 ralley wheels like you did. I'd load a picture if i know how.
You’re welcome! The rallies look great on the 67-72’s. A 67 big window is pretty rare. You better hang onto that one. I don’t think you can upload to in the comments, but you can email me some pics if you want. If you click on my profile you can find it there. I’m sure Kurt would like to see it. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
The CST was the Silverado of 1967. It was the top of the line trim level from 1967 through 1970. In 1971, a new Cheyenne trim level was introduced & it became the new top of the line trim level until later in the 1971 model year when the new Cheyenne Super trim level was introduced & became the new top of the line trim level. The square body models which were the next generation fullsize truck models were the first to receive the Silverado trim level in 1975.
@C10TruckNerd yes & the 73-87s were actually 73-91s. The only models they stopped producing in 87 were the plain cab pickups "half ton & three quarter ton models only". But the one ton plain cab pickups on the other hand were still in production up through 89. Like the one ton plain cab pickups, the crew cab pickups, Suburbans, Blazers, & Jimmys were also still in production except they stayed in it up through 91.
Vermillion red is my favorite 67-68 color. I want a 67 C50 in Vermillion red, white 2 tone, and white budd wheels! The 67-72 chevy trucks are my favorites!
If I recall, that was a deep maroon correct? I don’t recall seeing that on a big truck. I hope you get to make that happen! You are right. Best year trucks GM produced if you ask me!
@@C10TruckNerd yeah, it was a copper burgundy! Ive seen maybe 3 trucks with it, all 68 making me belive its a rare color on the big trucks. Any color available on the small trucks in 67 was also available on the big trucks, the most common colors being: Red, white, blue, and green. Colors like Ivory and Vermillion and Orange ive seen very few of.
I have a 1967 GMC Open Road I bought it for $800 in Big Spring Texas the only problem is that it has a door cut in behind the passenger seat since it was a motorhome it has a 350 Oldsmobile Rocket motor it's such a beautiful truck other than the big hole in the back end
Welcome to the wonderful world of the coolest trucks ever made, 11 million made 1967-1972. No company has ever come close since.... I've had 5 clean & correct specimens of these bad boys! 1967 was the last year that GM did a tri-color offering, like yours. 1967 & 1968 are the most sought-after years of the 1967-1972 series. The '67/'68 hood is called a "shark nose". The tailgate ridge comment you mentioned is NOT 1967 only, 1968 did too... 1968 went to BIG back windows & panel marker lights because of the noise that consumer advocate Ralph Nader made about safety. GM has only made 500 BIG block 1/2 tons ever in their history, all were 396ci (250 were 4brl & 250 2brl intakes) in 1968, none of which were air conditioned. 1968 also had the limited edition 50th anniversary gold/white paint job on both long & short fleetsides. 1967 was the last year GM offered the wood bed as standard, in 1968, wood became an option & the steel bed was standard. In 1967 & 1968, GM offered the "Buddy" seat option, 1969 -1972 changed to a bucket seat w/ console option. Many more facts are available, feel free to call me to discuss....

@@C10TruckNerd bought it for $700 when I was 14. Don’t plan on selling it. It’s a camper special. Still a half ton with coils but has a helper leaf out back as well. Originally had a 283 but I dropped in a 496
I have a strange and somewhat rare C10. It is a 1970 CST, shortbed stepside heavy half ton so it has leaf springs in the back from the factory. It came with a 402BB, TH400, 12 bolt with factory limited slip, and factory 4.11:1. It is not an AC cab unfortunately.
No doubt about it! Just wish they would have known how bad the floors, corners and rockers would rust when they designed them! I couldn’t imagine how many hours you have put into these trucks. Glad you do though!
I have a 67 short bed small back window 4x4. I’ve owned it 20 yrs, this has taught me alot about it. But, mine has air. And it’s not underdash, it’s thru the dash and has factory AC controls. You did not mention if these yrs came w AC? Thank you !
@@C10TruckNerd thank you very much for responding. I knew it was rare- but not that rare! I’m fixin to restore it for my wife’s 40th in 3 yrs. It’ was blue like this one as I can see it on the underside of things as there are still most of its body parts in place after someone else did what they did before I bought it. But, the bed doesn’t look like it came w the body as it shows no blue anywhere rather a color that matches one misplaced/replaced front fender w a filled side marker in it, and the bed has tail lamps that were filled in as well. It also has a 350 in it and auto trans. How would I find out the original motor, trans and bed style ? I’m considering putting a step side on it but I’d like to maintain as much originality to it. I appreciate any info thank you very much. Great channel 👍🏼
interesting.. I have a true 67 numbers match cab and frame and my frame has the rounded area for powers steering. also don't have the extra hole on the steering Colum. going to have to do some more research since I was pretty sure the Colum was original. wonder if later built 67s had some changes.
Chad , I have a stock 67 C-20 it has just the white paint on the roof . and it has what looks like two alt brackets stuck together. what i did not know was that the seat can fold forward (a little ) I am going to look into that .I only have the truck 6 years ,
Good to know! The side seat hinge should be exposed in 67-68. 69-72 would be covered by the seat cover. I like that it folds just in case you need to access the gas tank.
Reach out to C10 Bob out of KC area. He has about every used part 67-72. Robert Bob Graham Jr on FB or KS C10 club. Tell him some goofball off UA-cam sent you!
I got a 67 c10 327 with the ac option. My grandfather left it to me. He knew I loved trucks. Motor seems like it should have more power being a 327. I checked everything and it's running great and smooth, just no guts when you hit the accelerator. Any clues?
That’s awesome it stayed in the family! The old truck 327 only pushed out about 200 HP new. She may be getting tired. Did you swap the plugs, wires or any of the dizzy stuff?
@@C10TruckNerd Yes they made so many different variations of this motor at the time so I figured I had the torque version, it being a truck with TH auto 3 speed. I ditched the points system and went with an HEI and of course new plugs and wires. Gonna put a new Edelbrock performer intake and swap out the 4jet Rochester with a Holley. Maybe in the near future a bolt on EFI system like Fi tech or Holley too. That should grant me an extra 40hp all together.
What about hubcaps year specific for 1967 c 20? Lots of differences between 10 and 20. I believe bow tie is red only on both and 3/4 ton had different dog bowls but not sure
You are correct. The back of the dog dish was a different size as for 8 lug. Could have been painted ivory or shiny metal. I do need to do a little more homework on them.
Also my 67 step side has 2 holes on the side of the cowl close to where the antenna comes out as if there was an emblem there… there on both sides ……any info? ..thanks
Also there were no seatbelts and it looks like they were none install from the factory because there were plastic plugs, inserted at the top mounting positions🤷🏼
I am guessing those small holes were for the local dealership that sold it. I have had several emblems there and also holes from dual antennas from CBs.
There should have been lap belts in all of them. Not saying there aren’t anomalies out there. Shoulder belts were an option. If they didn’t come optioned, they usually put in the plastic plug. Hope that made sense.
My truck is exactly like this but it is a GMC and has small back window, the same handle mirrors, same tailgate, no rear bumper, same raised hood, but has dual front head lights (2 on each side, instead of 1) i did some research and came across a reference that Elvis had the same exact model which did come with side markers, dual headlights and no rear bumper. If you have serious knowledge about this specific model of 1967 GMC truck please get in touch with me. I have so many questions.
That’s a super cool truck. I like how the 67 GMC had the letter in the center of the grille. 68 only. I do know that Elvis owned a 67 and drove it on his Ranch in Mississippi. Jay Leno owns it now. It has been restored since. It doesn’t have side markers and does have a rear bumper now. I’m not sure if it did back in the day. About a year ago, Jay Leno had Blake Shelton on his show and let Blake drive it since he is such an Elvis fan. Here is the link if you want to see it. ua-cam.com/video/21AGjWS4oQA/v-deo.html
hey Chad quick ? for you I have a 67 c10 custom 6 lug truck what color wheels came on those trucks, all ads from that time all show white wheels and my wheels are the blue like my truck but was painted black for some reason thanks for any help
I have found that the literature isn’t always set in stone. From the factory in 67 the wheels should be black with solid exterior paint and the wheels should be body color if a two tone. 68 and up were different along with 4wd and GMC. Not to say different factories and dealerships did their own things. Hope that makes sense.
Chad how do you check on a GMC 1971 model the headlights you know there’s four headlights when I turn. My headlights on all four lights are on like having been but when I hit my dimmer switch they just go all the way off what do I need to do?
Chad , Thanks for taking the time to make these Videos they are very helpful. I was wondering if you could tell me where I can find the paint code? on my 67 chevy C20 , I would like to paint it the factory color, my best guess is seafoam green???? Thanks Pete
You bet Pete! In 67-68 the sea foam color was called light green code 503. Not sure if your glovebox door still has the SPID on it. If it does it should say the color and possibly numbered 1503. If not, check out one of my videos called C10 Rescue. I brought home a 67 light green 503. See if it looks like yours. By far my favorite GM color!
I hope it’s original! That would be cool. Does the VIN on the frame and cab match? If you wouldn’t mind emailing me some pics of the vin plate, interior and an overall, I would like to help you find out. My email is on my main page.
They are 15x8 6 lug GM truck rallies with 3” beauty rings. They were off 73-87 trucks. If you’re interested, I have a few videos all about these wheels, center caps and how to restore a set on a budget. Thanks for watching!
They are out there still, but I rarely come across them. Most guys hold onto them. Most junk seats or frames will go for $500-$800 around here. Then you have to refinish them. I snagged some buckets out of suburbans and vans from the late 80s and 90s and were happy with them for a fraction of the price. With that said, buddies are really cool!
71 and 72 C10 never had a 396 in them, it was a 402 cubic inch, which was a 30 over 396, also the front fender badges stated 402. I know cuz my father bought one in 72 and I still on it.
@@C10TruckNerdnot all of them dead, in 1972 my dad drove to a dealership I was with him, purchase a 1972 Cheyenne super C10 with a 402 turbo 400 with a posi Trac differential, the truck had and still has 402 Fender badges, and if anybody wants to make a wage on that I still own the truck and I have pictures that was taken of the truck the same day he purchased it to prove it. Also there was a Texaco station in my hometown, and the owner had a wrecker with 402 Fender badges from the factory. So the myth of all C10 with a 402 had 400 badges that is a crock of crap. By the way I've been doing this stuff for over 50 years.

@@C10TruckNerd hi again. Thank you for your reply. I prefer original SWB and looking to spend under $20k. What do you think they are worth? One guy here in Phoenix has a rusty 67 that needs Everything and he won’t sell it for less than $6500. I think that is too much considering the money that it will need to get it running.
That’s a beautiful truck; I like the small back window. I purchased a ‘68 back in 1988 when I was 16, and I still own it!
That’s awesome! The stories that with the trucks are just as good as the trucks. Kurt ended up cutting old blue down into a short bed.
Beautiful 67, I have the same truck, color and all but with every option offered in 1967. A/C, Power brakes, Power steering, three-way seat, 327cid with the turbo 400 tranny, reverse rim chrome Moonies, large rear window, wood bed and more! I love my truck, I have had her for over 30 years and I will drive her about twice a year just for pleasure. The glove lid lists all these options, a real sweet example of what GM could do.
That sounds like an awesome truck! I've never come across a 67 big window with AC yet. Pretty rare combo! You've got yourself a C10 unicorn.
Same color, Big window ,AC cab,minus the wood bed!
‘67 small window is the Holy Grail of those trucks.

Thanks for sharing all of the differences… there were way more than I knew about!
Thanks! There were way more than I knew about as well.
My Dad gave me the 1972 C-10 Deluxe. It was ten years old when he gave me the key. I drove for three years until I bought a new car. I wish that I had kept it. Year specific, it had a 307 engine. It was sweet back then.
That’s cool! The trucks always come with a story!
Thank you for this video. Just picked up a 67 C10 SWB and this definitely helped identify some of the options my truck has!
Awesome and congrats! Super fun year with all the one offs! Enjoy it and thanks for watching!
Cool video! I also was born in 1967 but I fell in love with a 1969 3/4 4x4. We had a 1967 GMC 2 wheel drive short bed on the dairy. My dad and uncle bought it new and my cousin still has it. It is an A.C. truck with the 305 V6. Unfortunately the smog equipment ruined two engines in the truck (that's what I was told growing up). It had tall gears because it was used to drive to our pasture 25 miles away on a regular basis. This made it tough to get going when towing a 20' gooseneck trailer loaded with cattle despite having the granny 4 speed transmission. The truck suffered lots of body rot. In the late 80s they had it repaired and painted but it did stay a farm truck. However it is retired now and lives in town now. Do to the hard life on the ranch the rear half ton axle broke two shafts. I was 14 or 15 and just moving it in the yard after unloading calves when the axle broke for the 2nd time. Our local shop (Depot Garage) is where they bought the truck and dad asked if they could install a 3/4 rear axle. They said "no problem ". And they installed a Corporate 14 bolt full floating rear axle. It looked a little funny but it definitely got the job done. Thank you for the all knowledge on the year specific differences.
Thank you! The trucks are great, but the stories and all the memories tied to them are the best! The GMC 305 and 351 V6 was all torque! They sound like a tractor to me. I am ready to continue on with the year specific series. I have a nice 69 lined up I’m sure you will like! Thanks for sharing your stories and for watching!
Thanks for fun info, my base c-10 had a speed warning indicator . 6 cyl ,3 speed column ,tough as nails
Those speed warnings were cool! You can’t go wrong with a 3 speed 6 banger!
Watching from PEI Canada, Excellent Video Chad
Pretty cool to see how far the videos go! Thanks for sharing and for watching!
My 69 step was bought in 72 when I was only 14. 'Roadrunner' is right out side. 475000 miles!
Holy smokes! That’s impressive!
I have a ‘67 LB I bought 7 years ago from Vanguard Motors in Michigan. I love it so much! It’s practically ‘done’. Only thing I have left is installing a Holly Sniper. ❤
That’s awesome! 67 was such a cool year. It will be even better with fuel injection! Shoot me some pics on the FB page if you have one. ItsTheChad71 As it is or when you get it finished.
Our 68 C10 with 327, 4 bbl, 4 speed had the same alternator brackets as your does. That C10 was picked up at the dealership November 67 just after thanksgiving.
Hello from north east Montana.
10 miles from the Canadian border.
Super cool! I think it’s awesome to still have it after all these years. Does it have any other 67 specific parts?
I have a 1969 c-10 my dad bought new. Has factory air. It was in baby blue with the white cab. I had it painted the blue all over, updated the air, and put other new things. Also had an automatic transmission put in.
Outstanding! I love to hear it stayed in the family! The trucks are great but the stories and history is what it’s all about to me!
I lived in Tulsa from 1983 till 1990. I purchase a real solid, beautifully painted (brewster Green w/ added gold flake) 1972 GMC SNB around 84-85. I did some additional work (custom wheels & tires, floor shifter, roughrider seat cover, and gabriel coil over front shocks) and that was it. I loved and traveled with this truck many years.I moved to Arkansas in 1990; and wound up selling it to Jim Duggar (yes that Jim) in 1991; because I needed an off-road truck for the mountains. Anyways; I could swear this is the guy I purchased it from (actually; his Dad). He lived on 21st st. service road; between Yale and Sheridan.
Sounds like a great truck! I’ll try to find out.
@@C10TruckNerd That would be great, I'm 5 years older than Curt; so he would have been a Junior in high school then; and probably not happy that his Pop was selling it. lol. Let him know the truck is even better now; and still roaming the streets of North-West Arkansas these days. I'm glad I came across your channel; and have subscribed.
Hi Chad very great videos. I have a 67 k10 with 283 and I love it. Your videos rock.
I appreciate it! 67 K10s are getting pretty rare. I’d definitely hang onto that one! Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Great video
Thank you
I appreciate it!
Thanks for this video. I have a 67 K20, this will help me with the identification of parts I need. Look forward to viewing your other videos.
Thank you! It’s wild how much changed from year to year over the years. I have some pretty cool trucks lined up in the future! Thanks for watching!
I have a 1967 LWB as well. They are great C10 trucks
Such a great year!
In 67 the grill area was the same color as the fenders but in 68 it was white . The heater control in my 67 was siver instead of black . My 67 was a wide rear window ,steel bed,a but front bumper and head light bezals we're painted white.but had a white roof and wheels the same color as the body. I had the bright body molding down the sides . My truck was 250 with a short shaft unsyncronized Three speed . I had an optional Oil bath air cleaner . Manual steering and manual brakes no air but an AM radio .my truck was a custom or CST trim package truck....I can't remember which. My seat was vinly with some designs stamped in it I think. The door panels and arm rest was like the one in the video but was red .Thanks for walking me down memory lane .
Good to know about the white nose! Such a cool year with all these year specifics. It’s pretty cool to see how these old trucks can bring folks together! I appreciate you sharing and thanks for watching!
My dad bought a 1967 C10 brand new in January of 1967. He passed away 10 years ago. I still have the truck, although it hasn't been driven I a long time.
Mine is a Custom. Dad ordered the optional panoramic rear window. He also ordered it with a 220 hp 327 with a Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission. That's rare. It has a step bumper.
In the 90s, I converted it to power disk brakes from a 1971 C10 donor truck. I plan to fully restore it at some point. It now has five lug wheels all around.. Dad also ordered the slave cylinder power steering system. When I did the power disk brakes, I also put the power steering from the 1971 donor on it.
The rear axle housing is narrower on the 1967s (I think through 1970) by 1 and 1/2 inches than the 1970 and 1971. In order to use the five lug axles to match the disk brake setup, I had to change the rear axle housing.
The crankshaft broke on the 327, so I built a 4-bolt main 350 with steel crank using 186 double Hump heads and flat top pistons.
That’s wonderful it’s still in the family! The trucks are great, but the memories tied to them are irreplaceable. A 67 big window 327 400 is rare! Neat options. You are right on axle lengths. 67 to mid year 70s 1.5 narrower. I’m glad you still have it and hope it continues to bring good memories! I appreciate you sharing and watching!
My HS boyfriend had one of these! It was yellow! I ran into a pole while driving it! He wasn't mad!!
Oh no! He sounds like a patient guy! lol
I really dig the rally wheels on the 67-72.
I agree! They are timeless. GM got them right with these. They just look like they belong on the 67-72s.
My brother has a small back window 67 his father in law bought new in Sept 66.. it was a radio delete stripped down 250 3 on the tree truck. It’s now a 454, t-10, with a barn wood flatbed on it. The original bed was rotten from hauling hay, and manure on the farm all those years. It’s a white top and orange body truck
That sounds like a cool truck! I love hearing the history of these old C10s.
I have a 72 GMC found in a field I have had it two years almost done, very nice truck now.
That’s awesome! I love seeing one of these trucks being saved instead of rotting away! Keep up the good work!
I had a 70 c20, one of my favorite trucks of all time
They have such a classic look! Tough to beat.
Correction for you: some 1968 C10's came with the small rear window. No 1967's had side markers, so if you find one, it must be early 68. I have seen both 67 and 68 small window trucks. My old 67 GMC C10 had a steering shaft that had no joints and went straight to the steering box. I think thats a 2 year thing also. The sloped hood is the cool defining feature that sets them apart! As an aside, if you are converting to front disc brakes 5 lug, and want a 9 inch, find a 70's Montego, its 5 on 5 pattern and correct width to put 15x10 wheels and have them just inside the rear wheel opening.
I haven't seen a 68 small window in the wild. That doesn't surprise me though. It would have had to been an early or left over since Ralph Nader got involved with safety and they required the big window in 68 except for bigger trucks. I agree with you on the 67-68 hoods. Such a cool look! I hadn't heard about robbing a Montego. Neat idea.
Wow, I have a 69' C10 and didn't know there were that many differences. Good info 👍, nice truck!
Than you! I have a pretty sweet 69 lined up to highlight in the near future. Stay tuned!
Very nice 👍🏻 mines a 66’ swb big window & factory A/C $500. Back in 89’
It would be nice to go back in time and buy a bunch more for that price!!
@@C10TruckNerd tru -Them Days Are Gone -
I was Lucky 🍀 to have Found That One .
WOW ! That was an informative video, Chad! I bought an abandoned, roofless 72 blazer a few months ago (it's a mess), so in my searches, your channel pops up a lot. I'll be renovating it on my channel as well. Again I really like your videos, always interesting with a kinda VGG vibe too! Fun videos! SUBBED!
Thank you! I just watched your unveiling of it. I love it! Light green has always been my favorite. K5s are getting hard to come by, so you scored big even if it needs a bunch of work. I’ve sub’d and will definitely keep up with the build. I dig your channel!
@@C10TruckNerd Thanks Chad! I've got a new vid all done just waiting for my sponsor's approval so I can make it public. I has a "Blazer update" in it. Hopefully it will launch tomorrow or Saturday. Thanks for the kind words and the sub, brother! -Lee
Ive gotta 68 fleetside short bed. 250 inline 6 3 on the tree. i love it
Awesome! I have yet to own a full 68 out of all these trucks. What color do you have?
@@C10TruckNerd original color is that sea foam blue, now its a pastel yellow. drove it home from Long Beach Cali 20 years ago. Im from Cincinnati !
Early ‘68s had side reflectors…..no hole for a lamp. Caused me some trouble at inspection time…..inspector said: “your side markers don’t work”….I showed him the backside with no hole for the lamp. I did upgrade so as not to have the argument year after year.
You got it! Not required by the feds in trucks until the 70 model year. It’s not fun to have to educate the inspectors. I agree with adding them. Might as well make yourself more visible for all the distracted driver! Stay safe out there and thanks for watching!
67 was weird on having heat too. Even though 67 was the first year it was a standard feature, you still had to ask for it. It was almost treated like a no cost option.
The interior paint was frequently sliver, that was also the base model paint, any other color would be an optional and listed on the SPID.
The cigar lighter on later models had a large stainless piece of trim and was a bit recessed while the 67 (and possibly 68) was drilled and mounted directly to the dash.
The recessed trim for the ignition switch was a smaller diameter on the 67 (and possibly 68) Not many people catch the lack of an accessory position on the ignition switch.
The black painted wood floor lasted until mid 68 when they started painting it in body color.
Passenger side sun visor was optional in 67
On the passenger side frame rail under the hood, about where the fuel pump was, the top of the C channel was flared up a little for big block clearance, not found on the 67.
The paint on the top of the dash was flat paint, but that was all model years in this generation.
I had noticed the different “print” on the backup lights but never knew the reasoning. I figured one was reproduction.
Always did love this generation GM truck. Spent 1998 to 2012 daily driving a few of these trucks, would love another, but I think I want a 72 2 wheel drive blazer this time.
Good stuff! I didn’t realize the flare wasn’t in the 67 frame. Makes sense with no big block option. GM got it right with the 67-72s! Such a clean look. I hope you track down a Blazer! No many around here. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
@@C10TruckNerd yes. I found out about that when I was ordering something for my ‘67. I can’t remember what it was but it made a difference. I looked at the frame of my ‘68 and my ‘69 C10’s and they were definitely different. I have my ‘67 short bed step side for sale and I’m in the Nashville area if anyone is interested. It’s pretty custom and all the drive train is rebuilt. A 383 c.i. with a th350 trans. Large rear window with ‘68 front fenders. Disc brakes in front and 5 lug wheels.
The comment about the weird heat brought back memories when alot of cars and trucks were advertised as having "R&H" . Radio and heater. Cool old 67.
I had a 67 a 68 and a 70. I think out of the 3 my favorite was the 67, it was a CST withe a 327.I wish I still had it !
I agree with the 67. They just had so many unique things about them. Plus CST!!
Thank you! This was a super informative video, new subscriber here. I came across your channel researching info on my 67 C60. Although it's a medium duty truck so much is the same as C10-C-30. Thanks for the videos! Kevin
Thanks Kevin! 67 was such a cool and unique year! They started off the best 6 years of trucks if you ask me.
I learned to drive in a truck exactly like that one. One of many great memories with my grandfather I was blessed with.
You said it! My father and I built a 71 when I was a teenager. I wouldn’t trade that time with him for anything. Those memories are what brought me back to these trucks years later.
Thanks for sharing the information it show me some thing I was not aware of I have a 1967 c10 of course I’ts a project I needing a bed a a hood but it’s a project and I’m the 3 owner thanks for all
You bet Dennis! 67 are great with all their year specifics. Keep it up and post some pics on the Facebook page once in a while. Facebook.com/ItsTheChad71
Very nice video.
Thanks!
Chevro"LET", that grill is a show stopper for many Chevy guys. I had a 71 with the 400.
That truck was great! I loved how original it still was. 71 has always been my favorite year.
Was that a 402 big block, or a swapped in 400 small block?
One more thing is the headlight switch. The front parking lights turn off when you turnnon the headlights. The switch itself is 1967-only, unless it carried over from the 66
You’re right! I filmed a clip of me showing that but forgot to add it. I did show it in the switches video. It’s weird why it does that. Most people think there is a problem with the wiring until they find out it’s supposed to be that way. I appreciate you sharing this!
Thanks for sharing. Love your 67. I have one of its twin sisters, except mine has the panaramic window and metal bed. I even put on the 4x4 ralley wheels like you did. I'd load a picture if i know how.
You’re welcome! The rallies look great on the 67-72’s. A 67 big window is pretty rare. You better hang onto that one. I don’t think you can upload to in the comments, but you can email me some pics if you want. If you click on my profile you can find it there. I’m sure Kurt would like to see it. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Great content!
Thanks Justin! This is going to be a fun series to continue with. I’m getting to meet a lot of great folks and see some really cool trucks.
😎😎😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 I own a 1968 CST long bed and I love it 😎💯 in the past I have owned 19 C10 trucks
A 68 CST is a keeper for sure! Such cool trucks.
The CST was the Silverado of 1967. It was the top of the line trim level from 1967 through 1970. In 1971, a new Cheyenne trim level was introduced & it became the new top of the line trim level until later in the 1971 model year when the new Cheyenne Super trim level was introduced & became the new top of the line trim level. The square body models which were the next generation fullsize truck models were the first to receive the Silverado trim level in 1975.
You know your stuff! I couldn’t believe how many different models of 73-87s there were too.
@C10TruckNerd yes & the 73-87s were actually 73-91s. The only models they stopped producing in 87 were the plain cab pickups "half ton & three quarter ton models only". But the one ton plain cab pickups on the other hand were still in production up through 89. Like the one ton plain cab pickups, the crew cab pickups, Suburbans, Blazers, & Jimmys were also still in production except they stayed in it up through 91.
Sweet truck!
Yes it is! Since we filmed Kurt has put in a beautiful barn wood floor, new carpet and a lot of smalls. I am jealous for sure!
I took my hs prom date out in a 69 c10. 3 speed on the tree. 305 Good times. Mine was orange with white top and white headache rack.
I think one of the best parts of these old trucks is the memories that were made with them! Good stuff!
I think 72 is the best looking. My neighbor had one with a factory 400 small block!!
71-72 is my favorite! I love the egg crate grille and bowtie!
Vermillion red is my favorite 67-68 color. I want a 67 C50 in Vermillion red, white 2 tone, and white budd wheels! The 67-72 chevy trucks are my favorites!
If I recall, that was a deep maroon correct? I don’t recall seeing that on a big truck. I hope you get to make that happen! You are right. Best year trucks GM produced if you ask me!
@@C10TruckNerd yeah, it was a copper burgundy! Ive seen maybe 3 trucks with it, all 68 making me belive its a rare color on the big trucks. Any color available on the small trucks in 67 was also available on the big trucks, the most common colors being: Red, white, blue, and green. Colors like Ivory and Vermillion and Orange ive seen very few of.
In 1967 and 1968, the Chevrolet C10 pickup came with a 250 or 292 inline-6s, and 283, 307, 327 and 366 V8s, I had a 307 in mine.
I liked the 307. They didn’t last long though. I bet it was cool in 68 to see the 396 as an option in these trucks.
Hello thanks for info I just bought 67 c10 with small window but it’s sidestep..
Awesome! You can’t go wrong with a 67!
I have a 1967 GMC Open Road I bought it for $800 in Big Spring Texas the only problem is that it has a door cut in behind the passenger seat since it was a motorhome it has a 350 Oldsmobile Rocket motor it's such a beautiful truck other than the big hole in the back end
That sounds cool! Shoot me a few pics on FB or email if you don’t mind. Facebook.com/ItsTheChad71
Holy cow you were only 2 hours from me I’m in Kansas
I’m out of Wichita. Kurt and I became buddies because of this truck. It was so cool I asked if I could capture it. Where are you?
Welcome to the wonderful world of the coolest trucks ever made, 11 million made 1967-1972. No company has ever come close since....
I've had 5 clean & correct specimens of these bad boys! 1967 was the last year that GM did a tri-color offering, like yours. 1967 & 1968 are the most sought-after years of the 1967-1972 series. The '67/'68 hood is called a "shark nose". The tailgate ridge comment you mentioned is NOT 1967 only, 1968 did too... 1968 went to BIG back windows & panel marker lights because of the noise that consumer advocate Ralph Nader made about safety. GM has only made 500 BIG block 1/2 tons ever in their history, all were 396ci (250 were 4brl & 250 2brl intakes) in 1968, none of which were air conditioned. 1968 also had the limited edition 50th anniversary gold/white paint job on both long & short fleetsides. 1967 was the last year GM offered the wood bed as standard, in 1968, wood became an option & the steel bed was standard. In 1967 & 1968, GM offered the "Buddy" seat option, 1969 -1972 changed to a bucket seat w/ console option. Many more facts are available, feel free to call me to discuss.... Rick at 720-three nine two-3420
Outstanding! I will be in touch soon!
My 67 is the same colo combo. 507 light blue with the white top. I have the optional big back glass though
That’s even more rare with the big window! Hang onto that one!
@@C10TruckNerd bought it for $700 when I was 14. Don’t plan on selling it. It’s a camper special. Still a half ton with coils but has a helper leaf out back as well. Originally had a 283 but I dropped in a 496
I have a strange and somewhat rare C10. It is a 1970 CST, shortbed stepside heavy half ton so it has leaf springs in the back from the factory. It came with a 402BB, TH400, 12 bolt with factory limited slip, and factory 4.11:1. It is not an AC cab unfortunately.
That thing should be a tank! I don't know I've seen a highly optioned (CST) with leafs and and 4:11s. I bet that thing can tow a house.
1967-1972: Specifically, the best years of Chevy trucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No doubt about it! Just wish they would have known how bad the floors, corners and rockers would rust when they designed them! I couldn’t imagine how many hours you have put into these trucks. Glad you do though!
I have a 67 short bed small back window 4x4. I’ve owned it 20 yrs, this has taught me alot about it. But, mine has air. And it’s not underdash, it’s thru the dash and has factory AC controls. You did not mention if these yrs came w AC?
Thank you !
You bet and thanks for the support! AC in 67 was a very rare option. Only about 3% came with it, so you’ve got a good one being a swb 4x4!
@@C10TruckNerd thank you very much for responding. I knew it was rare- but not that rare! I’m fixin to restore it for my wife’s 40th in 3 yrs. It’ was blue like this one as I can see it on the underside of things as there are still most of its body parts in place after someone else did what they did before I bought it. But, the bed doesn’t look like it came w the body as it shows no blue anywhere rather a color that matches one misplaced/replaced front fender w a filled side marker in it, and the bed has tail lamps that were filled in as well. It also has a 350 in it and auto trans. How would I find out the original motor, trans and bed style ? I’m considering putting a step side on it but I’d like to maintain as much originality to it. I appreciate any info thank you very much. Great channel 👍🏼
I enjoyed it
Thanks! So many cool one offs in 67.
interesting.. I have a true 67 numbers match cab and frame and my frame has the rounded area for powers steering. also don't have the extra hole on the steering Colum. going to have to do some more research since I was pretty sure the Colum was original. wonder if later built 67s had some changes.
That’s cool! I bet it was a late 67. Check the last 6 of the VIN for the sequence number (build). Might be a high number if so.
13:08 Oh, nevermind.
No problem!
Chad , I have a stock 67 C-20 it has just the white paint on the roof . and it has what looks like two alt brackets stuck together. what i did not know was that the seat can fold forward (a little ) I am going to look into that .I only have the truck 6 years ,
Good to know! The side seat hinge should be exposed in 67-68. 69-72 would be covered by the seat cover. I like that it folds just in case you need to access the gas tank.
Love the video! What size tires is on the rally’s? Also is it sitting at factory ride hight?
I appreciate it! 255/70/15s. The truck at the time had 2.5” drop spindles and 4” springs.
Can you please make a video of how to run the wire and connect your dome light. Thank you
Will do. I’ll try to get on it sooner than later if I can! Thanks for the idea!
Do you know where I could find the frond driver fender for a 1969-1972 near Kansas City by chance? And I’m looking for a tailgate in good shape
Reach out to C10 Bob out of KC area. He has about every used part 67-72. Robert Bob Graham Jr on FB or KS C10 club. Tell him some goofball off UA-cam sent you!
You can buy new fenders and you can buy new cab with doors to for the 1967 to 1972 chevy C10
I’ve got a 66 that I put in a 5.0 Coyote with a 2.9 L whipple supercharger.
Sweet! Having the reliability of new technology has to be nice.
I got a 67 c10 327 with the ac option. My grandfather left it to me. He knew I loved trucks. Motor seems like it should have more power being a 327. I checked everything and it's running great and smooth, just no guts when you hit the accelerator. Any clues?
That’s awesome it stayed in the family! The old truck 327 only pushed out about 200 HP new. She may be getting tired. Did you swap the plugs, wires or any of the dizzy stuff?
@@C10TruckNerd Yes they made so many different variations of this motor at the time so I figured I had the torque version, it being a truck with TH auto 3 speed. I ditched the points system and went with an HEI and of course new plugs and wires. Gonna put a new Edelbrock performer intake and swap out the 4jet Rochester with a Holley. Maybe in the near future a bolt on EFI system like Fi tech or Holley too. That should grant me an extra 40hp all together.
What about hubcaps year specific for 1967 c 20? Lots of differences between 10 and 20. I believe bow tie is red only on both and 3/4 ton had different dog bowls but not sure
You are correct. The back of the dog dish was a different size as for 8 lug. Could have been painted ivory or shiny metal. I do need to do a little more homework on them.
Also my 67 step side has 2 holes on the side of the cowl close to where the antenna comes out as if there was an emblem there… there on both sides ……any info? ..thanks
Also there were no seatbelts and it looks like they were none install from the factory because there were plastic plugs, inserted at the top mounting positions🤷🏼
I am guessing those small holes were for the local dealership that sold it. I have had several emblems there and also holes from dual antennas from CBs.
There should have been lap belts in all of them. Not saying there aren’t anomalies out there. Shoulder belts were an option. If they didn’t come optioned, they usually put in the plastic plug. Hope that made sense.
Do you know what color blue is in the cab? That's what I have and want to repaint
Sounds like you found it.
My truck is exactly like this but it is a GMC and has small back window, the same handle mirrors, same tailgate, no rear bumper, same raised hood, but has dual front head lights (2 on each side, instead of 1) i did some research and came across a reference that Elvis had the same exact model which did come with side markers, dual headlights and no rear bumper. If you have serious knowledge about this specific model of 1967 GMC truck please get in touch with me. I have so many questions.
That’s a super cool truck. I like how the 67 GMC had the letter in the center of the grille. 68 only. I do know that Elvis owned a 67 and drove it on his Ranch in Mississippi. Jay Leno owns it now. It has been restored since. It doesn’t have side markers and does have a rear bumper now. I’m not sure if it did back in the day. About a year ago, Jay Leno had Blake Shelton on his show and let Blake drive it since he is such an Elvis fan. Here is the link if you want to see it. ua-cam.com/video/21AGjWS4oQA/v-deo.html
hey Chad quick ? for you I have a 67 c10 custom 6 lug truck what color wheels came on those trucks, all ads from that time all show white wheels and my wheels are the blue like my truck but was painted black for some reason thanks for any help
I have found that the literature isn’t always set in stone. From the factory in 67 the wheels should be black with solid exterior paint and the wheels should be body color if a two tone. 68 and up were different along with 4wd and GMC. Not to say different factories and dealerships did their own things. Hope that makes sense.
I have 67 with a v6 looks to be original but I can’t find information on it. Can you help ?
Is it a GMC or Chevy? GMCs were offered with a 305 and 351 v6 through 1970.
Chad how do you check on a GMC 1971 model the headlights you know there’s four headlights when I turn. My headlights on all four lights are on like having been but when I hit my dimmer switch they just go all the way off what do I need to do?
Sorry for the delay! I bet your dimmer switch is bad. I’ve lost my headlights a couple times when I hit the high beams switch.
Chad , Thanks for taking the time to make these Videos they are very helpful. I was wondering if you could tell me where I can find the paint code? on my 67 chevy C20 , I would like to paint it the factory color, my best guess is seafoam green???? Thanks Pete
You bet Pete! In 67-68 the sea foam color was called light green code 503. Not sure if your glovebox door still has the SPID on it. If it does it should say the color and possibly numbered 1503. If not, check out one of my videos called C10 Rescue. I brought home a 67 light green 503. See if it looks like yours. By far my favorite GM color!
Truck or no truck i got my chevrolegs.
Lol
My friend bought a new 350 350 back in early 70s, had ta get rid of it, terrible gas hog, needed a overdrive gear.
Yeah. They weren’t so economical back then. At least we have 200 and 700r4s now we can put in for OD.
I have a 68 GMC K1500 with a small window cab. Appears not to be a cab swap, original paint. What do you think? Good fake or GM using an existing cab.
I hope it’s original! That would be cool. Does the VIN on the frame and cab match? If you wouldn’t mind emailing me some pics of the vin plate, interior and an overall, I would like to help you find out. My email is on my main page.
Do you happen to know what size rims/tires he had on the truck? Looks perfect, I’ve been trying to find the right look for my 67
They are 15x8 6 lug GM truck rallies with 3” beauty rings. They were off 73-87 trucks. If you’re interested, I have a few videos all about these wheels, center caps and how to restore a set on a budget. Thanks for watching!
@@C10TruckNerd thank you! I’ll take a look
Is it hard to get a set of buddy buckets seats for a 67 ? And or how much is the price range
They are out there still, but I rarely come across them. Most guys hold onto them. Most junk seats or frames will go for $500-$800 around here. Then you have to refinish them. I snagged some buckets out of suburbans and vans from the late 80s and 90s and were happy with them for a fraction of the price. With that said, buddies are really cool!
@@C10TruckNerd thanks chad GOD BLESS take care 👍🏼
71 and 72 C10 never had a 396 in them, it was a 402 cubic inch, which was a 30 over 396, also the front fender badges stated 402.
I know cuz my father bought one in 72 and I still on it.
Sorry if I mis-spoke . 70-72s had 402s. The fender badges actually said 400 even though they were 402s. Interesting why GM did that with the badging.
@@C10TruckNerdnot all of them dead, in 1972 my dad drove to a dealership I was with him, purchase a 1972 Cheyenne super C10 with a 402 turbo 400 with a posi Trac differential, the truck had and still has 402 Fender badges, and if anybody wants to make a wage on that I still own the truck and I have pictures that was taken of the truck the same day he purchased it to prove it.
Also there was a Texaco station in my hometown, and the owner had a wrecker with 402 Fender badges from the factory.
So the myth of all C10 with a 402 had 400 badges that is a crock of crap.
By the way I've been doing this stuff for over 50 years.
Is this the factory exhaust? Or has there been some mods to the exhaust?
Still running the original exhaust manifolds, but added glass packs and chrome tips.
Didn’t know how many parts ware 67 only
I was really surprised once I started my research. I think that’s what makes them so cool.
@@C10TruckNerd
Did you happen to do year specific videos for each year of these?
1967 to 1972 easy to work on you can change the heater core in 2 hours' time and now you can buy a new cab with doors for the C10 1967 1972
You are right! As long as you have a good cab and frame, everything else is a bolt on. Such a classic look!
@@C10TruckNerd The best engine to put in the C10 is the 350 it is a work horse
@@C10TruckNerd The 1996 flare side bed looks good on the 1967 1972 chevy C10
Who makes the new cabs with doors??
What year did GM go from 6 bolt to 5 bolt on the 1/2 ton 2wd trucks? My 69 Suburban has six. Was it 1970?
1971. They went to 5 lug and front disc brakes.
Any one have any idea what size those tires might be ?
He had 255/60/15 all around on that 67.
I have a 68 C10 and a 69c10 and a factory 69c30
Lucky! You just need a C20 to finish the list off. Which one is your favorite?
My 69 C30 1 ton dually it's got a Big Block with a 4speed trans and front disc brakes
I'm working on my 68 I'm building it into a 1 ton srw Long Horn 4x4
@@C10TruckNerd my 69 C30 is favorite it's a dually with a big block, 4 speed Trans and disc brakes
Do you have the wiper transmission for a 70
Had a horse that scrubbed his hoof on the ground that way. Had to put him down.
Darn animals!
Was this truck lowered at all and if it was how much?
2.5” front 4” rear
Do you think 5k is a good deal for one of these? Just needs paint
If it is running and driving and only needs paint. Yes! The market is really hot on these right now.
Had the small back window first car gmc
Such a cool year with all one offs!
I'm looking for a 68 short bed gmc anywhere near south carolina
You are better off to get one that is not restored and buy the new cab with doors and fenders and use the 1996 flare side bed on
Yea that's what I've found so far but every one I see is long bed
Are you looking for an investment build? If not, cut a long bed down. There were so many more produced. Especially in the GMC flavor. Just a thought.
@@C10TruckNerd it's mostly sentimental my dad built my uncle a green 68 short bed it had old rally sport steels with beauty rings with a homemade wood bed it left us with a 400 sbc and a rock crusher trans I grew up with it and I want to bring it back
@@C10TruckNerd I watched them home make a wood bed for it and from what I was always told short beds never came with the wood slat bed it was just a fun time in my child hood watching them spray it in the old barn and hear the old Nascar side exit boom sticks rumble with that cam I loved that thing haha sorry for rambling
i have a 68 and my kid has a 67 and i like the 68 better but my kid likes the 67 better but my rig going to be a ss knock of rusto mod i have the factory 327 and 400 turbo but put in a stroke 454 with a 02xx trans
Both great years! Rusto Mod is great! Cool to see both of you having these trucks. That’s what it’s all about. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
I have a 67 3 qrt ton chev pickup 283 4 speed all complete ugly green in color been shedded for years
A 67 in green sounds good to me! I don't know why I like all the green ones.
I'm looking for a 68 Chevy Pickup truck do have one for Sale 3/4 ton
I am completely out of doors right now.
my 68 has the same vents knobs astray same same rearview 68 has much better grille trim
I would believe it. A lot of early 68s still used 67 parts. Is your rear view mirror bracket black or argent silver?
it's silver . i filled in the front marker lights so that the fenders look like a 67, but i kept the rear ones other than the big back window and fancy grille trim it's pretty much identical.@@C10TruckNerd

Nope. I’m just a Moron with a truck! 😉
Do you have any trucks for sale?
I don’t right now. Kurt will have that Cheyenne for sale soon. What part of the country are you?

Hi do you know anyone selling a 67 or 68 SWB C10?
What price range and a original swb or is a cutdown an option?
@@C10TruckNerd hi again. Thank you for your reply. I prefer original SWB and looking to spend under $20k. What do you think they are worth? One guy here in Phoenix has a rusty 67 that needs Everything and he won’t sell it for less than $6500. I think that is too much considering the money that it will need to get it running.
