So for some time I have been looking all over for a cool 67 to 72 dually to resto mod ya like the ones in fast and ferrous but I actually wanted mine for towing my horse trailer. Now from everything I have seen and read the 157 inch wheel base didn't start until 70. Or more accurately the production numbers aren't known for 1969 and then we have them for 1970 and other. Words. I was told by another collector that if the production number isn't listed but have aren't model number and other info that means usually less then 1000 where made. Now I attached a photo that the seller sent me from what I can decode this is a original dually from 1969 right? The owner says he got it as as 68 but the hood wasn't correct.

The SPID approves that it is an original dually glove box door. They made the 157" wheelbase way before '70. I have a factory '65 and a '67 in the 157" wheel base model. They are great for haulers. Usually low mileage and in decent shape from not sitting on the ground.

Fair enough I was just trying to look up the numbers for 69 and nothing shows up just trying to see how rare this thing is it seems lower then 1000 for them not to include it in the production numbers for chevy and this thing has a special paint and I kinda love the bright lime green ha ha ha

157" WB one tons are a standard model made since way way back. That is what you will find under a 12' stake body. GM offered those as an option as well.
