1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor

[Dmoore]

Let me be up front with you guys now, I do not own this truck. It was bought to me for AC repair by an owner who was partners with Ron Divine of BK Racing. Google or Youtube it. Partnership dissolved, Ron owed him $$$ and gave him this truck instead.

You can post five pictures in a thread, but you have to upload one at a time first.

Is there any mention of tire size at all on the SPID? The hubcaps would be chrome. There were only dog dich caps for 8-luggers, chrome or painted, and the CST came with chrome. What does it have for a spare. Often times the spare is an original, or at least mounted on the original wheel. The truck could have 16" or 16.5". That sure is a great truck you have there!

Standard 69 C20 wheel size is 16.5 x 6 with 8.75-16.5 tires. Optional widths were 6.75 abd 8.25. 16" wheel also available with 7.50 or 6.50-16 tire.
Tim I'm not following the load the one at a time note - I've never clicked upload more than the one final time, regardless of number of pictures (up to 5). Can you elaborate? I may not be familiar with that, curious.

would like to see a picture of the SPID when you have a chance - the sticker in the glovebox door. real nice truck.

As soon as the new owner brings her back to replace the mufflers/tailpipes. It's time!

[Dmoore]

I have an original tag connection and obtained these for the new owner. He was elated. And they are truck tags to boot.

[Dmoore]

I need your guy's help on locating a extremely nice original jack ,tools & bag or an NOS set. Yeah, good luck right?

This needs some original steelies and some NOS hubcaps. Super cool.

This is what I need to know guys! Why I'm here! I have scoured over original 69 brochures, factory photo's online, etc. I have seen white painted wheels with FULL hubcaps, silver painted wheels with s/s dog dish, and two other types of dog dish. What should this 69 C20, CST have?

[Dmoore]

Obviously white painted steel wheels against black does not look good, IMO. If it were mine I would have argent painted wheels and those s/s 12" dog dish caps with the blue bowtie just like the one on the forward hood.

[68bowtie]

I believe this is the factory setup…

[Dmoore]

Hmmmm, Am I looking at white painted steel wheels with aluminum dog dish? The blue bowtie makes sense matching the one on forward hood.

[Dmoore]

Question can you tell if that is a CST package? I ask because no chrome bumpers.

[Dmoore]

And would the CST package dictate wheel color and center cap type?

I believe they are chromed pot metal but they could be stainless. They wohave a blue bowtie for sure.

Oh I just meant wheel/tire setup. The truck I pictured has CST emblems but bot sure if that was original to that truck.

[Dmoore]

That a 68???

The side marker lights are diff

Very nice and thanks for sharing. The snorkel on the air cleaner looks shorter than my 69 396 C20. I'm no expert by any means though.

[jocko]

you beat me to it Joe - and although difficult to tell with the small pics when I blow them up a bit, they appear to be mounted too far fwd for a stock 71-72 mount location. If there are no original mirror holes on the doors present (I can't tell in the pics) then it is an indication of a repaint. Went on a fishing expedition for 72-only vent window dimples, but none of the pics capture that area clearly enough.

Dmoore, we'll be a lot more help when you get a chance to post the SPID and maybe figure out how to post some larger overall pictures (I realize you don't have the truck handy at the moment, but when it shows up, that'd be very helpful). Very sharp and very interesting truck you've shared, looking forward to more!

Isn't it possible that because of the fact that it has painted bumpers it would more than likely had painted caps, I say that without seeing the SPID

[Dmoore]

I was referring to the photo example posted. Mine of course has chrome bumpers front & rear with front bumper guards as well. But I understand your point.

[68bowtie]

69-70

[jocko]

That is a 69 C20 CST. Edit - sorry 68bowtie! I was typing while you were posting, you beat me to it

[68bowtie]

All good, I found those pics from an old post of yours, I figured you might chime in.

[cwcarpenter98]

That's a beautiful truck. I'm sure the new owner will be quite pleased.
