Re: You can only choose one, period!

1967 v8 (327) c20 4x4 panel.
Winch/bumper, hooks (F/R), buckets, barn doors, radio/cb
Gm accessory roof rack to carry gear (chainsaws,tent etc). Interior spare tire well (both sides). Swing away with Jerry cans/water.
Most importantly some groovy heart shaped bubble windows (just kidding not my style)
CG That's what I want today. Ask again tomorrow and a k20 in a different configuration of another year might be the choice. Always a K20/k30 tho.

Re: You can only choose one, period!

Lets see, to start off with its a 68 C10 V8 700R4 prw strg pow brks and last of all a short step. But I also like the same in a 64-66 C10 or my old 55 3100 327 4spd small back window and a short step.

Re: You can only choose one, period!

Mine would be a 1972 wood box floor C10 4 x 2 Black with White roof Cheyenne Super LWB fleetside with parchment interior, buckets and console and a 1968 front clip. I'd want it fully loaded with the chrome rear bumper with BB and auto trans and A/C, tilt, AM-FM radio, cargo light etc. and all the nice little options that make it loaded. I'd try to make it a 2 spid truck because there would be enough room for everything on the one spid.

Re: You can only choose one, period!

I only have one old ride that is stock and that is my 72 El Camino SS and the only reason it is still stock is it's too nice to change it yet .My trucks all get done my way ,looks stock sort of but not. I like them all as far as looking at them but I dont want another lowered one .My 93 Indy truck was lowered when I bought it but it may not stay that way ,rides too rough.

Re: You can only choose one, period!

I have it, and I haven't seen better for me. 1969 CST/10 long bed fleet side with tired factory stance and tired original paint job, not very many dents, plain factory wheels, correctly running engine and transmission, and a tailgate that works. Mine is the original 350 with TH400, both rebuilt, but I don't think I would be disappointed with some other combination, anything will do if it runs, but I do prefer automatic transmission. Someday I will get the air conditioning and door and window weatherstripping done. I predict it will be the first and last pickup truck for me, but you never know.

Re: You can only choose one, period!

I'm really glad to see there are still a lot of people still like long bed factory stance trucks. I would have thought this thread would have been all been short bed lower 1/2 ton that were dragging the ground. so good to see it is not.

Re: You can only choose one, period!

CG is asking what configuration from the factory would you pick, not how would you build one. That's why you aren't seeing a bunch of "Slammed to the ground" or any other modifications mentioned. He's pretty much just asking what "model", as they all have different model numbers by these items asked about. Trim level fits, too, because that was another choice when buying new. I wish I could have ordered a new truck back then. I did order a '92 and when I did it was like I was building what I would have wanted in '72

Re: You can only choose one, period!

Just one? Well if it was just one it would be a 1957 Napco GMC Suburban with the 347 V-8. I passed on one years ago and still kick my self. But there were real issues with it, not the least was the home made nine foot wide snow plow on the front end and the foot square hole in the center of the dash where the hydraulic controls stuck out. And after decades of snow plowing I was sure there were unseen issues. But seeing the prices they go for now it would have been worth it. Hope this doesn't get me baned from the forum. I do like my 67 Suburban, so don't hate me too much.

Re: You can only choose one, period!

Chevy would probably have too many problems trying to do it, but I thought it would be really neat if they made a reproduction edition modern truck. Let's say they built a 1967 reproduction in 2017, using the exact same and interchangeable body parts. I would forgive them for putting in it a modern engine and modern air conditioning and other features such as antilock brakes, air bag, etc. You mentioning hybrid is what made me think of it. That sort of hybrid could be my one and only.

Re: You can only choose one, period!

I've had a lot, even at one time, and I'm sorry but it's two for me and that's it for good! So, my last "ONE" are a '67 C1500 Super Custom SWB Wideside 327/manual shift and a '72 K2500 Sierra Wideside 350/TH350. It will be earlier years from now on

Re: You can only choose one, period!

This has been an interesting thread for me. Really surprised at the choices, they seem to be more for utilitarian trucks than hot rod show type rides.

I'm at a bit of a fork in the road for what I can do with my projects. Ive never been one to finish a ride. I think I'm more of a collector of projects and when I see something else Ill add it to the collection of junk lol. I do let stuff go now and again too, mostly at a loss though haha (that was a sad haha).

Retirement is getting close now and I think I would really like to have a couple of finished classic rides, a car and a truck. The funny thing is I'm actually leaning towards a short box two wheel drive truck. Of all the answers here that was the least chosen.

I have the very cool 68 GMC K20 I got from Livrat, I have a 72 Burb K10 that I have been piecing together, and lastly a 72 K10 shorty, but I also have a 2 wheel drive chassis for it to make it a C10. I'm not that fond of the shorty 4x4's ... Even though there are a lot of beautiful ones on the board =)

My wife suggested I really think about getting rid of most of my stuff now. And before you guys say of course she did lol, she has a good point. My MIL is 87 now and most of my large stuff is stored out in the family barns. Chances are good when she passes the farm will be sold to someone that isn't family. I don't want to have to scramble when she passes. As of now she is in excellent health, but you never know what could happen.
