Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

My '68 CST short wide with 396, T400, bucket seats, A/C, PS, PB...yeehaw!
Needs a total resto...coming up soon after I finish my gasser.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

I'll have to dig up pics on my other computer, but I had a 71 Cheyenne 20 with the 400/402 big block and th400. It was a low option Cheyenne. It only had the belt molding, was all one color (med bronze) and really seemed like a bare bones truck other than the motor and trans option.

It's parts made it to other trucks, so it is dead and gone but some of it lives on! The cab went on a 69 K10 frame, the motor went to a guy in Kansas and the trans is waiting to go in my Nova.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

Thanks for the additions everyone! A special thanks to JQ-71. The registry is definitely starting to take shape. I need to go back over everything and re run the numbers to see if the statistics are starting to change.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

Impressive JQ!

Thanks for the addition Yote1234. I have gotten a little behind on the registry but will soon have some time to get it caught back up.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

This is pretty cool. If it can grow over the next few years we could almost estimate how many BB trucks are still out there on the road!

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

Here's my 68' LWB CST with a BBC. This is pretty much as it sits. Maybe with a little more rust now but it's waiting for a restoration.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

I hope this thread is still going, its a great idea. My 71 Super long bed originally from Texas and SPID (little faded)

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!

My 72, doesn't have much on there, but excited to know more about it now. Mine is alive (even if it does have electrical gremlins) and went for a drive yesterday with it. Anyone know how to see what rear it is supposed to have on there or just look underneath?

Well... Technical difficulties due to user error.... :censored:

Ok, let's try this again only using my laptop instead of iPad... I found it interesting that there were instructions on how to start the engine right next to it... Of all the years having the truck and riding in the truck as a kid when my great uncle had it, I had never noticed it before. Glad now he was so meticulous about everything and kept it on there.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

I learn something new about this truck every day.
1971 GMC sierra grande custom camper longhorn(or whatever the hell you call it), 402 BB, tool box, & wood bed. Have yet to find one like mine. Crazy how many different options they had back then.

P.S. Find me a matching tailgate and I might buy you a case of beer.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

Thanks for all of the new additions everyone! I will sit down this week and get everything recorded.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

My Longhorn. I have a 69 C10 BB I'll submit later.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

Mine

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

I can't believe we have all of these big blocks and not a SINGLE photo of the 1970 400 valve cover decal. I'll put a pic of mine below again, but please, if you have a picture of a good original that we could use for commissioning a reproduction, please contact me.

We cannot allow the community to continue to use "Invader 400" stickers from the GMC Sprint. We do not drive Chevelles, we drive trucks!

Anyhow, here are some pics. The old looking picture is from when it was new. The two people are the original owners (Mr. and Mrs. Klotthor, per the ProtectOPlate), not related to me, but I think their grandson is actually on the board.

In the second-last photo you'll see door edge guards; they're really just mylar tape. The photo is a mockup I made to decide if I wanted the guards back on. I don't think I will, but needed to see it to decide.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

1971 Low option Super truck.

Vehicle runs and drives. Will be restored.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

I just bought this '71 Sierra Grande, which, like some, has a callout on the SPID for Cheyenne Super Truck rather than Sierra Grande.

Off the road since 1996, it appears very close to original, with the deviations being a Holley carburetor, headers, aftermarket radio, and later Rally Wheels.

I plan to spend about a year returning it to its former glory so it can join my '78 GMC Sierra in the driving stable.l

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

I've got to find the guys phone number and see if he had the decency to save it from the crusher, but I guy I know about 80 miles from me had a 68 CST that originally had a 396/auto, if I remember right, it was an A/C cab and a shortbox, but it may have been a LWB. He had it in a junk yard, so I know it can be bought if it's still around, and I've got this sweet running 454 that would be just plain awesome in that truck.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

Ttt please people add pics of glove box label and big block trucks, thanks.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

Here ya go. I picked this one up today.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
 

Thanks for the additions! Getting them all documented.

Re: Starting a Registry for BB trucks!
