And also due to lack of factory literature on these trucks.1966 CHevy pickups have SPIDS, 1966 GMC pickups do not have SPIDS. It may have taken till mid in the model run at some assembly plants for '67 GMC pickups to have SPIDS. The firewall interior paint is common on some East Coast assembly plants ( especially Ponitac Mi .) and some mid West assembly plants. If this truck was built in Fremont, firewall would have been body color. Here is a period '67 photo of a '67 GMC with the same trim level. It has the same painted hubaps, but wheels are 17" instead of the 16" on the low mileage pickup. It is a 1 ton chassis cab also, instead of a 3/4 pickup, should be the same trim rules. I believe this truck should go to a museum for sure. General Motors, if they were smart should be contacting you, not the other way around, for the price they spend on a 30 sec commercial. Taking a truck like this out on the road is too much of a risk, only takes a second,being at the wrong place at the wrong time, for its value to plummet.

Without getting technical about it I was simply stating "it is odd it has painted hubcaps". I didn't say anything about them not being correct. It is most common to see a Custom with chrome hubcaps "optioned", which would also be "correct". I'm pretty up on these GMCs, but thanks for spreading knowledge to those in need. Don't take this as being nasty, but I'm into geography, too, and while Michigan is certainly in the East (east of the Mississippi), it is by no means on the East Coast. It is nearly in the Mid-West. Technically speaking, Pennsylvania isn't a coastal state because no land borders on the Atlantic Ocean
