Most prized truck related possession?

Not including your whole truck, what is your most prized truck possession? What is that one part or thing you are hanging on to that you haven't used yet, and may never use on your truck? Or something that is on your truck now, but if you sell you will not include in the sale. Something that you "say" you will never part with. What is your "My precious"?

And since this is the 67-72 forum can we keep it 67-72 related ... Thanks!

Re: Most prized truck related possession?

Some day when I sell my truck, the steering wheel will not be going with it, it's staying with me for my next truck or car, or going on my wall as a decoration.

Re: Most prized truck related possession?

Full documentation including original purchase agreement, Protect-O-Plate, owner's manual, every receipt from day one and virtually every gallon of gas used since 1969. However, I don't ever recall finding a build sheet. If I did it was long, long ago and I pitched it. The purchase agreement and Protecto-O-Plate have my name on them.

The spotlight on my 70.

Dealer installed and everyone said to remove it when I did all the body work. I love it and kept it on the truck as it ties the shaved and slammed truck to it’s prior farm life.

Re: Most prized truck related possession?

This factory cowl induction plenum that 12secondnova sent me , It's the only one I've ever seen and I'll be mounting it on the passenger side of the cowl and running 4" tube to the carb,The problem is once I sent it out for chrome it changed the whole build on that truck and sent me running to the chrome shop for more and more .

Here's the thread were he found it in a junk yard in Northern Ca

Re: Most prized truck related possession?

Tough to say for me. I have nos GMC 3/4 hubcaps that I will likely never install but I would never sell. They may make it on my 72 grande for car shows some day buts that is a long way down the road

Re: Most prized truck related possession?

Tough one, especially when the entire truck is something I wouldn't let go. If I had to pick a part, it might be the NOS heat stove and pipe. Haven't slapped them on yet, but then the build is currently mostly just frame

Re: Most prized truck related possession?

I guess the one thing that fits all your criteria seems to be the N.O.S. Saddle steering wheel I bought in '91. I have been through several trucks with Saddle interior since buying and have always managed to find a decent used wheel for each of them, including my present truck. I bought it from a guy in OK City out of Hemmings Motor News for $325 because even back then that was a rare fine piece. But I'm sure if for some reason I end up done with trucks I would let it go. Just don't see that happening.

Re: Most prized truck related possession?

Some interesting answers (some not lol). I think the steering wheels are a neat thing. Could easily be used for wall hangings, even in the house (in the right room) that wouldn't be frowned upon by the significant other.

My 71 C30 has a perfect black steering wheel and Ive been thinking about pulling it when the time comes and putting in one of those comfort grips and keeping the stock wheel just because.

My 327. It's been in the family for years in three different vehicles. Lost track of the miles on it long ago. That engine has done everything we've ever asked of it.

I'd keep the glovebox door and ashtray I sent off to be pinstriped by a painter in New York. Have grown pretty fond of them...

I too am curious about the 67 only tach. Only thing I can think of would be a date stamped tach circuit board. Hope to be enlightened.

Re: Most prized truck related possession?

Hard to say for sure other than the truck itself. Have always wanted a 67-72 4x4 and when this one came up for sale just had to have it. It was really rough shape, rusted and beat up but couldn't resist. Replaced a LOT of sheet metal.
Now after all these years since buying it in '85, have added factory tach, factory tow hooks, factory tilt, true factory truck am/fm. Even with those additions I'd have to say just the truck itself. Love the lines and body style is timeless.

Re: Most prized truck related possession?

I like my nos license plate frame I found on ebay, from an old dealership in downtown Louisville.

The license plate is a repop but I like it too !

V. V. Cooke was the 'high performance' dealership when I was a teenager in the mid sixties. Couple of guys from my high school had new corvettes and would take them there (2 hour drive) to get their tune-ups.
One fellow was headed to Louisville in his fuelie one day and hit a bridge abutment in the center of the interstate (not surrounded by guard rail back then). Never knew how fast he was going but the newspaper documented the engine block traveled 300 yards after separating from the car. Driver got a memorial book case in the school library with his name on it. Different times back then.
