Should it stay or should it go? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 67 C20 to C10 is going to have the frame and steel floor shortened next week and new bed sides installed. In the meantime, I found this truck in New Mexico and after a quick trip with the trailer brought her home. All new bed sides and front fenders she's pretty straight. Not sure if I'll keep the 67 farm truck or the 72 black beauty?

Here's my patina white 67 that's getting the frame shortened new bed sides and 20X10 rear Boss 338's. What do you think? Keep the white one or the black one?

I like the "LOOK" of the black truck better, but can/would you haul anything in the bed? whereas the white truck is a truck including the wheelbarrow in the back. No matter what mine junk ends up looking like, from now on it still has the be a truck. Went down that road years ago. No more.
So, I would pick the black truck and slide the wheelbarrow in the bed.

i'm partial to 67-68's but that 72 is nice.

**SoCoC10** · 09-03-2015, 08:48 AM

What a difference some 3" front drop spindles, 5" CPP rear drop springs, spring relocaters, an adjustable pan hard bar, 20 X 10" resr rims and a pair of 295/40/20 can make!

Becker67 · 09-03-2015, 10:41 AM

They are both very nice trucks. If it were me I would just have to keep them both.

flashed · 09-03-2015, 12:42 PM

Id keep them both .

trac209 · 09-03-2015, 03:42 PM

If you call off the long bed cutting I'd keep both

Truck looks good. What is the rear backspace on your 20x10's?

Odaroloc · 12-18-2015, 08:20 PM

If you're set on letting one go for sure, id keep the 67, but im a bit partial to long beds :P Long and low

**Elliot949** · 12-19-2015, 05:47 PM

I am a 67/68 Fan... but the 72 is a nice looking truck... But for me I would charge forward with the 67...

ElKotze · 12-19-2015, 09:34 PM

I'd keep the '67, just because it's a driver and not a show truck!

swamp rat · 12-19-2015, 09:46 PM

Being as you were gonna shorten the 67 to make it what you wanted you may as well just keep the 72. I wish i could take that 67 off your hands but shipping would be a killer..

mooseknuckles · 01-03-2016, 05:23 PM

In my biased opinion I'd keep the '67....

**SoCoC10** · 01-04-2016, 11:17 AM

Backspace on the rear 20X10s is 5.5"
