Here is a brief history on The Chevy Pickup Truck
1969 was a good year for the old chevy trucks Who could ever forget the 1969 model? This was the year a classic engine was made available, the 350 cid V-8. 2002 was the last year the 350 cid was made in the US. It is still produced in Mexico. The funny thing is this is one engine size you will find cut across manufacturers lines being available in GM and Ford model vehicles. The K-5 blazer and the GMC Jimmy also made their first appearances this year.
Next we look at the 1970 model1970 had little change from the previous year, with the exception of the grille.
In 71, you will see a number of changes though they are still not in the body style. Instead, Chevy opted to increase trim options. More padding and chrome were added depending on which option you chose; all options were geared towards comfort and looks. If you wanted a FM radio in the truck, 1971 was the first year Chevy offered this option.
The 72′ model was also not altered very much. Other than changing the position of the rear view mirror and adding some wood grain to the interior of some of the models, Chevy did not alter the design much in the 1972 model year. This concludes my short overview of the late 60’s and early 70’s old Chevy trucks for sale.
