Differences in model years
I want to buy a C10. Where can I find information on the differences in the model years on C10 trucks. I want a short wheelbase for sure.

<http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/index.php3?>
Here's a site that has all of the Chevy trucks from '47 to present. A lot of people seem to like the 67-72 models out of all of them, personally I think those particular year trucks look good, but, I see too many of them. The 67-72 models are also pretty easy to find parts for.

I think the body styles were similar for 67-72/ 73-87. There are some differences in the 73-8? and 8?-87. I think the swap was in 82 or 83, but not positive. I just got a 78 I havent even seen yet

The C-10 I have now has the same cab as yours but I've got the stepside bed. The original color, from what I understand, is the exact same as yours ramjet but the color now is a blue candy color(supposedly). The C-10 has been sitting outside for a while now (10yrs+). I was running last summer until I stopped driving it again. It has a 350 w/ a 4-speed transmission. The original had 3 on the tree. But, my dad and his dad did everything to it. I don't plan on doing any frame-off stuff, The main thing right now is to get the gas tank out of the cab(behind the seat) and in to the bed, and replace the bench seat w/ bucket seats. Then I plan on putting a 6.0L(still not sure if I want to keep it old school engine-wise or not but I'm leaning toward the new stuff) with a 5 or 6-speed trans. I don't have any pictures right now but I'll get some in the next few days. Sorry about the long post. You should have gotten the 572. j/k. I think the 502 will get the job done though.

I want to get a pre-1975 model. How much lighter would a 72 swb be than a 73 swb. I've seen them on the road and the 73's look like they'd be much heavier.

I going to buy a 1970-1974 C10 and make a fast street truck out of it. I want it to be light. As far as I can tell, a 73-74 weighs just over 4,000 lbs. I can't find out how much a 70-72 weighs. Anyone know if the early ones are lighter? Also, is there an advantage to the the 73-74 models over the earlier ones?
