Some of the collectible years of old Chevy trucks are late 60’s and early 70’s
We will start with my favorite year of old chevy, the ’69 Who could ever forget the 1969 model? This was the year a classic engine was made available, the 350 cid V-8. Although the Chevy 350 small block is still produced in Mexico today, its last production run in the US was 2002. The funny thing is this is one engine size you will find cut across manufacturers lines being available in GM and Ford model vehicles. ’69 was also the first year for the K-5 Blazer.
What about the 1970 year model?The grille was one small difference between ’69 and ’70. Other then that, there was very little change.
Trim options where one thing Chevy opted to increase, otherwise, the overall look is relatively the same in ’71The looks were very slightly upgraded, the padding in the seats were increased, and some additional trim. If you were one of the lucky ones to own one of these trucks in ’71, then you know it was the first year you got to listen to FM radio
The 72′ model was also not altered very much. A little wood grain for the interior of some models and a repositioned rear view mirror is about all there is to report for 1972.
