1969 was the third model year for the Action Line, the second generation of Chevrolet's C/K series of light duty trucks.
The grille and side marker lights had changed from the previous year. The rear-view mirror in this Yuma Yellow long bed example has been replaced, since the factory one bolted to the headliner. It wasn't until '72 that Chevy started gluing truck mirrors to the windshield.
According to the fender badges, under the hood was the newest small block V-8 in Chevrolet's arsenal, the 350. In this case it's in the form of the 4-barrel LS9 rated at 250 SAE gross horsepower.
This one was photographed with a Canon EOS-1D Mark III and 24-105mm f/4L IS zoom lens.
Very nice example of a great truck in a color not often seen. My dad owned a '70 GMC C1500 for many years, but his was a base model with the 250, column-shift 3-speed, and manual steering and drum brakes.
ReplyDeleteI'm not even much of a truck person, but I'd rock this one.
