the entire family and to haul a camper or tow a boat? Take a look
at this seldom-seen factory Chevy 3+3 crew cab pickup here at
MotoeXotica Classic Cars. This example is bone stock and recently
restored to original specs, this truck is significantly historical
as its GM's first in-house factory built 4 door crew cab pickup
truck. Which is a common place in today's modern truck market. This
truck has the Camper Special trim package, which included camper
body wiring harness, heavy duty front and rear springs, heavy duty
front and rear shock absorbers, heavy duty front stabilizer bar and
Camper Special name plate. Made in General Motors' Truck and Coach
assembly plant in Baltimore, Maryland, this example is ready to
take you and your family on all sorts of adventures - camping,
fishing, hiking, mountain biking, etc. Finished in a two-tone dark
blue inset surrounded by medium blue, the truck's paint and trim
are in overall very good order with minor imperfections. The
truck's bodywork is straight and solid, its windows are clear and
intact, as are the signature wraparound taillights, dual headlamps
with parking lights/turn signals beneath the headlights and its
partially hidden windshield arms. Trucks with an optional trim
level but without an additional wheel upgrade, received flatter
stainless steel hubcaps, still with painted accents. This crew cab
rolls on Michelin tires, size LT245/75R16 at all four corners. Each
tire is mounted to a steel wheel and topped with a flat, factory
wheel cover. The wheels are in good, original order while the tires
are in very good shape. The truck's engine bay is very tidy, the
battery appears newer, the chrome bumpers are in very good shape
and the cargo bed and tailgate, with a bedliner, is body-color and
in very good condition. Under that counterbalanced hood, with an
interior release, is its original Chevy's 454 CID big-block V-8
with a four-barrel carburetor. This motor is buttoned to its
original Turbo-Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic transmission.
Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power
steering, power brakes with discs in front, cruise control, sliding
rear window, cargo bed light and tilt steering column. This example
also has a pair of fuel tanks, offering a 40-gallon capacity and
activated via a toggle switch on the dash next to the fold-down
ashtray. Inside, the truck's blue vinyl interior is in overall very
good order. The blue benches are in great shape, as is the
complementing blue carpet with white headliner. The two-spoke
steering wheel is in good, original shape, as is the instrument
panel with its full array of gauges and the inner door liners.
Completing the interior is an updated pushbutton AM/FM stereo with
original volume and selector knobs. An all-new clean sheet redesign
of General Motors' Chevrolet and GMC brand C/K-Series pickups
debuted in mid-1972 for the 1973 model year. Development of the new
third-generation trucks began in 1968 with vehicle components
undergoing simulated testing on computers before the first
prototype pickups were even built for real-world testing. The
redesign was revolutionary in appearance at the time, particularly
the cab, departing from typical American pickup truck designs of
the era. Aside from being near twins, the Chevrolet and GMC pickups
looked like nothing else on the road. The third-generation trucks
are colloquially known as the "Square-body" or "Box-body"
generation. GM's official "Rounded-Line" moniker highlighted the
pickup's rounded styling cues that were incorporated into the
design. This included rounded windshield corners, rounded corners
of the cab roof, rounded-corner doors, which cut high into the cab
roof eliminating roof height, slanted front fenders and rounded
pickup box corners which allowed for wraparound taillamps, a first
for GM pickups. The design also featured strong distinctive curved
shoulderlines which rounded out below the beltline. The curved
shoulderline continued across the back tailgate on Chevrolet
Fleetside and GMC Wideside models. However, the low slope of the
hood and rectangular front end of the truck originated the
"square/box-body" nickname, which was propagated through truck
magazines and word-of-mouth. There was also a unique available
hidden radio antenna embedded into the windshield. There were two
types of pickup boxes to choose from. The first type, called
Fleetside by Chevrolet and Wideside by GMC, was a full-width pickup
box and featured a flared shoulderline to complement the cab in
addition to rounded box corners and the new aforementioned rounded
wraparound taillamps. Both steel and wood floors were available.
The second type, called Stepside by Chevrolet and Fenderside by
GMC, was a narrow width pickup box featuring steps and exposed
fenders with standalone tail lamps. Initially, only wood floors
were available. For 1977 models, power windows and power door locks
were introduced as an optional extra. There was another round of
new grilles, revised inner door panels that left less metal exposed
and an electric oil pressure gauge replacing the mechanical unit.
Camper Special Packages - Available on all 20 and 30 series with a
V-8 and Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission or four-speed manual
transmission, Camper Special Packages are recommended for use with
slide in camper bodies for pickups or chassis mounted bodies for
cab and chassis models. Although equipment recommendations will
vary with body weight, most packages specify camper body wiring
harness, heavy duty front and rear springs, heavy duty front and
rear shock absorbers, heavy duty front stabilizer bar and Camper
Special name plate. Deluxe Camper Special Package includes all the
equipment in the Camper Special Package, plus these additions:
Camper Tie Down Package: Elimi-Pitch Package: rear stabilizer bar
(standard on dual rear wheel vehicles). Competition to this C20 in
1977 included Ford's F-250 Crew Cab, Dodge's D-series Crew Cab and
GMC's Sierra Classic Wideside Crew Cab. While they're common now,
crew cabs were rare breeds 40 years ago. Think of them as truck
pools for construction workers and other laborers. If you collect
classic trucks and you don't have any with more than two doors,
consider this Silverado Crew Cab as your next acquisition. Stop by
MotoeXotica Classic Cars today and check it out. VIN: CCS247B171556
