Here is a brief history on The Chevy Pickup Truck

One of the most memorable years was ’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. The K-5 blazer and the GMC Jimmy also made their first appearances this year.

What happened in ’70?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 wanted a FM radio in the truck, 1971 was the first year Chevy offered this option.

Chevrolet still refuses to mess with perfection, as they still do not change much on their trucks. A couple very small changes like the position of the rear view mirror, and some interior wood was all that was added.
