These include deluxe cab interiors for the Super Custom Models which were introduced with a 350 cu. inch. V-8, for the 1500-3500 series trucks. The trucks could be purchased with bucket seat and bench seat interiors, while the Value Van delivery vehicles were only available with maroon vinyl seats in 2 colours. There are also factory designs for Conventional GM 4500-8500 Heavy Duty Custom Cab Trucks, the 9500 Heavy Duty 114”, the GMC Medium Duty Tilt, and the GMC Astro 95. This sample catalogue provides an invaluable historical reference to the colours and styles of the General Motors truck of the late 1960s, and are far scarcer than those for General Motors passenger cars.
