Neptune ◊ 2010-11-15 03:01	1973-1974 Chevrolet C-20 Fleetside, appearing to be in Cheyenne trim, which was a luxury trim slotted below the top-of-the-line high end luxury Cheyenne Super. Cheyenne Super would later be replaced by Silverado. Its rear-wheel drive and may have the optional rear G80 Eaton "Gov-lock" automatic locking differential (ALD). According to GM, the C-20 and C-30 were capable of towing up to 12,000 lbs (5,443 kg) of braked trailer.

Neptune ◊ 2010-11-15 15:51	Indeed, those are drip rail moldings (rain gutters) around the top of the doors. Originally offered by dealerships (according to some writings) and later made standard by GM on all of the "rounded-line" trucks, regardless of trim level.
