1969 Indy 396 Pick-up Truck
 

Friend of mine located a 69 396 Chevy pickup truck, he says was at/built for Indy...white, orange stripes, 396, loaded with options. Did Chevy send trucks aswell as the rest of the Indy fleet, anyone know how to ID these trucks? He did mention blue interior.
Thanks for any info....Alec

Service trucks were white with special seat covers that were embossed with the Camaro as the IPC, so that is the quickest way to ID one. Orange stripes were owner added later. Fire support trucks were Red.

(I think Lillard picked up one of these seat covers a couple of years back)

Good topic to post over at www.camaropacecars.com

I recall some possibly having an Orange nose stripe alike the Camaro's configuration.
I saw one of the in east San Diego back in the late 80's.

Why would Chevy make the real cars, L89 cars send then to HQ and put Iron heads on them. Why not just build them like they want in the first place ????

Re: 1969 Indy 396 Pick-up Truck
 

I've heard that there were some manufacturer concerns about the aluminum heads. I think that they were changed for reliability reasons.

I beleive it's an E type Jag that belonged to Jim Rathman, the gentleman who drove the pacecar in the race.

Any luck on the truck? I think it would be a great story.
