Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Purchased a month ago. 327 with 4 on the floor. BTW its a 64' C20 longbed, so I picked up suspension parts from a 73 c10, including upper and lower control arms, 5 lug discs, spindles, proportion valve and master cylinder. I'm assuming I need the cross member also to make it all work. Now in need of a new rear end and get ride of this crazy 4.something gear ratio.

Good looking truck!

1964 GMC Fleetside
 

I have a 1964 GMC Fleetside 3/4 ton, with a 454 Chevy TBI, Mounted to a TH400, Grounded to the street with a Dana 44 with 4.11 gears.
We have put alot of time and love in to what we are calling (Peggy) Short for the mythical horse Pegasus because parts are never easy to find. I t has under dash A/C Cruise Control and B&M Shift kit that sets you back in your seat..


I would like to Thank my loving wife for helping and allowing me to have another love in my life, My kids for not burning the truck down, Matt in Cali for all his tech knowledge and putting up with me and million questions, Arlen for making me feel 2 inches tall when he is around with his massive auto brain

My favorite color! Looks great, and welcome to the site.

Re: 1964 GMC Fleetside
 

Welcome to the site. Sounds like a fun truck. How do you like the under dash A/C. Does it work well, or interfere with your legs? Also, I do like it better without the giant steer horns on the roof! :lol:

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

+1. Great looking truck! My first suggestion would be lower, but it looks really good just like that.

Re: 1964 GMC Fleetside
 

I am a big guy (6'4 450+" I never hit my legs on the A/C I hit more of the e-brake on my left knee.....

Re: Post Your Ride 60-66 Trucks
 

Which wheels are you running there? AR Boyd's, TTD's? 5 x 120.7 pattern or what? That's the rim I want but trouble with the pattern on the AR 17 x 10.5's.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

I'm obviously in the thread already, and my truck hasn't gotten any better looking, but I took a couple of pictures at a car show I was at, so instead of wasting them, I'm sharing them in here. FWIW.

Here's the powerful engine.

And this old building was the same color (except it has paint), so I stopped on the way home and grabbed a picture with it. Forgot to shut off the turn signal, too.

Here is a truck I saw today for sale at Bill's Truck Shop in Coutrice Ontario. It is from California, the sheet metal is near mint. the drive line I was told is toast. as is much of the interior. It has a Department of Defense decal on the windshield.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

I would love to have that Blazer next to it. Gonna need to build a 4x4 after my '65 is driving. :metal:

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

We've got some sweet lookin rides - no matter what color or yr! OR how many doors hahaha!

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Is that GMC name plate in the grille correct? I have a 1963 and its way different than that one.

Re: 1964 GMC Fleetside
 

Thanks for the input. If I ever go back to A/C that's the type I want to install, and wanted to know if clearance was a problem. Appreciate the feedback.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

I love those 63 passenger car hupcaps on your truck. Back in the 60's I added them to the chrome reverse rims on my 57 Chevy. They look right at home on your truck.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Per the attached link the square grille letters are unique to 1966 only. Details are about half way down the page:

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Thanks! Yeah. I think they've probably been on that truck since it was pretty new. It lived its whole life in the small town of Harvard, Nebraska before I got it, and they were just as nasty as the rest of the truck. The picture shows them during the de-crusting process. My guess it that they didn't want the painted hubcaps, and these were in the parts department along with the stupid wraparound step bumper it had, so they spruced it up. Maybe not, but I think it's a good story, anyway.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Revoh- I wouldnt touch the patina on that truck. It is PERFECT. IMO I would just hammer that thing, but even if that is not the route you are going I still wouldnt mess up that patina.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Naw, I don't plan to. I would like to straighten a couple of things out, but that's about it.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Just a reminder, This is a picture thread. Thanks for looking.
