Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Id love for you to find a 235 6 Truck with 4.11s that can drive 70 MPH.... Remember the Truck you are Referancing was a 1960....

I have a Hot rod with a 292, and I had a 50 chevy coupe with a Warmed up 250. They are awesome motors. I love 6s.

All I ever said was I don't understand the people that don't drive them. Its hard for me to think the only enjoyment you get from something is looking at it. But that's ok, its their deal.

Im not trying to cause drama here, I saw people saying that someone "Ruined" a vehicle by modifying it. and that's not cool.

DakotaKid, I still love you, not the want to have the baby with you kind, but just to let you know, were all friends here! lol

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

The only point on which I agree with the original poster is that I hate to see low mileage, near perfect survivors get dropped, chopped, channelled and modified. Beyond that, we agree on all points. I also do not understand owning cars you do not drive. And I do love to see creative ingenuity. Even when it is not necessary something I would drive, I love a good, well done mod. Slammed to the deck, chopped to inches, channeled until you have to lay down to drive.

I like the sixes over eights because I think the engine requires more creativity, more thought and it is more unique. I agree times have changed and road speeds are higher than they were in 1960. But the stock answer of a 350/350 transplant is not the only answer. It is the most common answer which makes that set up about as cliche as a Mustang or a Camero (no offense to any owners out there).

I like living on the fringes. I like trying the things everyone else is ignoring. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy the mainstream. I think threads like this one are important. For remembering where the vehicles came from and for celebrating the dwindling crew that gets their pleasure out of restoring to stock. The stock original crowd is an important component of the car/truck culture.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Couldn't agree more, & I enjoy customs as well. IMO, modifying such originality as what often appears in this thread is in essence "ruining" the truck. There are certain ones out there that should just be left alone for us to admire in their purest form. That's what this thread is all about! That said, the motto still holds true, "To each his own." :chevy:

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

19GMC66, that is one sweet truck!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

OK I'll be your Mother, you have enough projects, finish those, then you can get this one. Thought I raised you better than that!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Beautiful truck! I'd leave it as is! Could that be a 292? I didn't think 230 engines were available till later?

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

ok, i'll leave this one alone...

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Back on track posting original trucks now. This one has a great look. LOVING the pure utilitarian vibe!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Bruce did you buy that??? I saw it at Turlock Swapmeet a couple of weeks ago.... that is nice!!!! :chevy:

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Nope. It's currently listed on Ebay. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...m=151795599647

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

I'm absolutely speechless. Just went through this entire thread, wow!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Nice find Bruce! Hope you're doing well. :chevy:

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

This truck is nice, but it has had a lot of touch up work to make it appear nicer than it is.
It has chrome sun visor brackets, which they never had.
The truck has normal dents and scratches and paint thinning, except the front and rear bumpers, bumper bolts, brackets, and grille are perfect... To perfect for the rest of the truck. The frame is rusty but rear bumper brackets look brand new. Because they are !
The inside of the doors appear to be painted the exterior color not the fawn color. Look around he back glass on the inside of the cab, tape lines on the gasket.
Under the hood is too perfect also.
Hub caps and wheels are perfect

Nice truck but with enough make up even my old girlfriend still looks 18!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Lol. Yeah, not THEE most orig by a long shot, but still a sweet little stepper.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Not sure if anyone has posted this truck, but thought I'd share.
My friend was on vacation in Maine and saw this and sent me pics. I don't know anything about the truck other than this. Apparently this truck has spent its entire life on a island in Maine and has 3028 original miles:

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

no sorry that's all I know about the truck

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Alot of sweet trucks!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Not the best original out there, but a clean ol' truck nonetheless. Spotted at a swap meet today. Very unmolested plain jane 65 with Re-Trac mirrors and 46,000 miles showing on the clock. Windshield wipers are missing for some unknown reason. Note the black primer starting to come through the thin factory paint on the hood.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Is that Sea Mist Green?

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

i think in 1965 it was called light green . looks like a colorado truck todd

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

That is just perfect.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Yes, came from Loveland, Colorado. Not the nicest around but very unmolested.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

It's on there again. Did it change hands or is this the same owner still trying to sell?

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Yeah, as "sigshooter" pointed out, that one has some flaws when it comes to originality. The interior door paint issue is too obvious.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

I am pretty darn certain that my 66 FACTORY 4X4 is the MOST original. Has oil bath air filter, canister oil filter, history, maintenance bills, build paper, hub caps, decals, wood bed, lwb, 283V/8, 4 on the floor, manuals ordered by original owner etc. etc etc. I am going to post it on this site for sale. I have already posted my 66 Burb.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

I was under the impression that your 4x4 has been repainted. If that's the case, it doesn't really qualify as highly original in my eyes. Not trying to pick anyones truck apart, just didn't want folks to mistakenly believe that they're looking at an original-paint truck when they're not. Original, factory paint is a huge part of being among the "most original 60-66 truck in existence" IMHO. Can you clarify it for us?

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Saw this one on ebay.
