Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I realize these aren't trucks, but definitely nostalgic and still GM. Few pics and some info on the GM trains. Yes they had their own trains and they were used on 75 different train lines.

1st 3 are the GM Aerostar and the pics date from 1964 World's Fair. You can still see a lot of the aviation engineering in the design on the Aerostar. The older ad is from the 40's and then a more modern GM train. Unsure of its age.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Also a few vintage pics of trucks. 1st pic is supposed to be at the GM testing grounds where they did the chevy vs ford comparison tests. Sorry its grainy. 2nd pic I'm unsure of age, but it just looked right for the thread.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Nice find 1963c -10!

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Thank you sir!!! The National Railroad Museum has a Steamliner and an Aerostar on display. Here are a few pics of the GM Steamliner from the early 40's. I personally like the 2nd pic. The 3rd with the children is in Milwaukee.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Couple more trucks. The 2nd pic with the camper was taken in 1962. Pics 1, 3 & 4 look like old GM advertising pics.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I saw this on hotrod ' s Facebook page in my news feed. Has a camper and is a bit blurry but it's a Chevrolet no doubt.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

cool pic. hemi powered, pushed by a ford and towed by a chevy (hopefully).

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Few more from the early 80's

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Couple more pics

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Some photos of my Grandpa's 63 and 64. I love the dog dish hubcaps on the 64' He had a 327 with 5/8" cam and 3 on the tree. It didn't have enough torque to pull the boat out of the water so he would pop the clutch and spin the tires until the motor bogged down and then do it again. Always loved when he took it out of the lake for maintence.

The 64' is towing the Carla II a 66' Chris Craft 25'. It had a 283 and sounded so good through the water manifolds when you cranked it early in the morning in the marina.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

That's a good size boat....cool pics!!! And great to see the smash hit grill guard on the 63!!

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Cool pics for sure! While I like them all, I love the ones with a personal story behind them.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

The 64' had one too. It made it very recognizable plus it had the wrong year hubcaps on it and the shopmade headache rack made from 2' solid iron.

If I was building that style of truck I would definitely want to find one. But it just won't look right on mine.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I have a 60-62 smash hit sitting in a box....waiting for the right project to come along.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

wonder if the crusher is still around

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Nice man. Love the old Chev's and the Chris Craft boats. My old man had a '63 25 footer single 283. I still have the sales brochure for it at my parents house.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I dont know...i didnt see any real modern pics of it

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Not sure if this ones been posted yet. Looks to be 60-62 assembly line by the cast iron mirror arms

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I'll take the 5th one back. But with a side order of marker lights and make it a 3/4 ton lol. 4x4 of course.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Looks like the guy in the pic is installing the door hardware and window glass. The truck he's on has a vent win installed, but the others don't.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Yeah and that one also has door handles too.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Id love to have a cab and set of doors in that condition

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Let alone a good roof in that condition.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Found this hanging on a wall in one of the jobs I was on 2 weeks ago

Was doing a Google search for something else when I happened to see this one:

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

cool tilt and load

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Heres another I found. Looks to be a 64 by the emblems

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Cool pic, has alot of 60 & 63 parts. They used the fleetside bed trim on the cab, a 63 grill...but all factory parts. Nice custom

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I don't think I've ever seen a tractor rig like that running what look like car tires/wheels. More common to see big rig wheels/tires. Very interesting job of customizing.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

What do you suppose these guys are up to? Looks like it might be a '61 GMC going by the 61 in the upper corner of the license plate.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Straight out of hotrod magazine. Here's ine. Y'all gotta look real close there's a two tone GMC in the background and two chevy trucks.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

That looks like a woman on the far right helping the guys with the engine. You don't see that very often.

I think that is what they call 'grassroots wrenchin' :lol:

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Here are a couple nostalgia shots mostly taken at Fremont Drag Strip circa 1964.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Here are a few in "COLOR". Still around 64...

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Nice find! Dig the drag scene. This is where the fun was at.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Looks like NC DOT....3 guys working and 15 watching!!!


Great pics.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I posted one earlier in the thread and just noticed that the dragster had a Chevrolet dealer in Renton Washington.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Im new to this forum, I drive a 66. I like all the old school pics, how do I post one? I'm technically challenged. Can I do it from my smartphone?

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Yes you can. I do it all the time. Look in the bottom left corner of the thread and you'll see the post reply butt9n. Click that and it'll pull up the reply window and then at the bottom manage attachments. Go there and add away pal. Welcome to the forum and hope to see some pictures of your rig.
