This is my Buddy's 1966 GMC Stepside that his father purchased new in 66 at the local dealership in town. Soon it will get a mild static drop and some original steel wheels.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

I see your truck is still looking sharp too. :metal:

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

thanks Slow Build - good to hear from you, come on over and give us a hand when we tear into it

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Wow Southcity..

That's a real nice pick up.
I'd love to see more.
Are those OE back up lights..?

BTW....: What Slow Build said 'bout yer '68....X2

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

This is a pic I saved a few years back of a '66 era Chevy truck (not sure of the exact year) from an online website that sold vintage/classic vehicles. Always thought it was a cool picture.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

No - they were replaced sometime in the early 90's, we are currently scouring the garage to locate them. I will try to post some interior pics soon, thanks for the kind words re the trucks.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Send me a PM when you do it. If all the stars line up right maybe I will.

Pics below: Same place different time. The picture of yours was taken by El Jay if I remember correctly.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Thanks for sharing the photos of your buddy’s 66. It certainly looks clean and straight. Your 68 is one of the few 67-72 series trucks I find particularly striking. The push bar/bumper guards, poverty caps, and beautiful black paint give it a subtle performance look, almost like a Highway Patrol truck.

I also really like the black and white photo of the two trucks together. The severe contrast between the two vehicles adds an interesting dynamic to the picture. Without the late model SUV in the background, the picture would look like it could have been taken 40+ years ago.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

That is a nice truck. That is a '66 emblem on the fender, but it is mounted too low, not in the factory location.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Cap, I saw the emblem too, but because i'm still a novice on the chevy's , I thougt maybe they adjusted the location from the factory.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Interesting, I've never noticed that. Even though I had a '66 ages ago, I'm not all that familiar with the variation of emblems and trim on the mid-60s line.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

My blue 65 longbed sbw and my black 65 shorted bbw.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

I really like the blue one.
Actually, I like the the black one better.
Or.. maybe I like the blue just a little more than the black one.
Nope... I like the black one more.
Nevermind,
I like them both equally.

Those are both very nice trucks, Hagelin. Nice to see Sweden represented on the Boards.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Thanks guys! I think i'm going to sell the shortbed soon and focus all work on the longbed. :metal:

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

I think mine is to a point to where it looks complete and I can finally post a pic here.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Alan,
I flat love that thing....Thanks for not embarrasing yourself and showin' that to us last month...:lol:
That's a wonderful color combo.
I never would have guessed how good that would look.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

I knew it was coming......Looks great :metal:

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

It was my turn to be embarrassed.:lol:

The truck looks great.:metal:

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

No, Alan....
I was just teasing ya about your original post....about it finally being to the point where ya felt it okay to show us....I have the feeling that we would drool over it a long time ago....at whatever stage of completion you had it....
It's hard to disguise that rig as anything other than what it is......pure sweet.

Good taste....well executed.

BTW....She sure did have a "Calendar Month" just waiting for her.....an' I'm sure we all agree on that.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

What an incredible build, and beautiful finished result. I like the fact your truck is contemporary but different from everything else on here.

Belated congratulations on winning the TOTM. I voted for your truck, but it appears the forum sub groups are no longer notified when the contest closes, so I rarely find out who won.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

when i first came to this website i came upon your truck build. it was probably about halfway done. i read through about 50 pages of your build thread.took me almost all day. i have been following from then on. this is what got me into this website to see so many dedicated people willing to share there knowledge about these trucks.your pictures and discriptions of how you do things have been so much help. everyone on here should let all of the new guys on here know if you want to know something about building one of these trucks read Allens posts'all 3.0000000 of them. truck looks really GOOD
