The bed railing was a fluke call to a guy who was listed in a Hemmings Almanac of dealers in old parts. He asked me what I was looking for and off the top of my head I said "Bed Rails". "I've had them for years and I'll sell them to you for the same price I bought them for. " he said and the deal was made. That very week I was at a swap meet in Cloverdale British Columbia and lo and behold there's another set on the ground. Guy was asking $85.00 at the time I offered $45.00 he took it, had them rechromed and installed them on my matching trailer. ( Haven't shown pictures of the trailer yet. It's like the box on my 63 ) He had taken them off a 58 El Camino. so they go back a few years. I found another set on Ebay but for the life of me I can't find them. There in a box somewhere. The Ebay find claimed they had come from a Ford Ranchero. Found just the posts and bullet ends on Ebay $9.99 for all he had . I bid and told him what they were for . He sent me one post and Bullet End Cap then relisted the rest of the set and sold them for $ 100.00. I'm going to make a toilet paper holder out of the one post and bullet to remind me to keep my BIG MOUTH SHUT next time. |

I also have a set of the Fleetside Step Inserts, but they were not offered until the 67 and later years, at least as supported by all brochures and pictures from the era.
ON THE Compass. I have an OEM compass and always wondererd were it was suppose to mount, I though it was to mount under the mirror. I will have make the final braket, I have the "U" shaped part but I think there is another piece the connects to one of the screws for the mirrow bracket. Let me know if I'm correct. I too am a acessory freak, the OEM factory options I have for my truck are too many to list, will try tomm. But I will use everything I have that is correct for the 1960-1961 model year. |
Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Where can you buy the stainless steel trim around the windshield at? I have seen them on a lot of trucks! I so want this on my truck! And also the CHEVROLETE emblem on the Glove Box?
Anyone? |

The U shaped compass mounts to the top screw of the rear view mirror and you pass the wire inside the light wire inside the windshield rubber towards the drivers side then down the seam at the dash into the fuse box. There's a picture of the interior of my truck and you can see the compass. Chevrolet Compasses had the Chevy Logo and GMC Compasses had the V logo. |

The Chevrolet Emblem came on 1960 only with Deluxe equipment Chevrolet Part # 3743688. I to will be putting the name plate on my 63. Does anyone have a part # crossover book to see what other applications the emblem had? |

when i found this forum, i knew i found some like minded, more is better over kill kinda people.... lol!!! thanx for the props... i have more pics some are older. the first 2 i posted are how it sits today, waiting for the body man (a friend and he is swamped bad)
these new pics are of the fire wall. i moved the motor back like 5 or 6 inchs (from where the frontend kit said to put it) #1 sparkplug is on the balljoint centerline. it required a little bit of custom tin work to smooth it back in (for you guys with real good eyes, yes that is a wheelbarrow in the firewall. true temper i think... wait, wait.... i made it with a shot bag and hammer and a english wheel (thats what i tell my friends w/choppers), no its a wheelbarrow. lol!! 14 bucks can't go wrong!! as everyone here knows the boxside wheel openings are tiny. big tires suck to change without a hoist and unpinning the coilovers. i don't have a hoist, so a friend (pictured) and i came up with a solution. the box hinges up on two 3/4" hiem joints on the cage (it will stand up vertical against the back of the cab) |

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Thats a cool trick on the flip bed, hate the get it jacked up on stands and pull the coilovers ,then let the rear down so you can get the tires off drill :burnout:

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
i know what you mean. i was sick of it just mocking it up.. mine can damn near lay frame. you can't get at all the lugs w/out lifting the chassis... and, there was never gunna be a box floor. just to much stuff to go around with the cage and lifting the frame rails up 8" my only real regret is i should've pinched the frame. i left it stock width. you put 345x55x15 on a 12" wheel everything gets real tight.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
fryco,
Awesome truck! That must be a scary ride! Great work and I can't wait to see more... |
