My 66 GMC 910 with a 283, 3 spd, My 1960 1960 Apache 10 short step, and a 64-66 cab I bought that I might build someday.. Or I might sell it.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

That crewcab is awesome!

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Oh!!
more pics of the extra cab please?!?!?!?!?

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

That rear suspension is certainly interesting. It appears to be a conventional coil spring trailing arm setup, but I've never seen a single leaf helper(?) spring mounted like that before.

WOW!!!

The perfect truck! This is great.

Im on Tidewater just off the 64

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

That's probably factory. I know the 67-72's had a similar overload spring.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Here's a couple of mine. I bought this truck for $500 about 3 yrs ago. Orginally I got it for my dad and he didn't want it. So shooting the bull one day after trying to sell it and no one came to look at it. He and I decided to restore it. It was a mess. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of it prior to taking it apart. What a stupid thing to do on my part but didn't have much interest in it at first. Now we're getting much closer to the finish I really regret it. Here's where we are now:

Frame completely sandblasted and Chasis Saver High Gloss Black
Fenders, Hood, Door, Grille, Bed stripped down cleaned up new patch metal where needed and ready for paint.
Cab floor partial replacement
Engine pulled, sandblasted, painted
Cab, Engine compartment painted.
Rebuilt Carb, New Water pump, New Interior componets, New Seat reupholtered & New Carpet, New sliding glass rear window, New Wiring Harnesses, Gas tank flushed, sealed, sandblasted and painted.
New reproduction wood steering wheel, turn signal lever, 3 speed shifter lever new, glove box insert, Chrome door sill, New weatherstriping, new thermostat, Chrome valve cover, Chrome side plate, Chrome locking gas cap, Polished Stainless bed bolt kit, Chrome Bumpers, door mirror, New reproduction radio with Ipod hook up, New Seat belts, New volt regulator, horn relay, many many more little items.

The plan is to have an authentic restoration with minimum change from the orignial truck. Example of my changes: Change of Color, Custom Wheels, Change of Color of interior, Sliding Glass rear window, Oak or Cherry Wood bed in place of Pine, Seat belts, stereo this truck didn't come with one, chrome in some places it wouldn't have had back then.



Left to do:
Paint Hood, Bed, Doors, Grille & Reassemble, Order & install truck bed.

wow!! that truck is gorgeous!
:metal:
great work

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

I bought it about 11 years ago it this condition with high hopes of doing it up. The structural welding is good, but the welding on the body mods is crap, esp the roof. I'll see it I can find anymore pics. I have it stored just sitting on a chassis I had kicking around from a 67, so its sitting kinda funny. the doors and hood are off my late 66

Every time I open this post, I cannot believe how Great Looking This Truck Is! it's better than a Victoria Secrete commercial. You know what you see real.

Here's my '65 that I recently acquired for $400. Came complete with 3 on the tree but without an engine. This pic is the day I picked it up. Will get some better ones later.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Thanks! diggin the hot rod lincoln

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

it is house of kolor pagan gold. its a kandy concentrate. shoot some orion silver as a base then mix some concentrate in some clear or intercoat clear and spray. you keep spraying coats until the desired hue is obtained. in my case i matched it to the metallic gold vinyl on my bench seat.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

thanks

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

just installed the side trim

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Love it

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Heres a few more of the 1960 Apache I used to own. I used tail light lenses from a 63 Bel Air, and mounted them on some trailer light buckets which were very close to the same look/size as the light buckets that came on the truck.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

im loving the contrast with the dark side trim.....looks killer!
