Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Thanks for the complements guys. The wheels are American Racing Outlaw I 15''x10''. The tires are Cooper 12.50/33/15. The lift is a factory lift, it came that way from the factory. They install a 8'' block on the rear axle and all spring lift on the front axle. This is the way a 4x4 should be sold from the factory. Unlike Chevy 4x4's sold today, you can't tell if they are a 2wd or 4wd with out placing a 4x4 sticker or emblem designating that.

Thank you!

The first thing I did when I took delivery of my`92 K3500 SRW was get out the heat gun and pull the 4X4 stickers off.I could never figure out what "16" had to do with my truck.:lol: Maybe I should have custom stickers made that said 2X8 or 50% of 32.:crazy:

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Too bad you're not closer. I have no problem with fixing frames, in fact I just finished up today fixing a hack job on a '67 swb 2wd frame.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Yeah if you were closer I'd get you to fix it for me. I have it for sale in the parts section now. I'm sure someone could use it. I just hate to srap it.

Here are some pics of trucks from members on this board. They don't seem to visit this forum any more.

gilbert nice pics, and the red truck is sic, were you at in az? here is my 2 wheeler in progress

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Dino, your two wheeler is tight. What are you plans for paint if any? How high is your truck? Hard to tell in the picture with your slammed truck. What is the height to the top of the cab? I am in Clarkdale, just down the hill from the world famous ghost town of Jerome.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Man i would love to see this truck when it is finished. :metal:

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

I'm still here, just thought you guys might be sick of seeing my truck in primer. I love this thread. Lots of nice stuff.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Gilbert, the rocker is 28" to the ground and those are 37x17 teens,there is some build pics in 60-66 under something different longtravel truck, its at a buddy of mine kevins at grunion fab, and its getting a ton of work , bumpers hoop in the front and double shocks, rear hoops and beef up trailing arms full cage that ties front and rear, the paint will be orange, if you get to the valley pm we meet up

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Hey Rust, glad to see that you are still on here. Have you made any progress on your truck? What year is it and what are your plans for paint? Are you keeping the original drive train or planning any mods or just stock? I like to keep mine pretty much stock other than a set of tires and wheels. Keep posted as there are not many 60-66 4x4 owners on this forum.


Hey Dino, I cant wait to see that truck painted orange. I will try to come down and check out your rides some day when it cools down and not 114-116 degrees, thats way to hot for me.

Here are some more.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

That red dually in the above post is wicked!!!!

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

I'm with ya, lots of slammies in here. It started as a 65 GMC, has a 66 Chevy cab/nose with a stepside bed hence the mongrel. Stock GMC V6 and suspension will stay. Thinkin about putting a big rear window in, and I CANT figure out a color. I like that dark blue in your last post. It seems like it's taking me forever to finish. Hopefully by fall. Heres a pic of what it started as.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

You have come a long ways live rust. Thats what color I'm painting mine, a medium shade of blue. If I ever get to it. :lol:

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Gilbert,the big rodeo in Gerome is coming up,right?It must be crazy by now.It was way back when I was there.Whiskey Row was a mob scene.
Post #96:nice 1t conversion and the deep blue Stepside is beautiful.
You taking good care of the red truck?

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

special-K, yes the big rodeo is coming up on the 4TH of July weekend but it is over the hill in Prescott and not in Jerome. They claim it is the worlds oldest rodeo and yes it is a mad house in all of Prescott. Whiskey row continues to be the hot spot over there with drunks, fights and hot women. The red truck has an easy life now,and is only driven on weekends. I guess you don't have any more pics hidden up your sleeves or you would have posted them. Keep watching, there's more 4X4's to come.:chevy:


Rust, It looks like you have done a lot of work. Did a tree fall on that hood? I take it that the GMC cab was in bad shape. That is to bad because it was a big back window cab. I also prefer big window over the small window cabs. It does seem like it takes forever to finish projects. My 1965 in the first post of this thread has been on and off for the last 4 years. Its hard to find time with work and having other running 64-66 trucks. I hope to see yours completed as planned. Keep posted.:chevy:

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Hey 62 short step, did you ever figure out the cause of your front end pull? Here are some more pics.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

No not yet. I'm going to try to bring it to another alignment shop next week. Hopefully they can tell me something. The last shop I brought it to wanted to heat the axle tube to correct the camber. I got out of there fast!!

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

62 short step, wow I can't believe they wanted to heat the axle tube. Are you still running the original closed knuckle front axle? I'm not sure if you can still get parts for them to correct your problem. All of mine go down the road straight with a little bit of wander due to the 33'' tires but I'm sure mine also have some wear. I also have two spares but someday may move up to a newer 44. If you can't fix the problem you may have to do the same.

Here are some more.

How about a 6x6? Former electrical co-op truck, a real beast.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

BobS, that is a cool looking truck. I assume that is a GMC? I think I have one of yours in post #85, I'm glad to see you post here. If you have any more pics of 60-66 4X4's Chevy or GMC keep them coming.

:chevy: :gmc2:

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

There is one for sale here in town.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Gilbert,

Yep, that's my 65 Panel in #85. The 6X6 is a GMC with a 351C V-6, I'd like to swap it for a Toro-Flow some day but that truck is pretty low on the list of priorities right now.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

My first 60-66 chevy. Just bought it today and had to get pics before it came off the trailer.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Wow, thats a monster!!


Gilbert, I have an 87 chevy blazer corp 10 bolt on the front now. The shop said my caster is out, but he needs to fix it individually other than putting shims under the springs and axle. He said my ball joints looked great, he said why spend the money to put in the adj. ball joints? The only other way that I know how is to grind the weld off the knuckle and turn the knuckle to where it needs to be. Anyways might have to live with it, if I can.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

1tonswb,

Awesome truck! Dont tear it up too much four wheeling it. Thanks for sharing your pics. Here are some more. I know more of you out there own 60-66 4X4's. How about members baddawg65, kenny strong and 66 jewels and that beautifully restored truck. If it is nice or a diamond in the rough, post it here.

Here's a picture of my '66 in NW PA.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Looks like a solid truck!!

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Daffy,

Good looking truck! Is it original or converted? If original does it still have the Rockwell transfer case? A lot of the these have been converted to newer model transfer cases due to noise and expense of rebuilding and lack of available parts. What engine does it have? Any other plans for it or just drive and enjoy. Also you said that it was a '66, I noticed that it has emblems for a '65. Thanks for showing us your ride.

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Good eye Gilbert! ;)

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

66 Gilbert,

It's tiltled as a '66, but is comprised of 3 different trucks (so it's not all original). It does have the original style transfer case as well as the motor (283), 4 speed tranny and 4 wheel drums. I'm seriously considering changing out the axles for newer vintage to help the braking. I'd switch out the single master cylinder for a dual power unit. Not sure how far to take this project. I have a '64 2wd and originally bought this truck for parts. I'm leaning towards leaving this truck alone, except for already mentioned safety upgrades and go after the '64 with other replacement parts. I'd hate to destroy one truck to save another. I have access to an LS-1 and 6 speed tranny that would work well in the 2wd. Anybody have any thoughts?

Re: Post pics. Lets see how many 60-66 4x4 are out there.
 

Daffy,

A lot or these old trucks are put together with several other trucks, but it sounds like yours is pretty much original. All three of my 4X4's still have the original axles but I have also tossed around the idea of newer model axles for my '65 for the same reason's you have mentioned as I plan on pulling a toy hauler camp trailer around with it. I also own a 2wd, its a '66 LB with a 327 and 3 on the tree. It's all original other than wheels and it is my daily driver.

Here are some more. I had to post this 10 wheel drive suburban from another forum because it is one of a kind. I also wanted to post a larger pic of Tony's awesome '66 4X4. Enjoy!!!
