See post above yours. Most panels fit good except the cab corners. Had to make them fit. Understand that is true of all aftermarket cab corners.

Hadn't used the truck at because of all the bad werather we have been having. Finally got it out for a drive. Here are a couple of pictures at the car wash.

Awesome truck brother!!

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

Pojoaque huh, now you got my curiosity going. Is this Joseph? Thanks about the truck.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

I just read your thread today, and compliments to you, very nicely done!

But I had to laugh when it went from a "parts running truck" to the last pics of it looking like it is in a car show.
Classic.
I almost get more of a kick out of reading this board than I do working on my truck .... yeah, almost but not quite :lol:

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

Thanks, i had to go buy another shop truck LOL. Not going to get carried away with this one. Even though It's a 69 short/wide with the big back window, and the chrome package. Getting some of the rust fixed and thats about it (a real shop truck). Here's a local thread;

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

Well I actually live in Nambe now, No my name is Danny and I have a 60 shortbed stepside and a 65 shortbed 4x4. I love these trucks, best design from chevy.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

I'm from Nambe also, just list Santa Fe cause it's the closest city. Post a picture of your truck.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

I am new to the site so I'm not sure how to post a pic.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

Wow! You the man! I love the color. I was taking to my 7 year old daughter, while I was working on my 69....how I saw a 1960 in the local boneyard at maybe we can work on together for her. Now I'm inspired!

What type of rear did you use?

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

Thanks. I rebuilt the original rear end. I replaced the gears with I think 3.63 , or somewhere around there. I could only find that one ratio for the stock differential. Still a little low geared with the Saginaw 4-speed, but at least now I can drive 75 on the interstate without it sounding like the truck was about to blow up.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

I believe that higher ratio for that type of diff is 3.38's.. and 3.90's are the more common 'low' gear.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

hey i've got a 1960 chevy fleetside that i'm workin on with my dad. and on your first post i saw you put the original hood on it and i was wondering where you found the bowtie hood enblem?

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

nice pickup!

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

Sorry hadn't checked this thread out in a while. The emblem was already of the hood. My truck had a newer hood, that I replaced.

aric70chevy, thanks I just to get the 69 looking like this.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

Truck always looking good Carnal...any new updates?

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build
 

Haven't done anything to it other than cruise and enjoy it. I will need to replace the Saginaw 4-speed soon. it's starting to vibrate badly (things are starting to get loose on long drives). I started a new project to keep me busy, it's a 69 short/wide. The thread is in my sig. I just picked up a custom bagged frame for it this weekend. Have it all apart.
