^ if I was gonna get a cowl hood, I would make it wider; maybe even out to the "natural" curves of the hood.

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

Thanks for the info! My hood has a 4" cowl, so it sounds like it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks again!!

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

Awesome '62!

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

Nice! I like the bed liner.

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

I like everything except the hood and steering wheel. But I'd take it!

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

I kinda like the hood! I'm going to have the V line shape on the middle of the my cowl. Do some Country Boy Designing. Make a mold some how.

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

Man, that's a sweet looking truck. I'd ditch the steering wheel though. I dig the cowl hood, bed, and small Chevy logo on the tailgate though.

Well, here's my first post. I just picked up this little gem from a guy locally. Dropped 4 - $100 bills on him and walked away with the title.

I am definately not new to these trucks. In fact I've owned 2 1965s and 3 1966 C10s over the years.

Here's a couple pics of my find:

Looks like a nice straight truck and it's 5 lug already too. What year is it? did it come with front sheetmetal? What are your plans for it?

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

I grew up in the town where Mels is located :metal: Visalia, Ca. on Mooney Blvd.

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

I'll take a crack at it Captain!
'63
No X frame
Looks like single hole firewall(booster)
No side window frames( though '62's may have offered frameless as well,not sure on that one)
Looks like a great start,all the hard stuff looks to be done already

Here's a pic of my 62' Shlongbed

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

Yup, came with all the sheet metal. It's a 63 model with a 77 front/rear end. The only thing I really need to come up with is an engine. I'm thinking something old school like a 327. There is something about the 350 that is just so ordinary to me. Hopefully I can keep snapping pics along the way and start a restoration thread. :metal:

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

You just find more and more in the different forums. Wow!

Can't think why I haven't seen this thread before; here's my 63 GMC, AFAIK the only one in the UK.

This is as I bought it....

As you can see it still gets put to work occasionally...

And this year I've treated her to a makeover. I love the used, lived-in look so I've tried to keep her as original as possible without letting the tin-worm take over. Click on the link below for the slide-show....

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

Yea, I started it a while back, but the "How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks" has took precedence over it.
This just narrows it to 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks.
:chevy:I like the 60-63's!: :chevy:

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

Sure did! My neighbour has a JCB but that day he was out working with it so I had to strap the dump bag of sand to a steel post at side of my house and just drive away as I needed the truck for another errand!

Did the job though! ;)

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

Cool truck, Kev! Say, you aren't related to Red Green, are you?

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

I am brand new to the site and this is my first chevy I have ever bought. I was looking for a truck to restore to pull my other cars I have restored and the classic good looks of these trucks drew me in. Its a 1962 Chevy C10 and I am working on buying a 1966 GMC 1/2 ton that the owner blew the engine on. hoping with the friendly people on here I will have a easier time restoring the gem hidden under the rust


Currently I have a 1950 Hudson Commodore 6, 1965 Thunderbird and a 1965 Volvo 1800.

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

Looks like you have a great start there. Are your other cars finished or do you have a mountain of work ahead of you.

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

That 60 looks great wearing the black paint and american wheels. Nice Truck.

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

Aerotruk63. Is that pic of your truck? Nice Truck.

Re: Post Your 60-63 Body Style Chevy/GMC Trucks
 

This is my 1962 waiting for its turn... (gotta finish the 1970 4x4 first)
