Been a while since this post was added to or updated.
On the early model 60-61 trucks doors there is NO window adjustment hole cut into it. From 62-66 you will find a hole about 1" in diameter just under the dove tail brace like below. The hole is suppose to be there and you use a plastic snap-in plug to fill it. |

Re: Historical/This I know/60-66 Model Changes
I've noticed some trucks that have the custom horn ring, are using a Chevy II Nova ring. I have a custom wheel, but it's the truck version. Is there a reason GM used Chevy II rings? I'm just curious

Re: Historical/This I know/60-66 Model Changes
What is the difference? I was told they were the same. Just the center cap is different on the 66s.

Re: Historical/This I know/60-66 Model Changes
The Chevy II ring has a "recessed" cap with the Chevy II logo in it, whereas the Chevy truck has a "raised" plastic piece in the cap that matches the steering wheel. The chrome ring on the trucks is different as well. I can't get any pics to upload so you can see. Sorry.

Re: Historical/ This I know
[QUOTE=aerotruk63;3389738]Would it be possible to start a Historical/ This I know section.
Example: Historical: The 60-66 Chevrolet/GMC were designed by John Delorean based on Airplane Design. Thus the nickname Aerotrucks. Hey, Aerotruck. Not to change the subject but you touched on a topic I've been interested in. That is, who designed the 60-66 trucks? Where did you discover that John Delorean headed the design team? I would love to learn more about this. It would be so cool to see the design process and rejected drawings. I've always wondered why nobody has ever written a "behind the scenes" book about designing these trucks. They made so many of them and they were so popular for so long you'd think there would be a market for such a book. For some strange reason, though, in-depth books on trucks (esp. pickups) are few and far between. |
Re: Historical/This I know/60-66 Model Changes
I was going on memory from something-somewhere I had read. Wish I had some literature to prove who designed the series.

Here's a really good thread with history and pics: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=351107 . Please post the differences you know and I'll try and keep this post updated. |

Frames 60-62 then 63-66
60-62 are an X-Frame. 63-66 are ladder frame. Good thread with pics: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=325736 Cabs 60-63 then 64-66 60-63 cabs are wrap-around windshields (knee knocker cabs). Hoods 60-61 then 62-66? Guessing on this one. |

Re: 60-66 Differences Consolidated
60 and 61 hoods have different turn signal pods. 61 hood has the Apache emblems on the rear corners.
62-66 hoods are the same except for the 62 hood having clear turn signal lenses. 63-66 turn signal lenses are the yellow/amber. On the cabs, the 60-62 have different front mount points than the 63 cab because of the different frame. |
Re: 60-66 Differences Consolidated
Good addition, thanks

Re: 60-66 Differences Consolidated
You can tell 64-66 apart immediately by the fender emblems.
You can tell 66 hubcaps from 64/5 by the ring around the emblem. |
Re: 60-66 Differences Consolidated
For the Chevy grilles:
60, 61, 62, and 63 are all different. 64-66 are the same |
