Stepside Fenders

Hi everyone,

I'm new on this forum after fisiting a lot lately. I didn't know this forum had a 60-66 thread also.
I have a '64 short stepside for about 8 years. Start working on it three years ago to get it licensed for the dutch road. Whem I bought the truck I tought I had a pretty original truck. But after learning a lot on this forum I figured out some things are changed. It has a period correct 194 CI line 6 out of a Chevy II. I also figured out that the rear fenders are not correct. It seams they are from a '67 model year. If I look at other 60-66 trucks on the net you see this more.
Is it possible that after the '67 model came out GM didn't produced the older style fenders anymore? Something like the 60-61 hoods?

I wouldn't believe that.
In fact I wouldn't believe the bed side holes would line up, or the steps for that matter.
So you may have a whole bed that is a 67. Just an opinion though.
Mark-K shows two different part numbers for the 66 and 67 short stepside.

Ok. I always thought that the beds itself where the same for decades except for the fenders. Never to old to learn something :lol:

Thanks. I also have a 250CI out of a '65 Impala that I want to built in. But I have to look how the condition is of that engine. I already saw there is a crack in the intake near the carburetor.

Hey greetings from Mississippi! That's a pretty truck you got there. When my son was in Civil Air Patrol his squadron hosted some exchange cadets from CAP in the Netherlands one summer. They had a big time here! I took them coon hunting & catfishing one weekend. How the heck do you pronounce "Noordwijkerhout" anyway???

Welcome to the forum :D

Nice looking '64 you have. I would have to agree that the entire bed has been changed at some time. The correct stepside bed and fenders for your truck were used from 1955 thru 1966.

Hey andyh1956. Just try Google translate :lol:. It's a village in the middle of the "bollenstreek". Between the flowerbulb fields.
