AL RARE RARE RARE 1960-61 SWB Stainless set - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**GMCNUT** · 04-21-2017, 08:11 PM

Here's something every 60-61 Chevy Apache fleetside owner wants but can't find. This is the not-reproduced SHORT BED stainless trim set offered as a factory option on SWB fleetside Deluxe /Custom model pickups. This set is going on Ebay as well tomorrow so I am giving you guys first shot at this set.
Call at 256 486 1988 before tomorrow around this time when I plan to list on Ebay depending on responses etc from all of you. Price: $2000.00 (High? yep, a little but these sets don't exist anymore in this good of shape plus I am including shipping this long heavy PVC pipe to anywhere in the US as part of the deal too

This set is 100% complete and unlike 99.9% of these sets, NONE of the pieces are severely scarred or worse, mashed flat anywhere. There are no screw holes in this set either which is a plus. For the novices reading this ad who have never before bought a set of this trim or had other sets in the past, you should know that it is nearly impossible to come up with Door trim pieces to these sets, and even harder still to find them un-smashed on the ends where the door often pinches them - the door trim pieces in this set are one of the biggest driving factors affecting price. Also, you should all know that "hen pecks" as I call them, are tiny dents that seem to be inherent to these 60-61 trim sets - all sets have some - and this set has as few as any I have seen. To use this set on a show truck, you need to send it out and have a professional polisher and restoration company massage the pecks and imperfections out and polish for you. This set will make someone a dandy after restoral work is completed I believe.

About trading: there are not many items I need for my restorations, but here are a few high ticket items that traded, could lessen the blow to your wallet acquiring this trim set:
1) factory slave cyl power steering off a 1960-62 Chevy or GMC torsion bar X frame truck. Different drag link and frame mounted push rod bracket than the way more common 63-66 C-channel Coil Spring frames.
2) same basic type original slave cylinder driven power steering for a 55-59 Chevy or GMC pickup.
3) Solid big window 1960-63 Chevrolet Cab
4) maybe a wide variety of NOS trim or accessory items related to 55-66 GM trucks (what do you have?)
5) maybe someone has or knows where a factory 1955-56 265 V8 w/ LA suffix code (means w/ Hydramatic) could be found?
6) 55-58 Cameo bumper ends or Cameo specific parts
7) maybe a set of clip style 50's & 60's GM truck 19.5" wheels like the red ones Bruce (OEMforme) just sold on here

Ebay seller name is "Route66truckparts". I formed a legal LLC under that name with intent to start a website and sell reproduction and used parts and never got it beyond the used parts sales yet because of my "day job" running a different company - eventually I'll get licenses and sell repop parts as well
