Re: 63 GMC Napco?

Not a 63 either, the dash would make it a 60-61, the gril they show is a 66 and they call the engine "305 Herqules moter". some one that does not really know these trucks. I'm sure they listed it as NAPCO to get it to show in more searches.

Re: 63 GMC Napco?

1960 was the first year for GM to produce their own 4wd system in the 1/2 tons. Napco was used to convert 2WD in the 3/4 ton + to 4WD. The shifter is on the passenger side for activating the transfer case instead of the drivers side with GM. I believe.

Re: 63 GMC Napco?

I read somewhere that Napco supplied the frames for the 60 to mid 63 4x4 GM pickups. Just the frame no components...
