'60 Chevy and GMC owners - Your threads please.

[Grizz1963]

I suspect this is about the easiest way to get a load of build threads and related threads to one year in here, other than the search function, which I also use regularly.

Nicola and I seem very stuck on getting a '60 Chevy Fleetside SWB truck to replace our existing cars.

I was wondering how many '60 trucks on here have their own build threads and if you guys who have them, would mind posting up the links to your threads or build threads.

We know very little other than that we want one and will be getting one, especially now the "End of the world" has come and gone like most such dates till now.

What I can offer is a couple of bad photos of a truck I am investigating at the moment.

Colour/color is presumably Crocus Cream with a white roof.

Going by this paint chart.











All of this is still in very early phase of investigation.

I do not even know if the truck is for sale yet.

Hope to find out in the next two weeks.

It has a 350/700R4 combo, airbags, and the front has a 5 stud disc brake clip, rear runs a 6 stud hub, so far from perfect, but I am excited at this point.

Now we obviously need to learn as much as possible about these trucks and any potential pitfalls before committing a load of money to it.

What is in its favour is that it has a load of stuff done to it which I would not have to do, and more importantly, it is already registered and taxed in England.

Thanks for your help and advice.

We really want to get this one right first time around.
