unique parts truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 09-29-2015, 10:59 PM

Just picked up this parts truck last night. It's a 63 gmc with factory chrome grill, chrome bumper and bumper gaurds, tachometer and clock. The weird thing is that it has a 60-61 gmc hood ornament and chevy side trim. Truck also had but is missing the dual spot lights. I just thought you guys would like to see it. Also got a project 66 gmc 3/4 4x4 with custom trim from same guy will post pics of that one tomorrow.

The top of the dash was also painted red which i though was interesting.

**Rolland** · 09-29-2015, 11:45 PM

That hood ornament was shown in the 1962 GMC accessories catalog, so it was probably still available for 1963.

there is a gmc in my town that has all the chrome and a big back window, it also has the chevy side chrome... it could very well have been installed any time in the last 50 years... but after seeing it and yours, makes me wonder if maybe some dealers were able to special order it, or just installed it at a customers request?

Some nice parts on that parts truck. Like those grills. Lots of style in them. Tach looks like and original Sun tach from the late 60's. I have one in the dash of my 66 that I took out of the case. Fit perfect.

There are a lot of really nice parts, for sure. The tach has the GMC font for the numbers, which is hard to find. I'd like to see a better pic of the clock.

I'm assuming that because of the extensive rust on the lower fender that the cab floors and inner rockers are gone? If that truck was solid, it would be a really cool truck to build.

I was thinking special order or customer request as well.

I will take a better pic of clock once i get it cleaned up. Yes it would be a cool truck to build if it was solid but the truck has rust in all cab mounts, rockers, above the windshield and even the frame is pitted up so just parts.

Nice truck! I want to buy the bumper and grill! lol

MalibuKasey · 09-30-2015, 12:18 PM

If you decide to part it out I would be interested in the bumper, with bumper guards and brackets (If still in good shape).

Thanks!

**dtkarst** · 09-30-2015, 07:12 PM

I'll just come from hays and pick the whole thing up from you lol

with it being red and 2 mounted spotlights makes me think it could have been a fire dept. rig at one time...

You might be right but all I know is that the last owner had a camper in the bed. Someone definitely had a purpose for it.
