Re: Newbie w/ A New Ride
Welcome to the forum. That appears to be a beautiful truck. Looking forward to more photos when it arrives. It seems to have a driver side spotlight, and if those bed rails are originals (which they appear to be) they are worth a small fortune. In mint condition they can bring $500-$1,000). What are your plans for the truck?

Re: Newbie w/ A New Ride
Not sure, I know the first thing i am going to do i build a lean too on side of my garage, right it is full with my Oldsmobiles. The truck is going in the garage while the SX is going under lean too. The truck is from Martinsville- Collinsville VA area and the spot lights were very popular in that area. I plan on taking it to shows and cruise-ins. Here in Richmond VA there at least 3 cars shows a month. Usually i drive the 442 and my wife drives the SX but the SX is just a driver and has never been restored. The SX usually wins a 3rd place or a top 50 trophy above 50% of the time. Now when i take the truck it maybe will be 2 1st place trophys. The truck belong to my late Uncle that passed away 3 years ago and my Aunt is selling it so i bought it to keep in family. The family is very sketchy on details. About the truck.

Re: Newbie w/ A New Ride
Yeah...saw those bed rails in the 1963 custom parts catalog, have never seen a set for sale, was wondering what they were worth.

Re: Newbie w/ A New Ride
I like the rails but a couple of buddies do not like them.

The original stanchions were truly works of art, but sadly the plating wasn’t very durable. If these rails were actually pressed into service they normally rusted, pitted, and peeled, which explains why so few sets are available today. It’s a rare treasure to see a set in excellent condition actually mounted on a beautiful truck today. Member Aerotruk63 has the only other set I’m aware of. His can be seen on the following thread, and are installed per factory specifications. They are also the only set I’ve ever seen on any vehicle pointing to the rear. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ight=bed+rails |

Re: Newbie w/ A New Ride
Welcome to the forum
 That is a very nice looking truck. I assume your uncle was the one who restored it? I think that's great that you are keeping it in the family.

Re: Newbie w/ A New Ride
The story is the truck was purchased early 80's. It was used as a daily driver with a straight 6 and 3 on a tree with 373 gears. Mid 90's a restoration started and verywel mind you..... now 350 cid a 350 turbo and 308 gears to be more highway friendly?. Once i get the truck i will post more info, questions and pictures!!!
