I don't get over here much but thought that you might like seeing the 60/66 trucks that were at the Vintiques North West Nationals in Yakima Washington last weekend.

The rest of the trucks I saw Saturday.

Usually I see more 64-66 trucks at shows. Nice to see a couple 60-63s still out and about. Thanks for sharing!

I am also happy when I find these vintages at meetings
Have the 60-63 trucks become that rare?
Certainly here in god old Germany and Europe,
the 64-66s are certainly in the majority here, in very manageable numbers.

They aren't exactly rare, just less popular because of the wrap around windshield and it's dog leg that will get your knee if you are over about 5' 10"
The torsion bar front suspension is the main issue with most folks though.

All 60/66 pickups are gaining popularity in this area. The buy in is usually affordable and as this group well knows they are easy to work on and easy to modify.

Just out of curiosity what is a ballpark figure for a running driving good shape roadworthy burb going for these days in the states? I know different states and such just want to kind of know if I am in the ball park with my insurance over here. What is everyones about price?
