Rosie, a '62 GMC Carryall
My favorite aunt passed away about a year, year and a half back. She left me Rosie.
Rosie is a west coast Carryall that is perched on a squarebody frame. Some sort of GM Crate motor, 4L80E, air-lockers, all the toys. My uncle-in-law's son owned her, drove her to Alabama, then went off to god-knows-where and passed away. Uncle passed away, so Rosie was sitting for 6ish years when I got her. ![]() Took some workin, but I got her to idle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYrl-VEBVPY About a month later I got her running well enough to drive to the gas station and fill her up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ7l_QAe_Ng Going up this weekend to work on her some more, get her more reliable and hopefully be able to get her registered and insured. Lots of rust that I need to address (that you can see) and I need to figure out the mechanism for the rear-door so I can replace the lock and lube up the latch. |

Re: Rosie, a '62 GMC Carryall
Some random photos:
![]() The entire rockers look like this, basically. California vehicle, driven on the beach I'm sure. ![]() ![]() Hooking her up to tow down to Florida ![]() At Dad's place ![]() As I mentioned, the engine is some flavor of GM Crate engine. One of these days I'll track down the code on it. ![]() Not 100% sure what kind of frame she's on, but based on the shocks and a few other things, likely a squarebody? ![]() ![]() Dog pic ![]() |

Re: Rosie, a '62 GMC Carryall
I would love any and all info anyone has on the rear-door and getting the mechanism to work and door to open. I presume I need to crawl through there and take the panel off so I can manually manipulate the rods?

Re: Rosie, a '62 GMC Carryall
Mr Asa, (and anyone else reading this, I am going to be in the market for a 60-66 solid patina or lightly restored suburban like this, and really like a GMC and especially one in Palomino Tan like this so despite the modifications from stock I don't care for, I would like to know if and when you decide to sell or if anyone reading is holding something not publicly for sale but could be bought - no primer please - not looking to paint one - want one either in original / patina shape all one color all the way around or one repainted at some point to a favorable color or factory color. Text or call 256 486 1988 with leads and info
