Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I think I like some of the factory original trucks better than a lot of the modified trucks. I never get tired of looking at the true survivors.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
oem4me, your trucks (and vette) are such an envious collection. I would dare to say that you more than likely have the most original trucks. haha. Man, I could just sit and stare at them all day. I am a HUGE fan of original because to me, it is the closest we can get to time travel and I just love seeing things how they were since I never got to experience that time. Even though mine is Frankensteined together, I am trying really hard to get it to looking original. Until then, it still feels great to drive and for a while, it's like the modern day disappears while behind the wheel.
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you how much I love to look at the pics of your trucks not only for their perfection, but also for inspiration for my truck.

Honestly, the envy thing is a little embarrassing for me. See, I just own them. I can't take any credit for what inspires. You get what I get, only you don't have to pay storage. |

I get what you're saying, and yeah you're right, I definitely do not envy the storage fees!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
This thread is just plain sad
To have a 50 year old truck that is all original and looks half as nice as the ones in this thread is just plain sad. These trucks were meant to be used and abused - especially back in the sixties long before Gentleman farmers and Saturday night cowboys were popular. These trucks were meant to haul and tow and travel to work sites, not languish in a climate controlled showroom or barn. That would be like finding a sixties muscle car that was never raced or at least burned rubber down main street! In southeast Texas, vehicles from the sixties rust in the garage! But seriously theses are all incredible and your pampered trucks should be mega-appreciated.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
In an effort to stir a little attention back to stock or original trucks , I had this truck out for the local show last weekend and thought I would post some new pictures.
Are there any other new additions that can be posted ????

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Hey 60-66, can you show some pics of the in bed spare carrier on your fleetside. I have a carrier, but would like to know about factory placement and what they used to hold the tire to the carrier. Any help is appreciated

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Really a super truck, Jon. Hey, I can't recall if you've ever been asked if you had a favorite among your collection of remarkable low-mile trucks. Is there one that you consider your "prize" find? If so, which one and why?

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Boy, that's a tough one. I guess when I find each one I feel that way. I like them all, that's why I rarely sell anything. Its the thrill of finding them and getting a chance to bring them back to life and enjoy them. I've owned the white 65 4x4 the longest, almost 23 years. My favorites are this Gold truck, the Red 66 GMC and my blue 60 short bed , the white 65 AND AND but not in any order. The red GMC I waited 4 years to get from the original owner. He listed it once on EBay while he was still alive but at that time he was at twice what the truck was worth. It was his baby and he was very proud of the truck. 4 years later he passed and his wife and son put it up for sale a little to cheap . It was exciting to drive out to Baxter Springs KS to pick it up and see where it was stored all its life. Sold new in Miami Oklahoma. Each one has a story .

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Thanks for the info. Looks like a 1/2" carriage bolt 8" long.....I will probably use the same style lock I used on my stepside spare fender mount.
