We had the pleasure to meet member Sodly on Saturday. Out from Nebraska on a business trip of sorts, he had asked if he could drop by for a peek at my collection. I was more than happy to oblige, and so went about assembling the herd for a little show and tell.
Due to my unique storage situation, this was the FIRST time EVER to get all the trucks in one place at the same time. Photos resulting.
Yes, I'm very lucky to have neighbors that can tolerate the nut-job down the street who climbs on his roof to take pics of a bunch of old trucks clogging our little block.

Great trucks oem4me! I saw the red one at the early Rodders meet but couldn't find you. Next time I'll introduce myself. I usually go in my primer white 64 c10. With my girl and my 136 lb bulldog.

Note: he has the original split rim wheels and hubcaps.

Nice one Sig! Original, or restored? Can't quite tell from the pic, does it have the same back of cab trim and paint separation like the blue/white truck in post 12 & 13 of this thread?

[sigshooter]

It is original, it has not been restored. It has had some paint work in the past, but not much. It does not have the back of cab however I do own a set hanging in my garage just waiting to be put on something. At the time I took this picture it was still owned by the couple that bought it new in 61. It has since sold once and I can buy it for $5,500. It still has the original bed wood and everything. It is a custom cab with the deluxe steering wheel and chrome knobs.... I can't remember if it had the deluxe cloth seat for sure.

That was 1960 only on Chevrolets. Nice truck !!

[bonehead]

1961's are my favorite year. I had one when I lived in Florida for 12 years. Mine was all updated mechanically. Great truck. If that one was closer to NC I would give it a look for sure.

[1963c-10]

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.

[XLCOR_65]

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.

Thanks Jim for sparking interest in my 63 C20.
I parked it on the lawn this week and all of a sudden it lands here in the right hands of survivor lovers. Its a bare bones model: 230 c.i., 3 on tree with no accessories. Dealer emblem from Iberia, MO. (the I fell off) I bought it ten years ago from a Jefferson City, MO collector who bought it from the original owner. Obvious Sunday truck and always out of the weather.

Flaws:
dent in rear drivers quarter panel behind wheel. paint not affected.
front drivers 1/4 panel popped loose at door.
six inch tear in bench seat
wood bed was sanded, walnut stained and poly'd by me. never removed.
fingers crossed I still have oil air cleaner.
rubber around drivers door is brittle.
2 cracks in windshield filled with 'bubble' repair once upon a time
hubcaps chewed up around center ring and repainted white with red logo.

Bonuses:
31,950 miles
original "beige' paint
widow maker wheelset intact with hubcaps. mud tires rear. plain tread front.
6 ply goodyear tires on plain black steel rims with chrome lugs installed
original wood side rail panels in good condition
new gas tank
$1500 service this winter on fuel system and brakes.
Fitted cover
Big mechanics manual.

aftermarket accessories still in boxes:
seatbelts
rearview mirror
Door weatherstrips
original painted gas cap

I can take photos this weekend once it stops raining.
Priced at $12,375 based on NADA Classic Average Retail.
Open to offers.
Happy to answer questions.

Thanks,
Auben

Inspiration is a great thing. I get the same thing out of them that you get .. well, except I can hop in and go for a spin too, I guess.
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.

[XLCOR_65]

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

[pimpston65]

i say build a bigger garage!!!

[supercharged]

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.

Did you notice the new fenders hanging on the wall? Check them closely, see if they are nos GM

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 ????

[corvettejim1968]
