Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Yes! Your truck looks awesome! I too think those factory wheels and caps, with those tall beefy tires look reeeaally good! Have you found tire replacements yet? I hope you are enjoying driving it a bunch. I'll take any excuse to drive my CC, even for short errands, as it never fails to bring a smile.

And, like I mentioned, I rarely ever see Dark Blue on these trucks for some reason.... at least not on unrestored trucks. Quote:
Seems the more I study these trucks the more I'm realizing that "dolled up" C20s were pretty few and far between. In particular, chrome hub caps on a C20 are quite a rarity. I always pay attention to background shots on old tv shows (Adam-12, Emergency! anyone?), old magazines and vintage photographs and you almost never saw chromed-up 3/4 tons back in the day... except in GM ads, of course. Thanks for the nice words, everyone.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
What I think is really rare and unusual about Sodly's blue truck is the Turbo 400 trans, and the 3 speed automatic shift column. Never seen that, even on this site. Also noticed it had the small hump in the cab floor. The 67-72s had a high hump in the floor if the truck came with the turbo 400. That thing would be great for a camper and/or pulling any kind of trailer or boat.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
OEM4ME, could you take a photo of the other side of your engine? I'm interested in what holes and hoses there are in the valve cover.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Watch out for any advertising or promotional stuff Sodly, in some cases, it has been doctored. There are numerous GM ads were emblems were drawn in, side moulding was added or deleted, and wheel color altered. Look for real non-GM period photos for the way it was really done. Maybe we should start a thread on "doctored" GM ads, and see how many we can come up with. Here is the real deal on a 1966 16" lock ring wheels.( Rim is black in this case because this truck is solid body color)

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I hear ya, factorystock. But I saw this on motion picture film. It would've been pretty tough to doctor an entire film... and for what reason? I'll try to get a screen cap of it and send it your way one of these days and see what you think. Anyway, I'm with you... the silver rings looks pretty cool. Very rare to see on the road today.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
RPO M49; only available in '66 C20's AFAIK. I think that oem4me also has a really nice '66 C20 with a TH400.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
i might be wrong but was the 400 transmission only aval. on big block cars in the 1966 Chevrolet line . if you had a small block you were set to get a 2 speed pg auto. if so this was the only turbo 400 matched to a small block and 6 cyl. for 1966 Chevrolets

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Started my Porterbuilt crossmember install. I have a buddy taking the rest home.But is there nuts, bolts steering links, manual box, or column before I cut, clamps needed? Rust free and greasy. Pork chops, bars and bolts spoken for but rear torsion crossmember is not. I'll toss everything in a box just in case.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Just for reference, torsion bar crossmember bolts. Sleeved bolts and cup washers. Do the pork chops press off or are they just fighting me? Bars to a arms are not easily coming out as well. Not rusty. Is there a certain position to get them out? Everything is loose.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
IMHO... Pull it all out... toss it in the scrap bin and get a 63-72 front suspension for it.
:-D[/QUOTE] Way, way past that.

If the vintage truck/camper market ever wakes up and smells the coffee, that price will seem CHEAP! There is simply no substitute for original materials and finishes that remain fresh after fifty plus years. Last edited by oem4me; 12-23-2014 at 02:36 AM. |
