Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Okay, going to edit the reproduction thing in the hubcap post. Not only are the ones I compared smaller top to bottom on the wings of the bowtie, I measured them with a dial caliper and the poor repop is much taller in the center. Heres all three. Original on left, the "Good" reproductions in the center and the currently available far right.
For the bowtie wings I will call them Original measures .593 GOOD reproduction .500 Poor reproduction .463 Center of bowtie or center square Original measures .890 tall GOOD reproduction .820 tall Poor reproduction .992 tall You can see now why the poor reproductions look so disproportioned. Also notice the ridge around the center is more rounded compared to the poor reproduction thats more pointed. Fine for many street trucks but this is a restoration thread. Hate to sound so over critical but that bowtie sucks ! ![]()

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Great pics & references for this thread! I honestly have no clue if my chrome '66 hubcaps are original or repros, so I'll have to check them out more closely.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
I can add a bit of information for this thread in regards to the Hubcaps. In 1960, the correct hubcap for the GMC trucks was the 1957-1959 GMC caps.This was because when the 1960 model year was rolled out, GMC either forgot to design a new cap or it was not ready for production. The caps changed in 1961. I put the 1959 caps on my '60 as the early sales ads show them this way.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Thank you Jake . That's partially correct. The hubcap you posted is the same in design , yes. For 1960 AND 1961 GMCs , GMC grouped both years together as the "N" series . Both 1960 and 1961 received the same version hubcap with a paint change of a blue a center and blue outer ring accent. This is spelled out in the GMC parts books , dealer literature and data books. GMC did many things different than Chevrolet even though they are subtle differences , they make it a little tough sometimes.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
You can see both Painted and Chromed in this picture. I though about changing the color to blue, but the red matches the emblem as well, so it was a coin toss.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread

I put a new carb on(1bbl rodchester) and new fuel line along with a new sending unit. I also put in new plugs and points, cap, rotor, timed it to 4 degrees advanced and it now will start takes some turning over but will start and idle but when I try driving it it wont come up to speed it just boggs down cant pull its own weight. what could be causing this? please help done all i can think of. thanks

Wrong thread for this subject. You'll probably get more views in the general 60-66 section or Engines and Drivetrain section.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Hood Hinge and Spring Finish
Hood Hinge From research here looks like some hood hinges were silver cad, which mine looked like, weathered silver with some light rust/dirt. Also, some of the photos posted for Lambert, looked like they may have been blackish ones too??. Hood Hinge Springs Again research looks like they were kind of flat blackish, phosphate?? mine looked like this. Couple of photos of mine cleaned. Les |

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Les , From my own group of trucks and personally , every truck Ive seen, 1960-1963 is Silver Cad with silver cad bolts and 1964-1966 is gray/Black phosphate with silver cad bolts .
1963 Silver Cad hinge gray phosphate spring ![]() 1964 Lambrecht truck . You can see the contrast in this picture of the 1964 between the cad plated bolts and gray phosphate hinge. ![]()

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
We've covered the paint/build order for the cab and the bed. How about the front sheet metal?
How was it all painted? Separately, then bolted together? I've never seen a good, unmolested truck: are the inner fender and core support bolts all painted, as though they were bolted together prior to painting? Grill surround? I've never paid attention to see if the flanges of the grill surround and the outer fenders are painted body color, or primer and bolted together before exterior paint. -Brad

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Learned something out the Hydra-matic today. My dipstickcap has always been loose so I decided to solder it and make it right. I glass bead blasted it and found this under the paint - cool. One more factory correct item.
