how about some pics of 60-66 long beds

[murphy98]

Thanks! Took me awhile to decide on a colour scheme for the truck, but once I decided to do it up as a 60s British American Oil service station shop truck the colours all fell into place. This truck was originally all woodland green so not too big a change.

Thanks!
I've owned 5 GMCs now, all long bed fleets this is my first step side. I must admit, when I first bought it I was not too crazy about the step bed, I thought about changing it over to a fleet bed. However, when I researched the proper tailgate for this truck (original tailgate was missing) and saw that cool GMC logo (I think some call it the "flying M" logo) I was sold! That logo I my favorite of all GMC logos.

I held out for a long bed. Now I just can't wait until I have it roadworthy for spring....

I remember seeing a couple of those 9 foot step sides back when they were new. They were orange and were part of some type of utility fleet. Memory tells me they were 3/4 or 1 ton having very large wheels.

I suppose it could have even been the same truck seen on different occasions. The 9' step bed was certainly unusual and unpopular. I never heard a kind word about their appearance, but they must have been practical for whoever owned them.

Bonehead says "A rusty long bed is still better than a mint short bed..."

With a long bed you get a WHOLE truck not just a shortened version.

Love your truck's combo of custom options and long stepper bed. Did it come that way from the factory or did you create it?

I might do that to mine if I could find a nice long stepper bed.

When I bought the truck it was very clean and looked to be stock. The cab was white and the bed was red with the red and white custom seat. So far I have only painted it. I would like to find out if there is a way to tell if it has been modified. Either way, long beds are cool!

Did Chevy Gmc make a 9' step side like Dodge or International back in the 60's?

They sure did! Here are two pages from a couple of sales brochures I have. From the info I have read it appears that the 9' long step bed was only available on 1 ton models. Someone can correct me if I am mistaken on that. I believe GM also had a 9' step bed available in the '67-'72 model years as well. I'd love to own one! I believe they were rather rare even back in the day. If any members here own one, perhaps they can post photos & more info?

Hope this info helps?

Very cool! Found this photo on line of the same truck, Nice GMC, from London Ontario at one time from info I found on the net. Wonder if it's still around?

OK, long bed lovers. My truck is off the road because it is getting outfitted with AC and so it has been a while since I posted a pic so here you go...
