Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I forgot to ask, what was the stock ride height for the 1962s? I have seen a brochure but can't seem to locate. I know these were some of the lowest trucks per Chevy.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I agree. The quality built into these vehicles is hard to match, if not impossible. Most trucks of this vintage were not given a pampered life, it is a treat to see one of these unrestored survivors pretty much the same way it looked like back in '62. These time capsules that have been preserved are in a special unique class. There is a lot of original trucks still out there, but not a lot of "excellent condition" original trucks. After seeing the Lambrecht prices, I'll take a indoor 50 year old 21,000 mile over an outdoor 50 year old 4.5 mile anyday.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I've been trying to buy this for about the last month. Justin (jwalk) told me about it making it to town. Guy didn't want to sell but finally came around.... Anyways, rust free and pretty straight 1963 shortwide. Pretty well all original I-6 and 3ott. Shows 62k on odometer. Appears correct looking at the pedals. Drove it home today and washed it. Still lots of cleaning to do. Here's a few pics.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Looks great! My favorite color too. Post some pics as you get into it, (maybe start a thread) as most of us love this kind of find. Congrats!

My Christmas wish is for more of the most original trucks in existence featured here in 2015. We need more trucks like the GMC that FactoryStock posted. I've admired that truck for a long time. It's been for sale for a long time, too. I did find a listing for it on an auto auction website a year or two ago but never could verify the sale. Anyone know what ever happened to it? Whatever the case, it's a shame that the owner isn't involved on this website. He should be.

I think what he was saying was, he was pulling original parts off his truck and saving them for someone that needs original parts for their truck.

Yep, he was... and that's what the parts for sale section is for.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I agree.
I like this thread too, but my truck will never be in it.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Ok, so if I can reiterate. For those in need of factory bolts, nuts, or clamps or whatever... before I toss or hand off something that someone needs...was my point. I was just trying to help out those who restore. Most of my original engine and working generator are on a 100 point Corvette.
Figure that a restoration guru would have stock height information.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Well, technically... if it is restored it is no longer original.
Just sayin... Personally, I think these trucks are awesome original untouched, restored to original or with a bit of personalization. A great part of American history.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
You guys are brutal, a guy was just trying to pass on what he figured was usable stock parts to people who might need them. Even if chose the wrong place to post his message. Although I like to customize my trucks, I truly love them in any form especially untouched originals. LVphotos isn't ruining the thread, the people treating him like a child are.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Ok, ok. Easy now, it's all good. LV thanks for thinking of offering up your parts to the "orig crowd" before tossing them, though the for sale section here does pretty well at finding new homes for left over bits.
YB - I don't think anybody is being brutal, just stating that there are better places for other subjects. I'm sure everybody on this forum has seen a hundred examples of how easily the course of a thread can be turned away from it's original topic and end up losing steam in the process. I think Sodly, like me, just wants to keep this one on track as there are only a handful of pure factory-original threads on here. Lets just let it go and get on with posting crazy barn finds and time-capsule trucks, eh? |

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
posted these in another thread but I guess it qualifies here. Original paint which the wife keeps telling me to paint or it cant come home so it stays in storage at grandpas house.
1965 Originally a 230 but now V8 4 speed SM420 Factory A/C 8 seater 3.73 posi rear end Factory Tach 16 inch rims/clips front bumper guards Got the correct camper mirrors back on it and got some 15 inch rims painted body color with stock caps and some new tires as it was difficult finding correct clip hubcaps. What I found strange was the spare was a body color split rim so not sure what would have been correct for the burb as the 16s were also green. Rebuilt suspension and brakes to stock specs. Rebuilt the heater and controls and trying to figure out the best way to repair the "body work" (read bondo) done by the original owners son and find a nice chrome bumper and anodized grill to replace the C60 grill on it now. Ill get more pics when I go to start it up again in a few weeks. Have to say the new baby makes it harder to find time to work on the fleet! |
