Alot of sweet trucks!

I am pretty darn certain that my 66 FACTORY 4X4 is the MOST original. Has oil bath air filter, canister oil filter, history, maintenance bills, build paper, hub caps, decals, wood bed, lwb, 283V/8, 4 on the floor, manuals ordered by original owner etc. etc etc. I am going to post it on this site for sale. I have already posted my 66 Burb.

I was under the impression that your 4x4 has been repainted. If that's the case, it doesn't really qualify as highly original in my eyes. Not trying to pick anyones truck apart, just didn't want folks to mistakenly believe that they're looking at an original-paint truck when they're not. Original, factory paint is a huge part of being among the "most original 60-66 truck in existence" IMHO. Can you clarify it for us?

Not the best original out there, but a clean ol' truck nonetheless. Spotted at a swap meet today. Very unmolested plain jane 65 with Re-Trac mirrors and 46,000 miles showing on the clock. Windshield wipers are missing for some unknown reason. Note the black primer starting to come through the thin factory paint on the hood.

That is just perfect.

Yes, came from Loveland, Colorado. Not the nicest around but very unmolested.

WOW! That is one nice truck. My favorite year and favorite color. I just don't have $28K to spare.

All-original 65 with Alaskan Camper.

Every once in awhile you just get this feeling something neat is going to surprise you today. Yesterday was that day. I spotted this truck driving in to a car show yesterday. 10,340 miles, original black paint, 1966 short stepside. This is the third documented 1966 I've seen with 16 inch wheels. Rarely found in black.

Definitely qualifies for this category, thanks for exposing this awesome find 60-66. Interesting to see the white painted rear bumper, most bumpers of this style were painted silver on the West Coast. These type of bumpers usually get removed when these trucks hit the show circuit ( the beige gem top '65 had evidence of this ). IMO, this C 10 would look much better without the raised white letter "low profile" 16" radials, a set of black wall tall and skinny 215-85-16s would be the cats meow.

Funny you mention that Factory stock, this was enough to get the truck put into a different category at this show. It was a rat rod show but anything stock and old was allowed, white walls were fine but not raised letters.

Ha ! you bet Wally , had to ask. Owner I don't think will ever sell. Been in the family since new.


[/QUOTE]Neat-o! How did the engine fare? And the bed wood?

[/QUOTE]

I didn't get pictures ! Was to busy drooling I guess. Truck really needs a good detailing. Owner did the mechanical's and washed it , then I spotted some recent modifications like an incorrect aftermarket RH mirror and one or two small details. Engine paint was about 50% and wood was nice though.

Per Factorystock's request, here's the '66 Custom Camper photo I ran across online. It appears to be all-original (judging by the paint wear on the mirrors) with the correct lock ring wheels.... a rare sight.

Thanks for posting up that black truck. I wondered how a base trim level black truck would look with the white grill/bumpers. Think I'll be painting my '64 like it.

[likaroc13]

Just read about this one a gentleman on the '60-66 Chevy Trucks Facebook group came across. He said he waited outside the grocery store just to meet the owner. It was bought in '63, always garaged, & has about 13,000 original miles.
