No problem... two guys to turn to for other details and specs on these trucks would Tony "LILRED66" and "factorystock". Those guys really know their stuff when it comes to factory options and details.

This thread would make a good 'sticky'.

So that's what that odd part was. The guy I got my 66 off of tossed all the broken parts on the dash, found that trim part in between the horn and wheel and didn't know where it went. Thanks.

what about the different nostrils on the '62 on up hoods? some are more like an intake duct (like the blue hood) others are just kinda flat with openings.

Orange 1963. Notice the grill. 65 Green GMC notice the GMC hood is different. This is the same hood used on all GMC's from 62-66. Red 64'-66' All of these trucks look alike with the exception of fender badges.

I think the problem is, is that the pic of the green 65 gmc is missing from his post..it was after the 63 chev pic, and he means that it is different than the chevy hood.

McC_65_91 · 04-17-2010, 08:17 PM

besides the clear/amber parklights, the parklights on GMC were slanted on the side of the light, chevys were rectangular... see the picture above of them

rustbucket66 · 03-13-2011, 11:04 PM

My 66 has a deluxe steering wheel, but the piece in the center is a bit different. I've seen pics of both on this website. Also, it is my understanding that 66 was the only year of the backup lights on the fleetside models. The Canadian trucks didn't have the bowtie logo in the taillight lenses, I have a set from a US truck, I like the little bowtie. My truck also has the little bowties in between the words of the heater control lens. I've seen ones on this sight with the little bowties, but have never seen a truck up here with them. Maybe another Cdn thing. The original mirror in mine is a flip up type, and has the words DAY and NIGHT embossed right on the lever.Haven't seen that up here either. Anyone know more about this?

I've noticed some trucks that have the custom horn ring, are using a Chevy II Nova ring. I have a custom wheel, but it's the truck version. Is there a reason GM used Chevy II rings? I'm just curious

they use the nova as that is what is available and it is fairly close. things get broken over the years and the originals are pretty hard to come by
