Re: 60-66 Model year changes

I don't have a good pic comparison, but the front bumper is different, 60-62, then 63-66, the main difference is in the bolt holes to the main frame rail, the earlier ones are closer together.

Shoot fire I didn't know that. My 62 has amber park lights. My dad had a 63 we used for parts. We probably switched them out and just forgot.

I agree with jchav62 This thread would make a good 'sticky'.
Have all the info and specs fellas can go by. We need the Gu-Rus to unite on that one. You can buy books on this. I bought a book just on 60-66 factory build specs! Found out that the cab was not true and in spec.

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.

No "back-up" lights on 63 (at least mine).

Re: 60-66 Model year changes

I think the backup lights were an option on all years 60-66.

Re: 60-66 Model year changes

My '61 has side glass steel window frames,whereas my '63 chevy and '63 GMC are frameless
Also IIRC '62-'63 GMC's had clear front signal lenses with glass amber bulb covers(inside the housing,behind the lens)and '64-'66 had amber lenses.

Re: 60-66 Model year changes

I believe the steel wrapped window glass was only on the custom trucks.

Here is a picture of a '60 GMC dash. The GMC dash was unchanged through out the 60-66 years with the exception of the instrument cluster
60-61

62-66

Reverse lights were an option in '60-'65 and mandated by federal law, beginning in 1966 on trucks.

Reverse lights and seat belts were part of the federally mandated changes in trucks in 1966.

Anyone know the capacity of the in cab fuel tank was in these trucks? I'm guessing 18-20?

18 gallon - standard and 21 gallon - optional...I believe, but I don't have my 4-5-6 Chevy truck bible with me, right now.
