Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
Agreed. I have that pic saved, too. I like the overall look of that truck even though it's not at stock ride height. I dig the fatigued paint and the grey, bare steel wheels. Even though it's low it still looks like a truck that could actually haul something. Very cool.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
Here's my '64 I just bought yesterday. No engine, manual trans. The body has seen some tough times, but the main reason why I jumped all over it was the fact that it has factory A/C. I have never seen in-dash air on a '64, because I thought that the option first came out in '65. Anyway, it's got the tinted windows, but the evaporator housing is missing from the firewall. Funny, I have seen those pieces intact on parts trucks, but it's always the dash pieces that are missing. This one was backwards. I bought it off of Craigslist from a guy who was getting evicted and had to get rid of it. I bought it for $200. The Chevy truck Gods were shining down on me yesterday.
I plan on getting it back together, stock-looking, and making a cool parts chaser out of it. ![]() ![]()

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
oem4me... you're my HERO! Now you just have to find some correct hubcaps and you'll be good to go. Or are those correct? I'm not an expert just yet. In any case, that is one sweet truck. Care to post any more photos of your way cool truck (of feel free to drop me some off-list, if you prefer)? I'd like to see more details. Is the drive train and everything else all-original? Very nice. Love the custom trim on your truck and the great patina.
I'm getting the impression that correct hubcaps are either really hard to find or not many people like them. You hardly ever see them. Is there a warehouse full of dog dish hubcaps somewhere? Where'd they all go? Funny thing... I have a nearly identical truck but in the Ford flavor. Mine's a '66 F-100 Camper Special, all original w/ 47k miles. Looks like between you, me and jonzcustomshop we've pretty much got the market cornered on beige, eh? I only wish mine was a Chevy, too, but beggars can't be choosers. Wanna trade?

The truck is all-orig with the exception of the trans and rear gears. The orig trans was wiped-out and the 4.56 rear end was useless, so I put an O.D. trans and a 4.10 gear in it. Now, I can actually talk to my passengers without yelling at them. I'll dig up some more pics soon. Last edited by oem4me; 11-19-2010 at 09:01 PM. |

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
No, the hubcaps on the beige '62 are 1973 thru 1975 style( gold bowtie). These 70's style hubcaps do not match the classic '60's design. Its strange and sometimes funny how everyone likes the styling of the 60's Chevy trucks, but they don't like the styling of the factory hubcaps/stock wheels. The wheel covers are an integral part of the styling of the truck that was engineered, just like the fenders, hood and grills.When the original 3/4 ton rims are tossed, they soon discover ther original hubcaps will not attach to newer rims.And they also find out the character of the vehicle is altered with an incorrect hubcap and wheel combination. It's true some 3/4 tons came with split rims which are a pain to deal with, but 3/4 tons also came with one piece rims such as 17.5" or 19.5".Unfortunately,not many feel its worth the extra expense to find tires for these rims. They just find a set of very common 70's-80's wheels and end up with an incorrect look. I feel its also part of GM's fault for not offering a 16" one piece 8 lug wheel during the '60 thru '66 period, where both Ford and Dodge had these wheels available. IMO, the photos Sodly posted of the correct authentic 3/4 tons are priceless.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
There was dark green 63 3/4 ton with aftermarket wheels sitting outside of a body shop on my way home from work for a couple of months I used to drool on every day. It sat stock height and was stock othre than the wheels. I'd love to get my hands on that truck!

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
My 65 that I'm still looking for was a 1/2ton shortbed stepside.
I was building it to be the low - mean - trick truck that most like to do with that type of truck. I bought me a 66 3/4 ton to satisfy my hunger for these trucks. This one is staying a work truck - no, not a cruiser - but a truck for pulling and hauling. I own a TRUCK ![]() ![]()

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
Just getting started on fixing up 1964 C20. Cab is getting cleaned. Starting on frame /suspension soon. No they are not falling off the earth, Apple photos do this some times. If I Go back and rotate photo 360 degrees, after that they are fine, go figure technology. Both are C20’s in bottom photo, far one is 66’ CC, and closer on right is 64’ being worked on.
