1960 -66 Truck literature, ads, post cards, books, posters, manuals

[1963c-10]

A few more pieces...The 1st is the accessory handout, the accessory price list and the 63 dealer truck information book. It holds a copy of all the different model trucks books inside of it.

This poster came in the same T-O-P presentation box as the first four slideshows from my previous post.



Thses were a lucky purchase, their huge!











This one came in a Communication kit.





This has a cardboard backing. I found this in the town of Paris, New York State while looking for parts for my 62 K10, 30 years ago. They blocked off the windows of the closed dealership with it. It was cut to fit the opening so I had it sheared to salvage this section. I've included a copy of a slide that shows the complete poster in the background.





This one came from a guy I was introduced to. He saved this in a purchase of a closed dealership in Sherbrooke, Quebec. He actually gave it to me, very kind jesture. A client of mine had it laminated to preserve it. I believe this to be a Canadian version of 60-66's.

Cool stuff, Thanks for starting the thread, should be a good one.
Could you take a closer look at the second post for me, It looks like the step side next to the cattle has a fleetside barden bumper, hard to tell from the posted picture,
Thanks >W<

Wow! I could spend the rest of the day looking at these pictures and watching videos. Just might since snow and cold outside. Nice topic, thank you to all for posting your collections.

I can get a better pic when I get home for you. Its actually on of the easier ads to find as it ran in the larger magazines. I think mine was in time or life magazine. I see it pop up on ebay quite often. Its the larger 11x17 size magazine.

[1963c-10]

And I agree....a good thread, especially for those who like the nostalgic pictures or those doing factory restorations. There is tons of literature/memorabilia out there that a lot of people are not aware of. I've seen a few new things today myself.

I think between Aerotruk63 and myself we have the 63's covered pretty good. And nice score on the free 63 poster....probably worth $100 or more.

But keep the post coming folks....its getting good.

[60-66]

Heres some of the smaller showroom posters. Ive never seen any others 1962 to 1967, only these three 1960 1961 and 1968. I have 1973 and up but nothing else in earlier years.

Cool thread!
Here's the cover of a 1960 GMC Canadian sales brochure I have. Only have the cover scanned on my computer at the moment. Will try to add more pages soon.

[1963c-10]

Nice additions.

[1963c-10]

Couple more pieces I have, I'm trying to get boxes unpacked from a move almost 2 years ago, so I'll post as I find it.

1st two pics are the 1965 New product training booklet. The other 3 are chevy super service posters. The sewing one I picked up for my mom (shes a big quilter in her free time).

[1963c-10]

Also have these: 1964 custom accessories book and the 1964 new product program book

[murphy98]

Here are the other pages from my '60 Canadian GMC brochure, one interesting thing to note on the engine options page. It shows the GMC V6! To my Knowledge the GMC V6 was never offered as an option on Canadian built trucks. I believe you could order a US built truck with the V6 at a Canadian dealerships so I guess that's why the V6 was shown in the brochure. If anyone can elaborate on that please do!

[murphy98]

Final pages of the same brochure

"built to do the work you buy them for reliably for years at low operating expense with just normal care and attention" .......... GAH It's like they had the consumers in mind or something!!!!


Awesome thread Jon. Might have to start something like this in the 73-87 section.

[60-66]

Heres a few Porcelain signs, light up signs, neon clock etc.

[1963c-10]

60-66, you have my respects sir.....you are the king of chevy & gmc truck sign collection.

Some very nice pieces and thanks for shareing your collection with us. I've seen tons of stuff on this thread I've never seen before.

[1963c-10]

Nice....thanks for shareing. We're starting to cover some more years now too!!

[Revelation]

Awesome thread! I collect enough different things I need to stay out of this thread before I get the bug. I'd love to have some of old paint chip books as it is. PPG/ ditzler or glasurit books would be perfered

[1963c-10]

Heres a copy of the January 1963 dealer salesman training magazine. This one still has the comment cards inside. I believe Aerotruk63 has the complete kit as it came with some film also.

[aerotruk63]

I think you and I need to talk when bidding on literature, were bidding against each other driving up the prices! lol

[1963c-10]

haha.....can do. can't help that we both have good taste in literature. maybe we should just open a museum together

[aerotruk63]

You read my mind, my garage/residence in the planning /saving for stage, will be called the museum. I need one place for the collection and oh yeah, a place to live.

[1963c-10]

i keep threatening to put a 2nd floor over the barn im building to put a place to sleep on those long truck working nights
