most original 60-66 truck in existence?

[60-66]

Heres another one fresh out of the building. Bought this in 2008 . Doing a little re arranging in the building to fit more trucks ! 1960 C30 . Hazard flasher, windshield washers, power brakes, 283 , all 6 original BF Goodrich Silvertown tires still have the nubs on them. Story was it was owned by a John Deere dealer in New York. Owner was in his 90s and had passed in 2007.

Very interesting. Proof that low miles does not always equate to pristine condition. In this case, pictures DON'T tell the story! Engine paint for instance gives the impression of much more use than a scant 500 times around on the mile counter. And what's up with that graham cracker floor mat? I've seen flawless mats in 75K mile trucks. ?

Love this C30, wonder if it had John Deere on the doors at one point.

The pics do tell a lot to go with VERY low miles ..... paint under ignition switch ,seat, mirror arms, mud flaps, tires, heater hoses/clamps batt cables, nothing molested, ECT...

Beautiful, I love that the hazards still have the little tags and it has the original key chain. What's with that big square washer bottle? I've never seen one like that before

VERY NICE Jon, now maybe you can give me the one ton with the bent frame?

Thanks for the positive comments Bruce !? Actually , I feel it has quite a bit of its original paint left on the engine. This truck is from Auburn NY, not perfect dry Arizona or western states. I have NOS valve covers in boxes that the paint is peeling. As for the mat, you cant even move it without it breaking .Like to know why they dry out? I have a near perfect suburban rear mat doing the same thing , Im afraid to remove it. The truck is what it is , they cant all be "perfect".

1959 was the last year for the glass jar washer, 1960-1962 used this style in passenger cars and trucks. I think classicGMC had an NOS one in the for sale section. Then they switched to the more common washer bottle around 63-64.

Thanks Wally , if this one was a dump bed like the 64 is I might consider that . PS the 4x4 panel is up by the metal man Steve.

Great find. If it was perfect we would know Chevrolet didn't build it. Trucks were made to beat up.

Oops! Sorry Jon, that's not how I meant my comments to come across. I was just saying that even an extremely low mile truck can show a surprising amount of less than perfect cosmetics. The floor mat especially in this case. It's puzzling to see some mats endure very well, and then some disintegrate with no miles on them.
My mouth often tastes like a shoe. Hmmm.

Thank you for posting Jon, a great addition to this thread!!

[Fatherof3]

Split rims are gone and bed wood strips replaced, rest OG

[factorystock]

Excellent addition to this thread 60-66. This is what this thread is all about, most original and best preserved. IMO, we want a chance see them the way they looked in the prime of their life, before the repaints, before the wheel change, before the engine change, before the reupholstry. In other words, a visual history lesson.

[CustomCab66]

For you guys in central Texas I found this gem. Not sure of the mileage but it's complete. The spare in the back is 5 lug.

[CustomCab66]

Round two. It has later model hub caps on it though

[CustomCab66]

Round three

[60-66]

That is sexy ! Have any more pictures or detail Factorystock ?

Somewhere I have a few more, but I found these.

[allchevy58]

1964 C-30 with 49,000 original miles, it was on a dairy ranch in Yerington, Nevada and parked in a barn most of it's life.

Found this truck for sale! Looks to be pretty original and at a fair price. Only thing I am not sure about is "6000' is what I think it says underneath the badge. Has anyone seen this before?

GVW some states require it be on the side of the truck (maybe a farm truck)

[Original60Apache]

Maybe not a true original but we restored it as am original. 1960 Chevrolet Apache 10. 235, hydraulic clutch with correct bellhousing (searched all over for one!), granny low 4spd sm420, rear gears I believe are 3.90s. Got it when I was 12, worked on it with my dad for about a year and a half. Then I continued working on it under an awesome bodyman/painter. There we finished a little over a year later. The only thing we did that's not original is a split manifold (not headers) and 30" glasspacks out back. I drive it a ton but now it's in for winter. I make it a somewhat daily driver. Very cautious how and where I drive it. I'm on original style guy! Customs and hot rods are cool but I'm really into original! And that's the way we restored it! No one my age likes a 6 cylinder but that's the way I like it. In the pictures is my pickup and I with my mentor with his 55 Chevy I'm gonna help him with restoring. That was this last July. Got that crazy restoration bug inside me!

Sweet truck Nate, nice to see someone young that cares about stockers.

[60-66]

Wow Nate ! You didn't waste any time getting that done ! Nice work !! I see you kept the 16 inch rims , good choice.

[The Rocknrod]

60's didnt have mud guards on the back of the cabs?

[AcampoDave]

Way to go Nate. I understand how you feel about stock stuff. I've always been a fan of "keepin' it real"
