Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Thank you guys! It's been a passion I'm gonna stick to! Already lining out to do a '49 Chevy 2 dr Deluxe Styline (two door sedan car) with 216 and 3spd. Also the 55 Chevrolet Del Ray in the pictures. And a 54 Bel Air with 235 and powerglide, 51 Chevrolet club coupe, 216, 3spd. 47 Chevrolet Pickup with GMC 302 "big six" and trans is not yet figured out. And a customer 48 Chevrolet 2 door Styline. All the car belong to the body man other than the 48. Much to look forward to and enjoy. And there are still more to come in the future!

Also, glad to see the Lampassas swb was bought by a member - congrats! I posted that one a while back, then just noticed today someone posted it in this thread. It was a local rancher's truck and he had clearly hauled some cattle in that bed, the cage wasn't just to impress the local cowgirls! It was a cool truck, looked at it in person and ALMOST jumped on it. Glad you got it Rustylew! Funny, I just moved from Mesa a few years back, there were some good finds out there as well. Looking forward to some updates on that great little C10. Last edited by jocko; 03-19-2017 at 12:15 PM. |

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Good name for it, I'm getting sick of hearing patina all the time. White was a common color in south west states, especially with trucks without air, because it reflects heat better. Notice how paint wears at different rates, especially at transition from top of fender to behind grill panel. It appears the front end clip was not painted in one shot, rather pieced together at different times or days with lighter and heavier coverage.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Thanks Bruce , there goes my chances of owning that one.........LOL . Seriously though , this truck is a perfect example of how a white, or off white, truck with the B98 side molding trim option really looks. Meaning , 1 , no other chrome , just factory ordered side moldings over white paint. And , 2 , NO red insert paint or Black insert paint between the moldings on the door and bed . You would have thought that since white trucks are the only ones with black tailgate letters that they would have carried that over to the side moldings , but they did not. This sure is a virgin truck in so many respects.
It also blows out another theory. Notice the steering wheel. 66s used three different wheels. This truck has the same steering wheel as a custom 66 would have instead of the previous year 1965 style plain wheel that was also carried into 66. I was starting to see a pattern that 66s in C20 and up plain janes received the 65 wheel, as it was a beefier wheel compared to this thinner design Nova steering wheel for 66 . NICE TRUCK !!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Although not original it has a ton of NOS parts on it and is at least 98% restored to original.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Sweet! Did you see anything about the one going across the block at Mecum auction? I saw a guy mention it on Facebook. I think it was a '60-63 with 34k original miles.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Looks like the rear axle has been changed to a 5 lug setup and the fronts are still 6 lug.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
A friend of mine found this 1957 3/4 ton week before last in a barn and was able to buy it CHEAP! It has 14,000 original miles, still had the last oil change sticker on the windshield. Someone had painted it with a brush, the thick paint kept the body in tip-top shape!!!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Does anyone know what the seller paid for this truck at the Lambrecht auction? I have yet to see any of these "time capsule" vehicles bring anywhere near the money that was paid for them at the auction. Have any of you?

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
1963 C30 all original except trailer hitch was on when purchased in 1975. I replaced the bed with deck plate. I rebuilt 292 engine in the late 70's and repainted the truck in the early 80's. I repainted the interior with rattle can...
wrong color! Truck has several hundred thousand miles and still going strong. It has worked hard hauling firewood and other things. "Big Green" is considered a member of the family!! |

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Found this one in a farmers barn down the road. Was put in storage in 1978 and only has 86,000 original miles. Started right up after I cleaned out the fuel tank. It will be my next project.
