60-66 Chevy Truck spotters thread.

[paulspickupparts]

The tag axle was added at some point in time . Could have been off of anything Looks like an old IHC axle. Maily to take weight off the main drive axle.

I saw this 64 C10 a couple of days ago in front of a Goodyear store in Lincoln NE. Then yesterday it was at a shop in Walton NE, just east of Lincoln. Had to stop and then spoke to the shop owners. It is reported to be an all original, unrestored truck. There was not a spot of rust to be seen. It did have some usage, wear on the tailgate, a few dings, tear on the seat, but was otherwise a remarkably well preserved truck. Even the bed wood was intact, one plank was a bit warped, but not rotted at all. The guy who brought it in was getting tires on it and do some brake work so that they can ship it to his son somewhere in New York. And what in the picture looks like patina is actually just a layer of dust from storage. I would love to talk to the owner and get the history. Paint looks like it could be buffed and would be showroom condition.

I purchased some parts from the owner of this beautiful 66, long, fleet, big window, 327, powerglide truck last week. He is selling this truck along with a nice little selection of parts.

Normally I inhabit the 73 - 91 Blazers forum. Up in Northern California for Thankgiving and saw a couple of old trucks relevant to this forum today. Will get pis tomorrow and post for ID from the experts.

[eighteenninetytwo]

As promised. Northern California just south of eureka. I have seen these for a few years now and every time I'm up here I try to speak to the owner but it's a workshop and I have never (in ten years) seen a human being here.

[eighteenninetytwo]

The Apache at the far end has a V8 and it looks like it would fire right up given a battery and a polish. Bed rusted out of course. Nearer Apache has a straight 6.

[eighteenninetytwo]

Not sure what years these are, I presume about 60/61. But they're super cool.

[1971 GMC SHORTY]

Ok Try This Again

[The Rocknrod]

Man I had to take a second look at this, even backed up to take the pic.

On the main drag into the center of town. Used to be his Dad's.

I like how it's circular with a line running in it but not through it.

[piratexpress1369a]

Yup something happened there

[goatless]

Little late, but I took this in July of 2015 at the ABBA Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. One of the members of the band, in a band call the Hep Stars and pre-dates ABBA, travelled in this truck, or one like it.
