Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
One of those time capsule type of vehicles! Note the factory options on this one: bumper guards, inside tire carrier, western mirrors, back up lights and 3 piece heavy duty 15" rims. Like the period topper and step bumper also!

Used only during the season and stored in a shed the rest of the year.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Question for purists out there..
On the original inline 6's was the intake manifold bare cast iron or painted to match the engine? I've seen painted and unpainted examples but I have not found confirmation either way of what was factory stock. |

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Intake was engine color and painted same time as the engine. Which leads me to believe the exhaust manifold on a 6 cylinder was also painted engine color as it was most likely an assembly. Great question!

Thank you! I've look throughout the internet and could never find an answer. Hopefully that will help someone else's Google search

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Here’s some pictures from one of the Lambrecht trucks. Exhaust and intake were painted on the engine as a unit. This is a 64 c10 with 4 miles on the odometer . This is original paint yet.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Also, the transmission from what I’m seeing is either bare casting or painted black from what I’ve been able to document from original trucks. There’s another person claiming that transmissions had red primer on them , but I have never seen that , just on transfer cases. Your best example is your own truck if those details can be uncovered by careful cleaning. Transmissions were not on the engine when painted.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Great truck. After viewing the eBay listing I must confirm two things. Chips in windshield confirms this truck once lived in Montana. Second, as someone here previously mentioned, these trucks left the factory with rust in the lower tail of the front fenders. Sodly, thanks for posting.

It got me fired up! Right in your back yard there, Bruce! Wonder if he'll get anywhere near his asking price. Pretty crazy.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I have a 66 gmc that is the most original I've ever seen. Wiring harness is still intact. v6 4 speed. radiator is gone. other than that under the hood is pretty much intact. The body is bad though

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Looks like it's worthy of a closer inspection. Suspiciously clean wheels and other concerns, like remnants of green paint on bedwood, when claimed "has had no paintwork".

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
That 63 is a very nice looking truck, with just enough wear and tear to make look only a few years old, which is the look that I really like. And it has a drive train that I would really want, V6 and 4 speed, being a Canadian means that truck would probably cost me twice the 43K. I think I will keep the one I have the colour isn’t as nice and motor isn’t as desirable, but I have 10K into it, not 43+. Another thing we have to consider is that 10 years from now, what are these trucks going to be worth, maybe zip.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Rivets are also used in this super low mileage '62 GMC. Probably same assembly plant, my guess Pontiac, Michigan.
