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?
60-66: Do you know about the paint pattern used on the transmission? My bell housing was completely painted blue but if anything was on the Muncie 318 it completely flaked or worn off. I have seen some trucks that had an overspray of blue across the bell housing and then the transmission was just bare and then others who have completely painted the bell housing and transmission blue to match the engine. It may be a plant to plant difference but I wasn't sure what was more common or "correct".

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.

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.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I agree, has some paint work on the wheels. Wheel color should be an off white, not a gloss white color. Color of inside of bed doesn't quite match the color of the outside for some reason. Needs closer inspection. But everything else looks pretty good, interior and exterior. What's nice about GMC 1/2 ton V6, it came with a 3.07 ratio and a rear leaf spring set up. Color appears to be a GMC only color, Terrace Blue

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
My understanding is that rosettes were used then, and these appear to be pop rivets. I wouldn't touch that truck with a 10 foot pole without seriously good documentation.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
My '66 C-20 is pretty original. I bought it from the original owner. He thought it was too white when he got it from the dealer so he had the dealer paint the trim insets red.
I have repainted the boards in the bed and replaced the split rims with later model wheels. Other than that she's an original. Keith |

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I am new to this forum as I just purchased a "bone stock" 66 C10 SWB Step side. Somewhat rare MT 327. Seller/dealer said that a restoration was done in 2019, which appears to have been primarily cosmetic, repainting the frame and body (in original color) etc. Not sure where the fender badges are, maybe aftermarket replacement fenders. Original wiring has given me fits chasing down shorts and bad grounds. Other than a complete tune up and running some dedicated grounds I am probably going to leave it as is. Maybe power steering as tight turns are an effort.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I cant focus, either on my computer or phone well enough to tell if thats actually a rivet or the factory spot welded tag . Wish we could get a closer look. If thats what your seeing , fine but when these were welded , sometimes it left a bigger impression in the tag. That GMC script on the tag cant be reproduced . Ive tried . One of my tags was severely damaged so I just straightened it the best I could

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
That paint in the bed , doesn't make sense ? Why is it not on the inner fenders ? Pontiac didn't paint the wood body color . I agree on the wheels , they definitely look redone and hubcaps look very nice .
