Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
Yep that rear end is a Dana 44. Very common under 1/2 ton GMC's. In fact your front end should also be a Dana 44.
That flatbed looks good Jason

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
Ok, I got the OK from the legal people, and they said I have every right to go get my truck. It has been titled in my name ONLY for the last 9 years, and was never in her name. I had a Sheriff's Deputy standing by (he said it was all legal too) just in case she showed up, or was there and got crazy.
It went smooth as silk. Backed in to the driveway, drug it up on the trailer, and booked out of there. She wasn't there, so no drama or problems!! In the pictures below, there is a F@rd pulling my truck home, but it is only out of necessity. He had a trailer, and the truck with the pintle hitch. Got it home, and rolled it off of the trailer and NO BRAKES!!! Good thing there wasn't anything behind us. Then we pushed it up in the garage, safe and sound!! Now the real fun begins!!! ![]() |

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
Thanks Bradley!
It was close on the height, but cleared by a couple of inches!! I was sweating it, as we were rolling it up the driveway. Just as we were rolling into the garage, I though about that I should have double checked the height! LOL Glad she fit! Now I need a name for it! You all are amazingly creative people, any suggestions?? I would like to have something that refers to the truck. Something to do with GMC, or 4x4, or K1002, etc. Blondie_k and I were referring to her truck as Luna-C before that all went to crap, so something along those lines. |

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
I like Babe!! Especially if it was staying blue!
Color plans (at this point) are dark charcoal from the body line just under the door handle, and a few shades lighter above that, with a Harley orange pin stripe to separate them. |

Babe the big blue OX
![]() It is hard to name a truck until you know it's personality.. When daughter named her 64 (Lola ) , I asked her "is it a male or girl truck"??? Her reply was; "it is now trans-gendered," after the tranny -swap took place.. ![]() ![]() ![]() Glad you have it home with no issues

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
From the passenger front, it makes me think of the iconic cartoon bulldog. And the coloring would fit. Any more ideas?? Something will come up!

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
j.kirn, I love your truck!! Do you have any more recent pictures of it. It is the reason I was/am debating the wide tires vs. skinny tires.

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
Here are some more pictures of what I am starting with.
The beastly 305A V6. ![]() And a little redneck engineering from a P.O. Would assume it is not my buddies handiwork, but who knows in a pinch, you do what you have to do. ![]() Dash ![]() More dash. When I parked it, the radio still worked. It took a few minutes to warm up, by then it came in almost as clear as my modern truck. ![]() Even more dash. ![]() Glovebox with the cardboard still in it! Not sure if it is a replacement, but good to have either way! ![]() Floor ![]() ![]() ![]() Somebody wrote an “L” under the paint under the hood ![]() Some goodies that came along with the truck. ![]() ![]() Both of these have the GMC logo on them. ![]() A full gasket kit for the engine! I guess if it needs it, this is the way to go!! After sitting for so long (9+ years) will the gasket set still be good? The box is unopened, so I would assume that the plastic is still around the gaskets inside. ![]() ![]() I guess the rear diff says 74 F@rd, not 9" F@rd.

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
SHE LIVES!!!!!!
Pulled out the plugs, put in some Marvel Oil, let it sit. Turned it over by hand a few times, and it rolled over smoothly. Cleaned and gapped the plugs took the battery out of my work truck, poured a little gas in the carb, and cranked it over for a bit, then she fired up...for a couple of seconds. |

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
Lightened up the truck quite a bit yesterday morning and this evening.
Removed pounds of bondo. It was still semi soft in the middle. It has been there at least 11-12 years as far as I know. I have had the truck for 9 years, and my buddy had it for a couple prior to that. It is on there a little thick! Passenger side pile. Drivers side pile. The hammer is 12" long for reference. |

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
Scored a near perfect 60-61 GMC hood, a factory fan shroud (not sure if it is for my 60 or not, but the price was right), MOST of a cab to frame mount kit, and most of a radiator core support mount kit.
Got all of these for a decent price. I am pretty excited about getting these! I had to unload the hood by myself, so this is the best picture I can get for tonight. The shroud is a little rough around the edges, and has a little surface rust, but it's only metal right! I posted his craigslist ad in the main 60-66 forum, so anyone looking could see if he has what you need. He has more than what he has listed. I have never met him before this evening. |
