Looks like either the fenders were replaced so the correct holes weren't there for the badges or the previous owner decided to close up the holes and leave the badges off. You can purchase an original set or aftermarket reproductions of the fender badges, add 4 holes, and you'll have the correct badges back on in a jiffy.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Could not find any body work on the inside of the fenders, so probably aftermarket. I have ordered the emblems from CJ Pony Parts. Thanks

Yes current owner put the chrome mirror on ,he has the original . He powder coated the rims and new radial tires. Other than that the truck is original paint. Bed wood , as near as we can figure the original owner brush painted the green paint on the wood , possibly sprayed ? Hard to tell. But the bolts all around the perimeter are still plated like they should be on a Pontiac Michigan built GMC. Current owner in California also lives in Wisconsin in the summers and is only 45 minutes from me . VIN TAG is spot welded , he double checked that for me .

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Here's a pic of my '66. Original paint (what's left of it) Texas farm truck.
Minus the lowering springs and steelies, it's pretty much as it left the factory. 230, column shift truck. Runs like a sewing machine, but smokes like a 2 stroke (valve seals? rings?) It's probably getting a heart transplant this year.... |

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Thanks 60-66 for posting those "true barn find" photos. Reminds me of your red '66 GMC when you first got it. Owner took a few liberties to spruce it up, but, IMO, looks better with black wall tires and painted mirrors.

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 hope they took their time cleaning and polishing, would hate to see unecessary burn marks from a buffer. There is no better original paint reviver than you Sodly!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Question about the ivory white paint process on outside of bed. Did GMC take a completely white bed panel and repaint the bottom section body color or was the body panel all one color and white was added to the top? Or in other words, is the top section 100% white and the bottom section 100% body color?

This should help to answer the above question. This is my old (original paint) '65 GMC. Now belongs to a good friend. If you look at how thin the green paint is on the bedside, you can see that it is definitely painted white beneath. |

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Thanks for posting photos sscooter, that's what I was thinking. Tu tones were pretty common on Custom's, so they probably had a lot of exterior bed panels already painted white and ready to go whenever a tu tone truck needed it.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
IMO, 25K would be right in the ball park and playing it safe. I put the original '63 cost ( approx $2600? ) into the CPI and it came out around 24K. If it was loaded with the options your red '66 has, 30K+.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Heres another Barn find GMC . This showed up on Facebook a year or so ago. I was in contact with the New owner but lost track of the conversation and do not have interior pictures . 9199 original miles . Stripe was added , Canadian built GMC . New owner kept talking about painting this and that to make it look new again , I did my best to try and get him to leave it alone , but ?

For instance, if you were to plug in the original cost of a pack of baseball cards from back in the day, inflation would show a value of just a few dollars in todays money. Tell that to those that are currently paying millions for a single rare card, gum not included. Lol! Last edited by oem4me; 04-01-2022 at 06:18 PM. |

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Wow, thanks for posting another incredible find, 60-66. I agree, leave it alone, or try to figure out how to remove white stripe without damaging paint underneath. Canadian GMC's were basically Chevy's, even the engine is painted Chevy Blue instead of GMC red. Rims are painted black like Chevys also, but prefer the white painted rims found on American GMC's. A Canadian ad from '66. Red truck is a '64 or '65? ASFIK, almost impossible to detect a base model '64 GMC from a base model '65 GMC.
