How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks - Page 36 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thought you guys might like a pic of the shop truck. It has a 9000 lb. winch on the back for pulling vehicles up on my trailer. It also has louvers on the hood sides which help keep the under hood cool. I got those louvers from a couple of core supports.

That is a sharp looking truck. I particularly like the side trim, and that you kept the white area around the grille.

Give us the story behind this one. Drivetrain? Suspension? Original flatbed?
I love it!

WILDSTANGRACING · 11-04-2009, 10:24 PM

scoti was your question for me ??

DWright · 11-05-2009, 11:07 PM

mine; be nice, its a work in progress... I just finished hacking the front crossmember from a '79 for the newer suspension, power disc brakes and steering. Does anyone know where I could find a set of 6-lug rotors to fit the '79 spindles? I already have new calipers so all I need is just the rotors; any help would be great. Looking back, I wish I had kept the truck it's original "patina green".

the dually began as a 66 custom cab half ton with fac air that was in sorry shape. i had a 64 1-ton with a rusty cab and a 87 dually with a tired motor. so, like most of you guys would do, i used the best of what was there. it's got a fresh 350 with holley pro-jection and electronic ignition, the frame and granny 4 speed are from the '64, the front disc-brake cradle and rear suspension are from the later model donor ( cool that you can cut the rivots on a much newer truck and the older frame is already drilled to bolt up the front and rear suspension). the bed came from a 50 model 1-ton. the total build took 13 months and everything was done in our driveway including the paint job.

thanks for your interest scoti, i will try to get some more pictures this weekend and post them.

tim, stop by anytime... we live in the shop and if we're not there, we're probably just out running parts.

Welcome aboard Jeremy. I like the "Old School" look.

WILDSTANGRACING · 11-04-2009, 06:45 PM

ruffrida2005 · 11-01-2009, 09:46 PM

Hell I wish I could do a suspension upgrade like that to my truck.

markeb01 · 11-01-2009, 09:53 PM

Very impressive. Unbelievable for a first time project. Nice work and great result. I'll bet every student knows who you are!

EVLPMKN · 11-01-2009, 10:01 PM

My class room walls are covered in music and car posters

I dont drive it to work very often due to my insurance policy. When I do I lock it up behind the school cafateria.

Thanks! I never thought I could build it this nice when I started. I think all my years of studying and performing music has taught me to pay close attention to every detaial, large or small.

Some parts I painted 3 to 4 times to get it right.

Not mine but a picture of this work horse should be included. Spotted in a very small Idaho back woods town. Wanted to check out the 4 wheel drive but a big guard dog refused access.

Interesting hood scoop trim. Thanks for including the pic.

If you look real hard, it looks like the hood ornament trim (not a functional scoop) from a 53 Hudson Jet, maybe Hornet.

By the way, I would like to say Hello! to all you 60-66 guys. I'm new to Chevy trucks but not to the old iron hobby. Here's what I just picked up...
