Visited a store in my town this weekend that sells local honey, meats, & various southern foods. I got a brochure with their pricing & found this 4/5/6 (?) stepside in their vintage pics on the back page.

Fun shot...

My first '60 Apache...... About 1986, when I was in college. Next to it was my '53 Ford flatbed ranch truck, but I figured that my set off the Ford haters.....

Do you still have the 1960 Apache?

Nope. Had to sell it about 5 years after that pic was taken. Life got in the way of trucks...... BUT, eventually, what goes around, comes around.

Here's the rest of the story:

Ontario to be exact. The pic has gone around on a Facebook group

Black bumper bolts as well!

It also has mis-matched tires front-to-rear. Another special Canadian thing?

What about the single-hole hood opening in the front and dark turn signal bezels?

That picture looks like it was taken when the plant was brand new. The line to the left is empty. Almost no clutter near the line. The floor looks very clean but dusty, like whitish concrete dust. And the employees are smiling.

No. Anybody could order different front vs rear vs spare tires.

That's why the tire options are structured as "Xxx", "Yxx" and "Zxx" where:
X = front
Y = rear
Z = spare

If that is in fact the Oshawa assembly plant then it had been producing vehicles since the early 1900's.

The photo could be immediately after model change, or showing the two short repair lines that occur after the end of final/roll test. If that is the case then either the drivers haven't shunted any vehicles over to that side, or they are only working one line due to production volume (after hours or Saturday repairs).

They could be smiling because it's "time and a half" for overtime ("double time" for Sundays).

- Or - they could just be "clean and neat", like this photo of the Fremont body drop.

If this was Flint there would be all kinds of vehicle bodies, dunnage, support vehicles (forklifts and electric scooters) and junk stacked in the aisleway.

I love the old production line photos- of just about any vehicle. But the GMC truck one is particularly cool.

**LostMy65** · 04-05-2016, 09:08 PM

It's not a single hole/slot. The center section is painted black.

Correct, lost65 .. Factorystock would be proud. All GMC's started life that way.
If this is a factory assembled truck, it's clearly special order unit with all the variance it shows. You gotta like a factory oddball!

One for today. Hopefully not a repeat.

From another thread..

I'll say 62 because the grille retainers on a 63 are straight across the top not curved like in the picture.
