Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
1965. The fifth vehicle on top of snow covered mountain scene is a maroon suburban. "Maroon" was a standard color on 65's, not standard on '64's and '66's.Another train photo below, first vehicle on botton is "Fawn"( maybe my '65 C 20?-click on avatar), a standard 1965 color, not used on 64's and 66's. The emblems showing on the red trucks verify they are 65's.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
Here's another one from 1966 with the same truck in the background. Different racecar by then.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
I forgot to mention - I worked with a friend and his first job was "fitting the hoods" on the line in Flint on the 1960 Chevy pickups....
...which he did with a giant rubber mallet... (lol) K

The closest thing I can do now to relate to that time is to go to the March Meet and the Hot Rod Happening at Bakersfield. Front engined dragsters and AA/Fuel Altereds.......it don't get much better than that!

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
I was just thinking yesterday that we need nostalgic pics.
Pics, Brochures, anything about these trucks from the past. Here's my contribution:

It had small rectangular punches to form the grid pattern, and those punches were prone to breaking off (which causes you to run scrap parts). Some of you might be familiar with the GM Suggestion program, where submitters could be paid for ideas that saved the corporation money: Dad made enough in suggestion money off that grille project that he was able to pay cash for our first pickup, a '69 GMC.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
I would be willing to bet my truck is in this lot of trucks, according to my records, my grandfather purchased his/my truck in the summer of 66 here in texas, it is a fully optioned factory air truck...wow...awesome pic, wish i knew for sure if my truck is in there...very cool to see.
