Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
Overall plan is to retain as much of the originality as possible.
Immediate items: Reattach the speedometer cable to the transmission (Going to need to find some info on this) Replace one busted brake line Ditch the split ring tires and replace with some 8 lug steel rims I have laying around, then maybe 235/85R16 tires to keep the tall skinny look. Order some new front fenders Send it out to get replacement rockers/inner and outer/can corners/inside kick panels Send it out to weld up and repair the cab mounts on all corners Try to get any patch panels painted close to the current matte red/orange color Then drive it and show it off as much as possible. |

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
Maybe find used fenders in good enough shape to use that will blend better. The replacement ones I have seen do not match exactly, the crease in the front is different, and the fit is off. I pitched my new ones and found originals for one truck I had.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
Great find. Glad to hear you are keeping her original. I would seriously consider keeping those original fenders and just have them patched, correctly. If they are original to the truck you will probably never get another fender to line up as well. You do not want to purchase new reproduction fenders. They are a nightmare to get to fit. What ever you decide keep those fenders with the truck. Maybe in the back room of your shop, but don't get rid of them. Just my 2 cents worth. I really like your new purchase. Good luck with it.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
This is Facebook Marketplace find but a find nonetheless. Not sure if the link will work but I will give it a shot. Thoughts?

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
New fenders wont save time nor money. Very few, if any, are gonna bolt up. Lots of massaging has to be done to get them to fit decent

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
And how.
Looks like about three different type components maybe more to make that.

If you remember the ad, I got him to knock $1K off, which I feel was fair. I still haven't found a good comparable truck to figure how good of a deal I got. |

235/85R16's on steel rims are what I run on mine. They look good and perform well. Just be careful as some steel 16's have rivets that will bind against the drums and warp them ever so slightly and cause no end of impossible to figure out brake problems (ask me how I know!) You don't want to mess up those front drums, as they are very hard to replace. The good news is when dialed in right those big 12" drums do a real good job, even if like me you overload that thing and make it work for a living like God intended it to do. The speedo cable actually goes to the xfer case, but if you can't find the correct longer length cable, you can attach it to the trans like in a 2wd, it just won't read right in 4low. Have fun with your new toy. Tom

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
VERY ROUGH, but really cool!
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...9742714932867/ Very rare 1961 Gmc for sale. I just bought it and was going to spend the next couple weeks parting it out but I figured I’d try to sell it complete like this to someone who has been looking for a pickup optioned like this or is working on one like it. It’s a rough old girl but is a custom, with a 305 V6 and a rare hydramatic 4 speed automatic and the correct one piece driveshaft. Motor is froze up, the linkage on the transmission at least shifts smoothly. The custom trim is all there as well. Chrome grille, windshield trim, fender emblems, etc are all pretty hard to find pieces and it’s got them all. Asking $1500 cash obo. If it’s still here in a couple weeks I’ll start stripping it down. As usual, I don’t care nor does anyone else care if you think it’s too high priced or too low priced. There were very few pickups optioned out like this, and I believe GMCs were the only pickups with the hydramatic. Any questions message me on here or call/text 785-two5nine-165eight

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
You are absolutely correct. You are spot on, on all counts. I do not care who disagrees. I am a parts dealer myself. Not one teenie tiny ashamed of it in the least. We are a big part of the supply chain that makes it possible for others to enjoy the same vintage trucks we love. That gives us the right to makes such decisions. We walk the walk. If anyone wants to criticize that; let the SHOW us. Talk is cheap.
