Very nice! I always liked those better than the Ford C series.

**special-K** · 07-18-2015, 07:22 AM

GM somehow captured the CK cab styling on a box without making it look too funky. Just funky enough to be cool. 60-66s were the most stylish bodies ever. Actually, 55-66, but these tilt cabs were only made in this style. They truly are a unique body. The new LCFs were stout looking trucks, too. I believe that truck shown is a '75.

Nice looking '61, but yeah it sure is overloaded. That truck actually has no business hauling a load like that. It looks brand new and is probably just a promotional picture. I would say that it is not even connected to it.

**special-K** · 07-20-2015, 09:50 PM

Yeah, all that on a 60 series?? I imagine it took as long to carefully place all those above the stanchions as it would take to haul a second load. Totally staged. I wondered what the truck behind was up to

I bet he even drove the truck himself back then.

For those not familiar with Nascar, he owns a top notch team today in the Cup Series.

Great looking truck there. I used to drive the Ford version back when I was in the Air Force. Being I am 6'4", it was darned uncomfortable and a chore to lift my leg high enough to engage the clutch and brake.

68panelman · 07-28-2015, 07:10 PM

Great looking truck!, just a simple work all day machine

68panelman · 07-28-2015, 07:13 PM

Do they classifiy as a 5 window cab?, I know I know...

C10 - C90 Bill · 07-28-2015, 10:29 PM

Good looking trucks.

I would say you could call it a 5-Window Cab. They were options that were usually found on Road Tractors more than any other.

68panelman · 07-28-2015, 10:36 PM

I recall seeing the cabs with the blank cutouts

68panelman · 07-28-2015, 10:38 PM

Or the usual single rear window with the corners uncut

C10 - C90 Bill · 07-28-2015, 10:41 PM

Right, the "Blank" sheet metal is there on all of them that didn't have the option.

Cool option, if you need it, but I prefer the sheet metal, lol.

**truckfan** · 07-30-2015, 12:13 PM

not mine but a cool truck

**special-K** · 08-03-2015, 10:08 PM

5 distinct body types in one year. How great those days were! (Yeah I know,there's 6, but the 550 and 600-670 are the same design except fender/grille width). How about that fat cab 800? Advance design cab/Task Force nose. The DFs and D/DWs are all Advance Design and the rest are all Task Force. GMC was ridin' high in the saddle back then!

watahyahknow · 08-04-2015, 01:21 AM
