Very cool pics ..... I had a guy come up to me last week and ask me " is that a 66"? He said he could remember assembling these exact trucks on the line back in 66. He aslo pointed out that his 66 with a 283 got better mileage than his new truck( he was driving a late model GM 1/2 ton) which didn't make sense with today's technology.

Seems every time I take this truck out there is a story.....

Very cool thread. thanks

My dad worked in a GM dealers body shop and said in 62 you could not buy the 60/61 style replacement hood any longer from GM/chevy ....So when you see a 60/61 with a later hood they may have been hit and replaced LONG ago

Yeah, there was a TSB about it--from what I've found, the hoods were very expensive to manufacture, so rather than keep making them for the crash replacement panel service, they just told all the dealers to replace them with the '62-up hoods.
I thought it was cool that those trucks in the pic seem to have exactly that.

Are you sure those aren't 62s in the photo? When I look closely I think I see 62 grilles.

Looking at the Carryall, it looks like Jr. West Coast mirrors were an option. Sometimes I wish I still had mine.
