Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Wow that is really nice. I see you still have the numerical paint markings on the firewall too. One of the best features of this site is the presence and acceptance of a wide variety of different build styles. There’s everything here from pure stock to bagged customs. The membership pretty much embraces all of them.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Plainred65, that is an amazing truck!! Welcome to the forum!! I really like the low option trucks as well since the truck that got me into 64-66 C10s was plain with only heavy duty springs and a 292 as extras. Hope to see more of you and your truck, we need more of your type around here!

Anyway, glad these details get noticed and brought to light by somebody. Eventually we may compile enough info to actually aid in an accurate restoration effort. Keep it up, eh? |

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Well....I've posted a few pic's of my '66 4000 GMC on a couple other threads..
But it's in pristine..(at least original) condition. As stated earlier...some bigger trucks out on the farm stayed under cover most of the year. Mine was spec'd by a Berry Farmer in Corbett, Oregon....at the mouth of the Columbia River Gorge...it was in the barn except for about six weeks a year, at which time it made multiple "sorties" to the "Smuckers" or "Scenic Fruit" warehouses...here in Orient..then back to the barn for an oil change and a shot of grease. The "Big Truck" odometers are six digit spools showing the hundred thousand column. She says 097,??? miles.. Everything works, right down to the low air buzzer. Note the fawn colored firewall....and the silver/gray interior. The first 4 pic's were before bringing it home.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Not really, this is the way Chevy V8's in this era came from the factory. A lot can be learned from an original low mileage vehicles if you are into accurate restorations. A few years ago, many on this site did not even know 327's and 292's were green, 283's were gray and 230-250's were blue in trucks up to 1966.

Okay...one of you OE specialists.. I haven't spent that much time around '60-'66 Chev's...I'm more checked out on the GMC's. So I have a couple silly questions...maybe one of yous can clarify things fer an old guy... First..Was the white lower panel under the dash bezel correct...? And were the hood hinges & springs galvanized/silver..? And...my '63 has the manual throttle cable, and it is located directly on the right of the column, next to and level with the ignition key...spaced like the rest of the knobs. Is mine in the wrong spot...?
