After viewing all of them, that one is just about as sweet and accurate as one could get. I would love to know who owns it and see it in person at a show sometime.

I like (gomer) too! Brings back memories for me. I learned to drive in a truck almost identical.

ol Curt · 01-14-2009, 09:40 PM

I can't wait till mine is finally back in that color!

**Matt's k5** · 01-20-2009, 02:27 AM

4dranch · 01-20-2009, 08:01 AM

Nice pictures Matt.

*LILRED66* · 01-20-2009, 11:36 AM

Here are a few more I have come across while canvassing the web. Some of them are very near stock and some are a spiced up a bit, but I wanted to share. Enjoy.

4dranch · 01-20-2009, 11:48 AM

Thanks John for the pictures, I really like that tow truck.

scotts62 · 01-20-2009, 03:08 PM

I like the looks and color of the blue one!

**Matt's k5** · 01-20-2009, 03:40 PM

Thanks 4dranch, i installed power steering and rebuilt the front end last summer i will get pics up as soon as possible here are some other pics the night i drove it home and after the rebuild

4dranch · 01-20-2009, 04:04 PM

Don't meen to highjack this thread.

Matt,
And I know I ain't the smartest, but isn't there suppose to be some kind of coil spring on the front of your truck?

**Matt's k5** · 01-20-2009, 04:06 PM

no 62 had torsion bars 63 whent to coil springs hard to see in pic

**Matt's k5** · 01-20-2009, 04:07 PM

forgot too add the big hole in the lower a arm that is where the torsion bar goes in from the back

4dranch · 01-20-2009, 04:35 PM

learn something new everyday...
Thanks Matt

welsh kev · 01-25-2009, 05:57 PM

This is mine as I bought it in May 2005....

.... complete with "long-range" fuel tank!

Here she is in August 2006, doing duty as back-up truck at our Harley club's rally...

And it's staying pretty much that way too, just had the rusty bits replaced with new metal, seat re-upholstered as can be seen in the slideshow here;

http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i3...t=aef656e3.pbw

This truck still works part-time, hauling firewood, trash, Harleys, and anything else that I need moving. That's what it was built for, and I like to see old vehicles (and railway locos) doing what they were made to do, not sitting in a museum as dead as a dinosaur skeleton.

Sweet! Yeah i got the email of them too!

We had a dump truck like that but it was a '78 Chevy

jonzcustomshop · 01-26-2009, 04:09 PM

^ that big guy is a 63- check the fender emblems- The big trucks used the same grille 62-63, I found this out, I was hoping to find a 63 style big truck grille, then discovered the 2 years were the same on the big ones.

joe231 · 01-26-2009, 04:15 PM

that is crazy......
i'm not up on my fender emblems, usually just look at grills, most trucks i see have no emblems....

jonzcustomshop · 01-26-2009, 06:00 PM

Yeah I learned them when I worked for golden state, then when I was looking for some cowl panels without emblem holes... seems most of the trucks in the yard were 62, or 65.
I so wanted a cool looking big truck 63 grille, since the 456 one is neat I thought the 63 would be special....

Legend56BC · 01-26-2009, 06:47 PM

My daughter picked this 1960 GMC 910 up in the summer and is working like mad on it so I would consider it a stocker until she swaps out the 3spd and puts in a Turbo 350(with the adaptor kit).Her last car she built was a 58 Pontiac Pathfinder(Canadian model on Chevy chassis) and it ended up sold in Winnipeg Canada.Her boyfriend is a motorhead as well so they spend lots of time together...

factorystock · 01-26-2009, 09:34 PM

Wow, great representations of clean GMC's.I like the original paint colors and tu tones on these GMC's. I have always said GMC got it right the first time with their grilles. Canadian GMC's ( 910's) are interesting because they have Chevy engines and frames.

**Corts60** · 01-28-2009, 02:01 PM

Love that GMC!

TwiggyTheDrummer · 02-03-2009, 09:54 PM

The only custom touches on mine are fiberglass cowl hood, rear roll pan, filled filler neck, cab seams, and replaced tailgate chains with latches inside the bed, color, wheels, and interior. The drivetrain, frame, and majority of body are stock. The only reason for these changes were to add custom touches, clean up some body lines, and fill the void for parts that couldn't be found. As far as a hood goes mine was rusted out and there's a company nearby that makes fiberglass parts and their only stock 62-66 hood is a pin-on. But besides that, I just wanted to make it a good looking, comfortable show truck and classic cruiser.
