Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Heres my 66 C10. Took all the trim off of it so I can buff it out and paint the white stripe again. Project took a little detour when we brought it out to the farm to haul lumber for the chicken coop. But I will be getting back to getting it all cleaned up and looking a little better. All original except the new wiring. Kind of hard to follow an 18,000 original mile truck though! haha

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
I really like the paint scheme on your truck, and the old school snap on tarp. Those were very popular when I was a kid.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
They are still out there this one was really a "barn find"
My buddy just pulled this out of a barn in elk grove ca. from the 1 st owner , has it running and driving already with a new carb,only thing thats been replaced is the carb,bed wood was replaced with plywood some where along its life,tires,wiper blades,and locking gas cap but the owner saved the o.g. gas cap and put it in the glove box........and he got it cheap... ![]() ![]()

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
i have my '66 insured through Chubb, and they send out a newsletter every so often...i saved this from one of the past ones...i had my wife scan it because i couldn't get it into a small enough format to attach here...i was able to upload it to Photobucket, but it might be hard to read for some folks...if you're interested, shoot me a PM with your email, & i'll send you the original file
it's gotta be one of the rarest 4x4 survivors around: ![]()

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Based upon what it would take to restore a truck to similar condition, my take is that this was one heck of a deal at a little over 15k, not just market value. Factor in a premium for the low mile, all-original aspect, and it's just stupid cheap.
Auctions are risky for sellers, as you never know who is or is NOT there to bid that day. The buyer on that day got very lucky. Same truck was sold a year or two before for about for 21k, which still wasn't bad. |

Mine is not clean but she seems pretty original except for the hubcaps, CB, MSD box (WTF?) and winch...

Cool, nice steering wheel, like the bungie cord keeping the door shut I presume?

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Finally dug out the 1960 Fleetside. This one has 22,000 original miles. I've had this truck maybe 12 years? or so. Original paint on Cab fenders doors and hood, bed has been redone. Interior completely original. I had done some clean up years ago under the hood and buffed it out. I put 15x8s and 235 75 15 tires and some chrome to brighten it up back then . Has a factory Hazard flasher with the hang tag,Radio and positraction. No rust ever and never been hit . Excellent driver..

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
That's really cool. Personally, I would love to see it with the factory skinny wheels when it's such an (otherwise) stock and original truck. But I can definitely appreciate the aesthetic you've created with the wider rubber, too. At least the hubcaps are there. That's big bonus points in my book!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Thanks, when I get the 59 cleaned up I will post better pictures. Its a 29,000 mile 100% original black paint truck except for the wheels again, still have them and THEY are going back on this one. This is one of the straightest trucks I've ever had.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Love that 60 truck. I hope one day I can get mine to look like that. It is hard to believe that there are some trucks out there that are in that shape. I am from Texas and growing up I see these trucks on the farms and they are always beat up. Like mine. It is great to see one in good shape. Great truck!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
It's really great to see your contributions to this thread. As you might have noticed, sometimes the originality threads on the forum can lag a bit. We've got a little momentum going here with these recent additions ...so keep em coming, I know you can.
Also, I don't even care that it's the wrong generation for us 60-66ers, I gotta see more of that black truck. |
