1960-66 Chevy / GMC Truck Buyers Guide

What is a buyer's guide you may be wondering?

Well, it is a guide to let you know what types of things to look for on a truck of this model that you may be considering purchasing. Maybe you saw an ' ol' 1964 short bed fleet side' down the road and asked if it was for sale. Now you are wondering what problem areas to check out, what areas are prone to rust, what parts or pieces are oftentimes missing? That is where this guide comes in.

This article is meant to be a "guide" not a book, so every single thing that might be wrong with a potential truck will not be covered. The items listed in this article are the most common issues found with these old rigs. At the bottom of the article is a list of a few books that will provide you with even more information.
