wats up guys

i frequent my local pNp's(junkyard) and sometimes there are some 60-66 trucks.

Besides looking for parts that i need. what rare items are there that maybe i

can pick up while im there. i know there is some trim and tach dash. what

else is there that we can save from the crusher.

any cool stuff you found?

factory jacks are always good to find, especially if you can get the hold downs under the seat. block off plates and radio delete plates. deluxe heaters, deluxe controls too. fleet side rear tail light assy.

cb1965 · 01-20-2011, 09:20 PM

i have seen a few trucks with brackets on rear window. i picked up a pair.

are these original or somebody just bolted them up?

k1rodeoboater · 01-20-2011, 09:27 PM

...wait...so those aren't gun racks?!?!?!? There's like 4 or 5 60-66's in the pull a part place back in PA with those.

cb1965 · 01-20-2011, 09:33 PM

??? dont know if they are. but have seen a few trucks with them. doesn't

sound prety safe. hit a bump , gun falls. bullets flying inside the

cab

LOL you've not grown up or been around around guns much then I take it. 90% of what you see in movies and TV about guns is made up. They don't just go off by dropping them or getting tossed around.

That too and if you've got a gun in a gun rack it should be unloaded, or at the very least a round not in the chamber.

I threw my old jack away years ago...I had no idea it was worth anything. Oh well live and learn

cb1965 · 01-20-2011, 11:19 PM

i doubt the brackets were a dealer option or even a gm product then....

anyone got more stuff? i really want to learn more about what stuff came

with our year trucks

oldblue1968chevy · 01-20-2011, 11:48 PM

tach dashes (tilt/towhooks/speedwarnings) (in 67-72)

**aerotruk63** · 01-21-2011, 02:15 PM

For me it's anything that's an accessory. Check out the info starting on page 5 of the "Historical/ This I Know"

When I was growing up in Weatherford Texas, I thought all trucks CAME with gun racks!

billybaloo · 01-21-2011, 02:36 PM

That's an Easy Rider rifle rack. With room for not one, but two of your favorite rifles.

My 65 came with gun racks.I plan on leaving them.
