Needs a home! Someone on this site so we can watch it evolve! Snot mine
It`s got the Custom Deluxe moldings on it, wonder what other options and accessories it`s got. Say`s it has the seats in it.

On the road to pick it up now with my cousin! Ever since I got mine he has been itching to get going on one. We live 2 blocks from each other and he is truly like a brother to me. This is going to be fun!

Awesome! Always love to see these go to a good home.

perro13 · 01-18-2012, 10:38 PM

Did u guys get it.

burbluv · 01-18-2012, 11:25 PM

We did! It was a 63 and not a 60 and I have more pictures but need to warm up and then I will get more on but here is a picture of my cousin enjoying loading up the GMC.

perro13 · 01-18-2012, 11:39 PM

told u, nice solid body

burbluv · 01-19-2012, 12:42 AM

Yeah it was super straight. Hopefully he can get the engine to fire up tomorrow. It had some crazy stuff with it too. The custom trim on the sides, the trim around the front window, an installed Stewart Warner motor minder gauge, wood interior on dash and door sidings (guessing not on original option), a cool fly fisherman on a side window, front seat (missing small jump seat), far back seat, great chrome, grill, front and back bumpers look great, and two gas tanks!
I will be helping him out with the middle seat but if anyone knows of a front jump seat for sale please let us know.
On to the pictures.

perro13 · 01-19-2012, 12:47 AM

Might know of a seat. I'll look into it

burbluv · 01-19-2012, 12:50 AM

Thanks Randy!

**MusicMan70** · 01-19-2012, 01:18 AM

Nice score and I dig the Motor Minder Vacuum gauge as well! Congratulations.
Does it have the V-6 still?

burbluv · 01-19-2012, 01:22 AM

Yeah he is hoping to get the original V6 running shortly.

Well didn't that just work out fine!
66 GMC hubcaps on the front.
Will he be putting steels with caps or going to a different wheel?
These I believe are close for the 63 Suburban.

suburban509 · 01-19-2012, 01:53 PM

Maybe this is dumb question but I've never seen a gauge panel like this one has with the 3 big round gauges. Is it a GMC thing or because it is a Custom Suburban? Are they rare?

**aerotruk63** · 01-19-2012, 02:08 PM

Never a dumb question on this site, the answers on the other hand! lol

Suburban or pickups, it was a deluxe option though I have no other literature on how to order it.

burbluv · 01-19-2012, 03:18 PM

He is going to get some whitewalls on there and try and get two more matching GMC caps.

burbluv · 01-19-2012, 03:19 PM

BTW did GMC ever have a location on their vehicles to show colors? We found the VIN and the tag showing gross weight but could find nothing more?

**Corts60** · 01-19-2012, 05:16 PM

So far, I've haven't seen any plates with the original color codes on the GMC's. Just the Serial #'s. I've owned two, one owner GMC's.

Also, I noticed the clear lens' on the hood which do not look like they have been replaced ever and are a '62 only thing. Maybe it was not sold during that year and they sold it as a '63 the next year?

padresag · 01-19-2012, 05:22 PM

see the tag right over the top of the master cyl. that is where the colour codes are on my 64 GMC
