Re: "Patina Trucks" in the group

Here are 2 1960 trucks. Same guy owns both. He uses the one ton but the other sadly just sits. Both are still sporting the v6 engines.

Foley,

BBW stands for Big Back Window. SB is for Short Bed.

Have a great evening,

Re: "Patina Trucks" in the group

Oh I've got some "patina" to share :)

Someone goofed this truck all up before I rescued her.

'66 1000, Wideside, BBW, now with a '77 305 V8 engine (probably from another GM truck? Who knows?) and a 3 speed column shifter.

"Patina Trucks" in the group

The truck my Brother has given me from my late Father's estate. joe got it from Dad about 15 years ago, and is going to help me get it roadworthy again. It will get a cab and box swap. The rust is just so extensive.... But here she is for the moment.

For these pics, they are video grabs from Facebook vids shot after resurrecting her.... she is being driven for about the first time in 20 years maybe. Cant link to em since they arent on Youtube... But its great to see her moving.

He in turn sold it to "Reefrunner Larry" in Minnesota who's on our forum. Then Clyde in SC (also on our forum) bought it from Larry. The truck, which came off the assembly line in Fremont, CA, on 6-6-66, was factory-equipped with 351E, Turbo 400 automatic, Powr-Lok rear end, power steering, power brakes, and custom cab. It had less than 40,000 miles on it when I bought it. During the restoration process I had the frame and driveshaft shortened so I could put a short bed on it.

About the only patina on it prior to restoration was the rear bumper. The only rust we could find on it during restoration was minor surface rust under the rubber floor mat.

Just going back through this thread again. Cool 66 GMC. It's the first one I've seen with a V6 backed by a TH400. I know it was an option but I've never actually seen one. Such a shame that this truck was restored... and worse yet, that it was cut up. Got any pics of the truck cleaned up... before it was "restored"?
