Rare GMC (model 1000) Trucks???
 

I keep being told my 63 GMC stepside longbed with a small rear window is rare? Does anyone know of the 1960 to 1966 models which ones are the rarest, in regards to the standard 1000 pickup? (Jolly) Is it kept recorded how many models were reproduced at the GMC factory? Just throwing the question out there for curiosity...

Longbed stepsides with small windows were used often by forestry and other government services. This was to prevent the workmen from overloading them, as often happened with fleetsides. They were not rare in government work.

Production numbers were lost in a fire quite some time ago, but a general rule of thumb would be to use Chevrolet numbers for that year and divide by 4.

Thank you Jeannie, that is good to know.

Jeannie beat me to it but yeah theyre not all that rare of a build for the time, but I think (disclaimer: i dont know anything) theyre mostly broken and trashed since they were used in work places. Everyone wants a short box for modding into a mexican lowrider anymore.
They look better than most any other body type to me though. Longbed gives you good solid looking steps and a smoother ride, and being a stepper you get the neat detail factor. Its a win win! :goodluck:

I would think a short wideside bed would be more rare than the long fenderside, you don't see that many of them around. Same goes for the 1 ton 9 foot fenderside.

Thats for sure. I havent ever even seen a 9 footer except online. The short wideside I've seen quite a bit though, but I could be thinking of the princess trucks (chivvys).
:lolflag:

Hey, I ain't no princess! I've got '61 Apache 10, longbed, stepside, small back window. My favorite configuration, indeed a win-win.

I would have rather had the longstepper, but impatience got the best of me so LWB Fleetside it is. :)
