Or, craigslist photos. Thanks for posting this GMC derail:metal:. Perfect addition to this thread! Pictures are worth 1000 words.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Was that for GMC? 64-66 had nub type rims for this style cap which he is looking for

first pic is the type of original 1/2 ton painted clip style cap he has (most vendors list this as a 55-59 cap so I guess it may not be the one you need)

second is the 1/2 ton nub cap he is looking for

third is a clip back side (3/4 ton?)

Thank you for posting!!! Look's like it just rolled out of the factory!!! :metal:

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Its a nice truck with an obvios to me repaint... but..I don't believe the milage claim at all..
they'd need to be loaded with undeniable paperwork for me to shell out that kind of money...

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Confirmed. If the GMC was built in the Midwest of the United States ( such as Ponitiac, Michigan ) yes, the rear wheel tubs were black, not just '62, '60-'66 also. Oakland and Fremont GMC's were not done this way.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

I'd have to agree on the repaint. I cant find that color as a stock option for 62 GMC's. Great looking truck though.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Did they use pop rivets for the serial number plates back then? They can be seen in one of the pics. I know the 67-72's use the rosette rivets.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

both my 61 and 62 gmc's have the same pop rivets.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

That's good to know. I'm more familiar with the later models. That sure is a beautiful truck.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Anyone have a 62 GMC paint chart?

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

The color is not on the paint chip but the truck has chalk markings on the firewall. Maybe the color was a special order? Here is a link to a paint chip on ebay. (not mine) http://www.ebay.com/itm/1960-1961-19...16176f&vxp=mtr

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

I have found 3 bump rims dated as far back as 62. I'm not sure when the nub wheels came out, but my guess would be 61-62ish.......

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Is that an original color and if so what is it called?

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

It looks like enamel paint... they painted with lacquer back then.. I think the whole thing is made up and the price is something only a nutcase would pay.. I dont buy it

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

GM did have a gold paint code 927, but doesn't show as a 62 GMC factory option unless special order maybe? The documentation he has shows "gold" on the papers....but I'm no expert.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Lacquer was used on cars of the era, ALL 60-66 Chevy and GMCs are factory painted in enamel .It states this in all the Chevy and GMC Data books and literature.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

On Chevrolet 1/2 ton ,Nub wheels started in 1961 . For GMC the 1960 clip hubcap carried into 1961 so it seems GMC nub wheels started in 1962. The clip wheel though was still used as a 16 and 17.5 wheel in half ton. If 66-PMD-GMC is referring to 8 lug Nub wheels , those started around 1971 with the disc brakes on trucks.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

I've not seen the truck up close, so it's hard to say. If the whole thing is "made up", it's more like an art forgery than a used car sale. It's also highly illegal to misrepresent in a sale like that, so I kinda think it's legit.
These finds DO exist. These past few months have turned up some remarkable
survivors as far as trucks go. A kind of flood after a drought, it seems.
One man's "nutcase" is another's passion for quality, and there are plenty of passionate collectors with ample funds. For those guys, it's far easier to find money than it is to find an 1800 mile specimen truck.

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

Heres a couple other low mile trucks recently found.
32 original miles 1967 GMC http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...light=1967+gmc

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

This '62 is the real deal, very difficult to pull off a restoration equal to the caliber of this '62. About the paint, there were a small percentage of trucks painted with a non standard special order color from the factory, unlike Chevy's, GMC's don't come with color codes stamped on data plates. Hard to put a dollar value on something like a super super low mile vehicle, I can tell you, forum member Astronaut, did a concourse 100 pt. restoration ( back to better than showroom condition) to a mediochre condition '66 F 100 pickup, the cost was over 100K (labor and materials).

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

It sure looks like the real deal to me!

Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
 

I emailed the owner yesterday and he sent me some pictures to help identify the color. He is also unsure of the color so I sent him this info also.The color number is 9518 Gold, that’s chalk marked under the hood. It’s a GM color widely used in all GM models in 62 with lots of different names for the same paint from Autumn Gold to Fawn Mist , probably some slight variations in color Id guess between models. Look at this chart http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcod...=Autumn%20Gold On the left you will see letters GBY , click on those letters and you'll find pictures for reference . Here are some detail shots of the truck. Still has assembly line markings on the tires also. Lots of really unique details in these pictures also.
