Could be - but it looks a little small (and it's hard to see any printing on it....).

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Really like the pictures , thank's for sharing. We need an Original Photo's thread. Get all the literature nuts together and bank all the photo's, from all the years, we can find.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Cool stuff!!!!

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Heck yes! Great Idea!

Hey Aero, do you have all your stuff accessible in one place, or is it spread around throughout different threads.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Hmm I've always thought that these trucks came from the factory with rusty rockers and cab corners. Guess not :)

Cool pictures by the way!

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Way cool pictures thanks for sharing, if you have any more...post em please!!!

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

awesome pics!

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Most of my stuff is on Picasa. I would copy all my pictures to a Original Only Thread if one was created. It's nice to see stuff as it came from the dealer. The pictures on this particular thread are amazing. Makes you wonder who else has some stuff hidden away. There should be a reference of where it came from Ex. 1963 Chevrolet Silver Book. ( along with the scratches from my cat on the cover, little *******!)

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

the reason you do not see emblems on these trucks is because they were air brushed out so they could use a 64 truck for a 65 or 66 ad . i have some ads that show a truck from 64 and the same truck same picture used in 66 they would air brush the emblem in . i guess they saved on picture cost? mike

Cool... the elusive "Custom Cab" stepside that is often rumoured to have "never been available".

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Can the tires be any skinnier?

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Skinnier ones got used up on the Schwinns. I was surprised when my 2003 GMC 3/4 ton came with 6.5" wide rims.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Sweet, ive never seen a stepside with sidetrim. What are those rims, like 4 in wide?

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Saw this image a couple of years ago. Titled 1963 chevrolet.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

I was thinking the same thing. This is the only one I've seen besides in a movie.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

amazing pics...love em all. I dig the long aprons in the assembly line...just screams safety issue to me??? anywho...thanks for sharing!

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

The custom cab stepside seems unfinished with the trim stopping at the cab.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

And it's a longbed.:hmm:

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Skinny tires made for easier turning when power steering wasnt available (or installed)


Gotta love those longsteppers! Scchweeeett! :metal:

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Great pics.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

more!...more!...more! plz..

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Agian, it is another pre production photo used that was not accurate. The same red custom cab long bed stepside is shown in the 1964 Chevy pickup brochure with the side moldings air brushed off. Many '65 and '66 adveristment photos show white steering wheels, which was a '64 feature, 65's and 66's used fawn steering wheels.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Let's get this "factory photos" thread going! Bump.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

'62 factory assembly photo

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

It’s hard to imagine, there was actually a time you could just walk in to any Chevy dealer and buy a brand new 60-66 truck in any color and body style you wanted, with a 327 stick shift if desired. Rust free, dent free, mint condition rockers, windshield header, and cab corners, with any deluxe trim you might desire – for about the same money it now takes to buy a rusted and dented restoration candidate!

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Very cool pic, the train one is great

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Hey, that's my truck! Wohoo! Last one, on the bottom! Just kidding... but it could be. Is that Mt. Hood, on the way to WA? Or maybe Mt. St. Helens? 1966? Not enough detail to tell if it's 64, 5, or 6. Anyone see any clues? GREAT PIC!

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Big truck

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

..............and that's exactly what I did. I ordered my new '64 C-10 w/ 283, 3-speed manual with overdrive, Custom Cab, and the first chrome dock bumper the dealer sold.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

I was just thinking yesterday that we need nostalgic pics.
Pics, Brochures, anything about these trucks from the past.

Here's my contribution:

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Oh man, that picture is priceless!

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Here's another one from 1966 with the same truck in the background. Different racecar by then.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

Geez - those pictures are great! I see that you had stepped up to a Hemi by then.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

I forgot to mention - I worked with a friend and his first job was "fitting the hoods" on the line in Flint on the 1960 Chevy pickups....

...which he did with a giant rubber mallet...

(lol)

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

There is the photo ad I was refering to, the truck is a '64 ( notice white steering wheel) the emblems were drawn in.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 

My dad built the die used to manufacture the grille in that truck.

It had small rectangular punches to form the grid pattern, and those punches were prone to breaking off (which causes you to run scrap parts).

Some of you might be familiar with the GM Suggestion program, where submitters could be paid for ideas that saved the corporation money: Dad made enough in suggestion money off that grille project that he was able to pay cash for our first pickup, a '69 GMC.
