Looks like either the fenders were replaced so the correct holes weren't there for the badges or the previous owner decided to close up the holes and leave the badges off. You can purchase an original set or aftermarket reproductions of the fender badges, add 4 holes, and you'll have the correct badges back on in a jiffy. |
Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?
Could not find any body work on the inside of the fenders, so probably aftermarket. I have ordered the emblems from CJ Pony Parts. Thanks

Yes current owner put the chrome mirror on ,he has the original . He powder coated the rims and new radial tires. Other than that the truck is original paint. Bed wood , as near as we can figure the original owner brush painted the green paint on the wood , possibly sprayed ? Hard to tell. But the bolts all around the perimeter are still plated like they should be on a Pontiac Michigan built GMC. Current owner in California also lives in Wisconsin in the summers and is only 45 minutes from me . VIN TAG is spot welded , he double checked that for me . |

Here's a pic of my '66. Original paint (what's left of it) Texas farm truck.
Minus the lowering springs and steelies, it's pretty much as it left the factory. 230, column shift truck. Runs like a sewing machine, but smokes like a 2 stroke (valve seals? rings?) It's probably getting a heart transplant this year.... |

On another note , owner of this 63 sent a close up of the VIN last night, 100% the way it left the factory with the spot welds . |

I hope they took their time cleaning and polishing, would hate to see unecessary burn marks from a buffer. There is no better original paint reviver than you Sodly!

This should help to answer the above question. This is my old (original paint) '65 GMC. Now belongs to a good friend. If you look at how thin the green paint is on the bedside, you can see that it is definitely painted white beneath. |

For instance, if you were to plug in the original cost of a pack of baseball cards from back in the day, inflation would show a value of just a few dollars in todays money. Tell that to those that are currently paying millions for a single rare card, gum not included. Lol! |
