The only robot I remember from 1965 was this one. I saw it everyday when I got home from school.... watched it while eating Chips Ahoy cookies and drinking milk ;).

Not sure what Dr. Smith is doing though in this picture though.... seems a bit unnerving to me.

those trucks were probably built in a west coast factory since the firewall is body color and not the interior fawn color like most east coast trucks were.

lol that blue one looks soooo smooth and straight! Its hard to imagine them in new condition. Like oem4me's green truck. If you have some time i would love to see more factory photos. Where did you find them? I would love to get some.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 
You'll notice it's the same truck in both pics, just a little different vantage point.

Also - I thought it was interesting that the cab and box appear to be set separately. In all my years, we always set the cab and box at the same time.

Full Size Trucks were built in both Flint and in Pontiac for the '65 model year. Are you saying they did not get a body colored firewall? I did not know that, if that is the case.

Many of the promotional photos I've seen were taken in Pontiac, because of it's close proximity to Chevy Central Office (in Warren Michigan).

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 
i have been seen trucks that were built in altanta plant that have interior color on the firewalls ? i know fremont and janesville had body color i think also st louis anybody check to see at flint or baltimore or ? mike

collins10672 03-28-2011 10:32 PM

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 
in my experience with the 64-66 trucks i have owned 8 of them i have had trucks from various plants. seems the east coast trucks solid and tutone colors the 64 and 65's had fawn firewalls,and the 66's with tutone paint had fawn firewalls,but the 66 solid color trucks had the firewall painted body color and i also know most all west coast trucks had body colored firewalls.i have owned trucks built in atlanta georgia,norwood ohio,and flint michigan.

Re: factory 65 chevy assembly picture
 
good info it is hard to tell what they did ?i would like to find out ? also i have found in my dealing with these truck that the factory workers at st louis seemed to write info on the firewall , but fremont trucks do not, from my dealings with them. janesville trucks some have and have not . do not know much from east coasts. do not see too many in colorado. thanks mike

I am looking on my droid, but I don't see a side emblem on the one at the beach, so I can't tell if it's a 64, 65, or 66.

It doesn't have any emblems?? Must be a mid-year COPO truck :lol:

The 1st picture below came from a Chevrolet sales brochure for camping. Looks like the same truck, and it looks like a 66. At least it appears there is something on the fender below the body line.

So it came with an aluminum 427, cool!
