Thanks for all the great photos LostMy65! Here is a heavy duty GMC. This is the type of truck that would have a 478 V6 under the hood. 440Lb of torque @ 1200-2000 rpm. A sbc need not apply for this type of work! For the historical gurus, notice the blacked out center section of hood, which all original paint '62-'66 GMC's had, and the '64 Colorado licence plates.

A few I've saved over the last few years.

I couldn't get the picture to copy in the quote on post #26, but this truck should be a GMC 6500. It is either a '64 or '65 model (both models were exactly the same on the exterior). The 6500's are pretty rare. I drove a '62 GMC 6500 with a 478 V-6 back in the 70's. They are great trucks.

Maybe this is the truck you drove

Check out that big 22 or 23,000lb Eaton rear axle. Also note the bumper design used on extra heavy duty models. A GMC 6500 is in a completely different weight range than a Chevy C 60, it would be closer to a Chevy C 80. Most Chevy and GMC trucks built with this cab design were in the lighter GVW ranges, extra heavy duty versions of these trucks ( 33,000 GVW) had much lower production numbers.

Here's some pics of our 64 C30 in action. That's my son driving. Bought this truck in Nebraska from another member of this site. Truck has 40,000 plus miles on it. Was used on the farms for hauling grain I think. We use it primarily for hauling wood. Jon

Nice picture, thanks. Pictures of 6500's are rare. I believe my '62 had a GVW of 32,000, having 9 Fronts and 23 Rears. My truck also had the Heavy Front Bumper, but I can't tell if it is the same as in the picture or not. I actually took a couple of shots of the truck back in the 70's. I have them in storage. I'll try to dig them out one day.

It's funny how many pics from these forums pop up when I search images for these generation trucks.

Yours is one of my favorite images.
I love to see heritage pics.

Hollywood is getting educated. Big improvement to the type of vehicles they usually use ( either over restored or period incorrect)Very authentic period looking truck for a period movie ( say mid60's thru early80's), when unaltered trucks were the majority.
