Gasser 60-66? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MatcoTools63 · 10-15-2012, 11:03 PM

Has anyone done a gasser c10 i really like the look i was wondering what all it requires to put a solid axle in the truck and the correct way to mount the axle? if anyone has i would love to see some pics! Thanks!

A lot of us have interest in this build style, but so far I've never seen a 60-66 done yet.

**jocko** · 10-15-2012, 11:37 PM

here's an interesting thread on the idea of a 60-66 gasser: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=315913 Hardwaa's cool little green truck is gasser-ish, just doesn't have a nosebleed like most tend to associate with a gasser. But I too have never seen a 60-66 straight axle truck... Thread discusses them (gassers in general) a good bit, but no 60-66's were posted. I realize this doesn't help, but it's somethin!

jonzcustomshop · 10-16-2012, 02:05 AM

someday I have a 66 that I hope to build like a gasser, or F/X truck.

only pic I have of a straight axle 60-66 is this model:

If I ever do that 66 F/X it would look like this dodge....

a 47-54 front axle setup might be a good candidate for the swap.

I was kinda hoping someone one here would build a Gasser.
I wouldn't mind building a 60-63 Stepside Gasser myself.

These are the closest I’ve seen, including 2 earlier year Chevys. The only 60-66 is a photoshop effort: My truck was headed this direction until medical retirement cancelled the budget:

looks like the ford guys are beating us to the trend!,

someone pm dino, maybe this should be his next build

Gassers ROCK! I have a '49 International Harvester KB-2 that I am very seriously considering applying the gasser treatment to...

Rich 5150 69 · 10-18-2012, 07:35 AM

I believe we would have seen more gassers trucks had GM not changed to torque bar and coils in sixty, same with ford when they changed to twin I beam in 65, It was just easier to grab something already done just change the springs.

jonzcustomshop · 10-18-2012, 08:09 AM

this one kind of has the "look"

Rich 5150 69 · 10-18-2012, 08:19 AM

I saw the same truck, thats what I thought too until I saw the a-arm.

chevy_mike · 12-04-2012, 01:39 AM

Yep, Ford and Dodge didn't move to IFS until later in the 60's. It made it much easier to build a gasser when it's already a straight axle/leaf springs.

It would be great to see someone actually build one.

**jocko** · 12-04-2012, 02:24 AM

here ya go. talk about 70's... Kind of a gasser wanna-be, but it's closer than anything i have in my garage. At least it's a chev!

**TBONE1964** · 12-04-2012, 03:07 AM

That looks like Tommy Chong in the drivers seat drinking a Budweiser.

I love those old G Vans.

This one I found on CL has a little bit of a gasser look.
