I realize these aren't trucks, but definitely nostalgic and still GM. Few pics and some info on the GM trains. Yes they had their own trains and they were used on 75 different train lines.

1st 3 are the GM Aerostar and the pics date from 1964 World's Fair. You can still see a lot of the aviation engineering in the design on the Aerostar. The older ad is from the 40's and then a more modern GM train. Unsure of its age.

1963c-10 · 07-17-2014, 01:35 PM

Also a few vintage pics of trucks. 1st pic is supposed to be at the GM testing grounds where they did the chevy vs ford comparison tests. Sorry its grainy. 2nd pic I'm unsure of age, but it just looked right for the thread.

Thank you sir!!! The National Railroad Museum has a Steamliner and an Aerostar on display. Here are a few pics of the GM Steamliner from the early 40's. I personally like the 2nd pic. The 3rd with the children is in Milwaukee.

1963c-10 · 07-17-2014, 04:10 PM

Couple more trucks. The 2nd pic with the camper was taken in 1962. Pics 1, 3 & 4 look like old GM advertising pics.

Dillon Rock · 07-17-2014, 08:40 PM

I saw this on hotrod ' s Facebook page in my news feed. Has a camper and is a bit blurry but it's a Chevrolet no doubt.

1963c-10 · 07-17-2014, 10:00 PM

cool pic. hemi powered, pushed by a ford and towed by a chevy (hopefully).

1963c-10 · 07-30-2014, 01:15 PM

Few more from the early 80's

1963c-10 · 07-30-2014, 01:27 PM

Couple more pics

bj383ss · 07-31-2014, 11:10 AM

Some photos of my Grandpa's 63 and 64. I love the dog dish hubcaps on the 64' He had a 327 with 5/8" cam and 3 on the tree. It didn't have enough torque to pull the boat out of the water so he would pop the clutch and spin the tires until the motor bogged down and then do it again. Always loved when he took it out of the lake for maintence.

The 64' is towing the Carla II a 66' Chris Craft 25'. It had a 283 and sounded so good through the water manifolds when you cranked it early in the morning in the marina.

1963c-10 · 07-31-2014, 11:17 AM

That's a good size boat....cool pics!!! And great to see the smash hit grill guard on the 63!!

Cool pics for sure! While I like them all, I love the ones with a personal story behind them.

The 64' had one too. It made it very recognizable plus it had the wrong year hubcaps on it and the shopmade headache rack made from 2' solid iron.

If I was building that style of truck I would definitely want to find one. But it just won't look right on mine.

1963c-10 · 07-31-2014, 04:13 PM

I have a 60-62 smash hit sitting in a box....waiting for the right project to come along.

piratexpress1369a · 07-31-2014, 08:15 PM

wonder if the crusher is still around

Dillon Rock · 07-31-2014, 09:24 PM

Nice man. Love the old Chev's and the Chris Craft boats. My old man had a '63 25 footer single 283. I still have the sales brochure for it at my parents house.

I dont know...i didnt see any real modern pics of it

1963c-10 · 08-01-2014, 09:13 AM

Not sure if this ones been posted yet. Looks to be 60-62 assembly line by the cast iron mirror arms

Dillon Rock · 08-01-2014, 12:05 PM

I'll take the 5th one back. But with a side order of marker lights and make it a 3/4 ton lol. 4x4 of course.

1963c-10 · 08-01-2014, 01:10 PM

Looks like the guy in the pic is installing the door hardware and window glass. The truck he's on has a vent win installed, but the others don't.

Dillon Rock · 08-01-2014, 10:12 PM

Yeah and that one also has door handles too.

1963c-10 · 08-02-2014, 08:19 AM

Id love to have a cab and set of doors in that condition

Dillon Rock · 08-02-2014, 03:41 PM

Let alone a good roof in that condition.

Found this hanging on a wall in one of the jobs I was on 2 weeks ago
