That was a pretty cool video.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Here's a couple of pics of a 61 GMC I had back in the mid 80's. I was in the Air Force stationed in Jacksonville, Arkansas and picked the truck up locally. Drove it daily, even made a trip to Rantoul, Illinois in Jan '87. While in Illinois I had the fun of replacing the front wheel bearings (ball type) in the front driveway of a high school friend, in the snow nonetheless. :metal::metal:
If memory serves me, I think all together, parts and grease cost right at $100.00 back then. I remember reading on this board that the parts are about that amount per side now. :thud:
Like a fool, that I was back then, I sold the truck when I found a '72 Monte Carlo that I just couldn't live without. Then I sold that car when I was being sent overseas...

Also, here's a pic of my dad back in the late 60's with his work truck...

Thanks "LostMy65" for the heads up on this thread... :thumbs:

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Very cool photos, thanks for posting. Big window, chrome grille, even a spotlight! Sure would be a cool truck to have today.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

this is by far one of my favorite threads
granted im a kid compared to most you old dawgs being that im only 21
but this kid knows his car stuff.

i love looking back to history and seeing these trucks when they were the workhorse of the old days even tho they manage to dominate todays workforce.

keep the pics coming guys!!:metal::metal:

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Too bad I was young and dumb when I owned that truck, didn't know what a gem I had... But, that's called living and learning!:uhmk:

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I would guess, one in ten of us sold a vehicle we wish we hadn't.
I did, but 25 years later I found it and bought it back. :D

One in 10? probably more like 9 in 10! (at least if you're over about 25) :whine::whine:

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Great pics guys! While the commercial-type photos are cool, I love seeing the old personal photos. Nothing like real memories you have of an old truck.

Saw this one on Facebook the other day:

The pic of the 63's has been cropped down. aerotruck63 has posted the full size pic before

Attachment 1135419Heres a few more. Whoever ordered trucks at the Tom Henry dealership really liked red.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Great photos, too bad the original photo wasn't taken in color also. Looks heavy duty with those 16" lock ring wheels. A 60's 3/4 ton with original wheels is not a common site today.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

This one amazes me. That must have been a massive wrecker as the car hanging on the back appears to be a Cadillac weighing nearly 5,000 pounds:

64 or 65 GMC 2500. Note hood scoop paint treatment when new. Factory painted the center section between hood scoops black to give the effect of one long hood scoop. This detail is lost on 99 % of repainted '62 thru '66 GMC's. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/...ps947796df.jpg

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Great information. Thank you! I love that look as well.
