did you know that the backup lights on the 60-66 fleetside trucks are the same design as the 1954 buick passenger cars?..........also read a magazine article once about a guy who went to work at the chevy truck design studio in 1962 and they were getting ready to start on the new design truck for 1967.anyway he did some redesigning sketches on the 1966 truck body(gave the 64-66 body a new fresh facelift)showed them to his boss and his boss said they are great,but if i show them to upper management we will never get a completely new design truck.he made him throw them in the garbage.i would have loved to saw those sketches.
