I'm amazed that it's been so hard to nail down any real dependable information on this model.
The other day I contact a commercial truck salvage yard in Batesville Arkansas to see what they had laying around. I told them that I needed parts for a 66 to late 70's GMC 7500. Specifically, body parts. So they send me pics of a 67-72 Chevy C60 truck cab. Now you'd think that a commercial truck salvage yard would know the difference between a GMC and a Chevrolet.
I'm getting my windshield installed this week. I said from the beginning that the availability of a windshield will make my decision as to rather I restore this truck or get another model cab. Since I found a windshield, I decided that this was the cab for me. I wish I would have tried to find the hood parts before ordering the windshield, because it's too late to cancel that deal. So I'm kinda stuck with it now.
Nevertheless, it's looking like a rat rod project is eminent.
