Now that is a sharp looking truck, and a V6 as well.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

I'd sure like to see a C20 hot rodded like this:

Who's truck is this? I'd like to see more, I love the rake on it.

Just bought this heap with my brother this afternoon. We were going after a 1955 Apache but the older fella that told us about it was off by 10 years. :waah: Price was very cheap so we figured what the hell. There is a large nice brown rat that does not want to leave. Guess he is a Texas rat now we bought it in OKL and brought him home. :lol:

Nicely restored 3/4 ton hubcaps.Complete set. Key pieces to a factory looking restoration. Not reproduced. Not mine.https://www.ebay.com/itm/28457877154...AAAOSwvGRhw07i

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Anymore 3/4 ton pics?

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

IMO, uncommon sites, a 20 emblem that still has blue and red paint and 16" 2 piece rims. The positive offset of original 8 lug wheels floats the hubcap outwards. 1/2 tons do not have this look unless 17.5" wheels are used.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Sorry not a 60-66 vintage but long and low trucks can still be work trucks. My 2 owner '69 still works every week.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Not mine, but I like it.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Check this one out Sodly! This one got the love. IMO, the original owner had to be an airline pilot. Very meticulous recreation vehicle owner! This Jimmy has all the bells and whistles, from the factory and from the owner https://www.proxibid.com/1966-GMC-Pi...ation/67983999

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

I wonder what that pressure cooker looking item is in the engine compartment?

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

I like em all here’s my 3/4

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Very clean C 20, shows signs of being a previous camper hauler. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

IMO, the add on's don't impress me, the factory add on's do. Turbo 400 auto and Sports Trim options ( bucket seats etc.) This is the top of the food chain for '60-'66 GMC's! Would have loved to see a photo of it before the repaint, wheel change and trinkets.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

You took the words right outta my mouth. Would love to see the "before" pic. The interior is great, tho!

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

It probably looked very similar to this. Appears to have been light blue by the inside of bed shots. This is why we hold "time capsules" in such high regard, fighting the temptation to alter is hard to do. Jon (60-66) found a '66 GMC 1/2 ton in time capsule condition, the challenge is on to find a '66 GMC 3/4 ton top of the line time capsule as in photos!

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Here is one for you Sodly! 3/4 ton's rarely get restored to this calibur, this one is a treat to see. Not to mention, low production numbers in the early 60's.https://oldchevytrucks.com/blog/2022...custom-pickup/ Side note, this photo shows the dramatic styling changes of the 60's. Carryover styling of the late 50's disappeared to the fresher styling of the mid 60's. Its amazing what a restyled hood, windshield and grill did to the styling of this series trucks.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Heres one thats getting cleaned up . All original paint on this clean Arizona truck parked in the 1970s with its original 17.5s

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Wow! Thanks for posting Jon. Incredible time capsule, the needle in the haystack!

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Many similarities between this '62 C 20 and your '61 Apache 20. They both have the V 37 chrome front bumper and hubcap option plus the molding option in addition to the Custom option.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

All those options, but no rear bumper. Interesting!

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Been a while since I update my build on here but here is my c20 longbed 6.0 s475 running 10psi. 76 front 79 14 bolt rear trutrac 373

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

That is an absolute beauty!

Love it!

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Here is my C20. I use it most days and it isn't pampered. What it lacks in highway gearing in the eaton diff, it makes up for with it's terrible mileage.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Nice!

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

A 13 year old thread...showcasing the 3/4 tonners. How cool!
I found an AZ '66 C20 Custom with factory air and a Barden rear bumper. Got it from the grandson of the original owner. Not a spot of rust...anywhere.
I'm in the process of getting it back to close to original, but on somewhat of a budget.

It was repowered with a solid and strong Chevy 350 and TH350 and subtle dual exhaust. I have an oak bed ready to install with the original bed rails refinished. The 'broken back' look is exaggerated in the pic b/c the rear fenders and bed were sitting on the frame rails when it was taken (it was sitting 1" lower since the wood hadn't been installed). Also the original rear cab mounts are saggy so are getting replaced. I'll also be returning to the factory Turquoise with white top.
I agree with those of you who like the original 'pizza cutter' steelies, in fact I like the old industrial looking bias ply look as well. I found a set of 8.75 x 16.5 commercial "Highway" bias ply for cheap when compared to Coker. I'm sure the quality is average at best, as it took a lot of lead to balance them, but I'm not hitting the fast lane on I-95 anytime soon.
I do have a question about the silver boxes that are in the rear fenders of some C20s.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw...-no?authuser=0

Is this unique to the Camper Special? What is the box called and what's its purpose?

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

I wouldn’t mind seeing a whole thread on this truck.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

New addition. 1966 C20 very original/preserved truck.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

I dig it! Nice saddle C20. Custom Camper, too, it appears.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
 

Awesome, what a beautiful condition.
