60 GMC Long Step
 

Picked this up. Actually pretty solid. 305V6 3/4T w/coil spring rear. Plans are to get it starting and stopping and go from there. Original 17.5 rims are in the bed. Looks like it probably had a camper on it. Will need a GMC tailgate at some point.

Nice truck. Gotta love that 60 hood.
If you want to do bed wood on the cheap, https://www.mar-k.com has some info. Nice to have a bed floor...

Such a nice find and the 17.5's are a plus! Congrats. Are those original shocks?

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Looks like overloader shocks. Probably extra support for the camper.

Nice looking truck Dwane! Congrats...I may know of a GMC tailgate..I just need to decide if I am going to use it. :D

Thanks,
Before my dad passed away we made several sets out of cherry.

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Ha- yeah wonder where you got that one. Let me know. No Rush.

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Nice! That rear bumper is beefy

The Dana 44 is nice to have too!

Got tires today. 235/75/17.5 Wheels are at blasters. Hope to have brakes back together tomorrow. Has been interesting locating correct brake parts.

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Very cool! It’s weird that is has coil springs. I always thought only the Chevy c10 had them and the gmc had the rear leafs. It gets confusing between all the different models lol. Great project!

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Thought so too:

From http://6066gmcguy.com/index.php

GMC 1500 will be long bed only, but may not have a pickup box, will have 8 lugs on the wheels,
1960-1962 will have torsion bar front suspension, and coil rear. 1963-1966 will be coil front
suspension with leaf in the rear. Can be 4 wheel drive model also.

Getting the brakes put back together. The V6 runs for first time since '89.

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Great Job and progress getting it going and those tires sure do carry a large load rating.

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

What brand of tires are those? I can't read the label, Thanks

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Westlake CR960A 235/75R17.5

"Righteous" is running/driving and stopping. Put the 87 to work to bring her home.

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Wlcome Home and a kissing cousin to boot too!

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Looks good Dwane! Do you like GMC more than Chevy or just happen to be finding more GMC's lately?

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

I like the uniqueness of them for sure, but has been just the way it has worked out.

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Dropped seat off to get redone.

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Man this makes me miss my 60 GMC. Excited to see that seat come back!

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

17.5 inch wheels.

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Beautiful wheels!

You know I can’t say enough good things about those V6’s. They were heavily over-designed to be long running work horses. The even designed a tray that catches oil so the camshaft dips the lobes on every revolution. Brilliant. Not much power and can’t rev high; terrible gas mileage. But, you know, amazing.

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Got seat back.

Re: 60 GMC Long Step
 

Wow, that looks great!
