Heck yes! Great Idea!

Hey Aero, do you have all your stuff accessible in one place, or is it spread around throughout different threads.

Most of my stuff is on Picasa. I would copy all my pictures to a Original Only Thread if one was created. It's nice to see stuff as it came from the dealer. The pictures on this particular thread are amazing. Makes you wonder who else has some stuff hidden away. There should be a reference of where it came from Ex. 1963 Chevrolet Silver Book. ( along with the scratches from my cat on the cover, little *******!)

Cool stuff!!!!

TudorJeff · 03-29-2011, 04:41 PM

Hmm I've always thought that these trucks came from the factory with rusty rockers and cab corners. Guess not

Cool pictures by the way!

Way cool pictures thanks for sharing, if you have any more...post em please!!!

az65 · 03-29-2011, 05:29 PM

awesome pics!

**yelmer** · 03-29-2011, 06:30 PM

the reason you do not see emblems on these trucks is because they were air brushed out so they could use a 64 truck for a 65 or 66 ad . i have some ads that show a truck from 64 and the same truck same picture used in 66 they would air brush the emblem in . i guess they saved on picture cost? mike

**aerotruk63** · 03-29-2011, 07:53 PM

Can the tires be any skinnier?

rbar · 03-29-2011, 08:10 PM

Skinnier ones got used up on the Schwinns. I was surprised when my 2003 GMC 3/4 ton came with 6.5" wide rims.

Sweet, ive never seen a stepside with sidetrim. What are those rims, like 4 in wide?

Touchdown67 · 03-29-2011, 11:58 PM

Saw this image a couple of years ago. Titled 1963 chevrolet.

Gotta love the fact that these trucks weren't in enclosed boxcars like they are now. Wonder if my 65 Sub is on this train somewhere?

erock805 · 03-30-2011, 08:34 AM

amazing pics...love em all. I dig the long aprons in the assembly line...just screams safety issue to me??? anywho...thanks for sharing!

rbar · 03-30-2011, 02:12 PM

The custom cab stepside seems unfinished with the trim stopping at the cab.

It’s hard to imagine, there was actually a time you could just walk in to any Chevy dealer and buy a brand new 60-66 truck in any color and body style you wanted, with a 327 stick shift if desired. Rust free, dent free, mint condition rockers, windshield header, and cab corners, with any deluxe trim you might desire – for about the same money it now takes to buy a rusted and dented restoration candidate!

Zoran 187 · 06-20-2011, 08:35 PM

Very cool pic, the train one is great

oem4me · 06-20-2011, 09:59 PM

Hey, that's my truck! Wohoo! Last one, on the bottom! Just kidding... but it could be. Is that Mt. Hood, on the way to WA? Or maybe Mt. St. Helens? 1966? Not enough detail to tell if it's 64, 5, or 6. Anyone see any clues? GREAT PIC!

**yelmer** · 06-20-2011, 10:48 PM

Big truck

If you look at the stepside in front of the suburban on the top rear, it has no backup lights on the rear fenders which became std equipment in 1966. So I think these are either 64's or 65's.

Can anyone narrow it further?
