most original 60-66 truck in existence?

[oem4me]

Another collector who likes low mile trucks sent me this awhile back. 5300 miles.
I think it sold for $21000 at auction. An incredible find, just too bad it had every conceivable accessory drilled into it. OOF!

A 25k mile all original paint base model '64 GMC. Was offered for sale about 10 years ago in Hemmings for 15K. Note factory optional "Retrac" mirrors, center of hood scoop painted black, rear fender tubs and wood also painted black. Interior was also immaculate with excellent original seat upholstry.

BEAUTIFUL truck! Everybody I know with these trucks has them bagged and everything, which I like, but I like to be different too, so here lately I've been thinking about raising mine up a lil or just putting some bigger tires on it. Still aint decided but I think this truck helped me out quite a bit.

It's a good example of how unknowingly, somebody can wipe away rarity, history, and real value by "improving" it with a paint job. I actually don't know what is was like before, but my guess is it should have been left alone.

oem4me, nice idea for a thread. But, since you're a new member let me point out that "truck bashing" here is frowned upon. It's just not what this site's all about. If you see something that's not "your taste" just move on. It's very possible that a member here owns one of those trucks. I would guess if it were you, some of those comments wouldn't be appreciated.

Oops. Sorry. I really had no intention of "bashing" anybody's truck. My comments are based on mere observations from a preservation standpoint.
My bad. I'll be more careful from here on out.

Does not sound like bashing to me. The topic of this thread was "most original 60-66 trucks in existance". oem4me was just pointing out what was not original. The term "original" has been watered down so much that people lose sight of what is correct and not correct. I will say it is very hard to find a 100% period correct vehicle today, many have deviations from the factory for "personal taste" reasons. Even the 12K light blue tu tone 66 longbed had the original western mirrors removed (notice the 2 holes on top of the vent post in door) and a chrome passenger car mirror was installed. This thread is the chance to get it right for reference reasons, historical reasons and for new members to learn how the factory put them together. The turquiose '66 C 10, and the black 65 C 10 are excellent examples on this thread on the way these trucks were built. The rally wheels (post 1973) deviation is very typical in this era.
