Re: most original 60-66 truck in existence?

Plainred65, that is an amazing truck!! Welcome to the forum!! I really like the low option trucks as well since the truck that got me into 64-66 C10s was plain with only heavy duty springs and a 292 as extras. Hope to see more of you and your truck, we need more of your type around here!

Amazing job on the 65! Another reason for me to leave mine bare bones, your truck is just plain awesome!

I agree. Very nice example of the way most '64-'66 were sold back in the day. As stated in other threads, a lot can be learned from these time pieces. Example, the original base model seats used on '64 and '65's, fawn with cream color borders. '66 base model seats used a different pattern without the cream borders.

Factorystock, you rule. I must be dense because my level of observation is not near what yours is. The 64-5 cream/fawn detail had escaped me entirely, but I see it clearly now upon review...derrr.
Anyway, glad these details get noticed and brought to light by somebody. Eventually we may compile enough info to actually aid in an accurate restoration effort. Keep it up, eh?
