Looking for a new Truck.

[69C20CUSTOM]

Ok im looking for a truck and I just cant make up my mind. I was thinking of a 67-72 c10. But as far back as I can remember I have been wanting a older C10 but i have to have one thing it must have this hood but I dont know if it was an option or a what made it have this hood so if some one could give me some help that would be great. I just love the looks of this hood.

Thanks

from the factory, yes, but as soon as the 62 hoods were released these were discontinued, and if you needed a replacement for your 60-61 you had to buy the newer hood.

the 60-61 hood will fit all 60-66 chev/gmc, I put one on my 65 , all I needed to do was a little bit of latch adjustment.

Yes same hood for 60-61, except the inserts are different for 1960. And these hoods will bolt on to any 60-66 pickup or suburban if desired.

Here's a 1960 hood from Google Images for comparison:

have to admit I am a big fan of those hoods too, but then again, I like the 62-66's as well. It's a sickness. Having said that - here's an observation (of mine...) I think a forward fit of the old does not look as good as a rearward fit of the new. i.e. like Markeb01 did - I think the new hoods look great on the 60-61's. But for some reason, something about the old hoods on a new truck doesn't seem quite right - which is odd because I really like the bugeye hood. Weird. I have only seen a few of the forward fits. I think basicially, I like the 62-66 hoods any all 60-66's, but on the 60-61, I also like the stock bugeye very much. All personal pref, and I pretty much like them all anyway.

To answer the Question .. So does every 60-61 c10 have this hood ???


When new Yes the 60-61 Chevys had this hood .. But now 50 years later there are still some with the Hoods and others with the 62-66 Hoods on them .. Good Luck in your search !!! Just remember that rust , damage , owner preference , etc . all play into the factor as to do they have it or not ...

About the first picture posted, the hood is the 1961 model and the grill is the 1960 model. I happen to be a big fan of the 1961 hood and grill. One day I will own one. Until then, I have to satisfy my lust by looking at pictures on the internet.

Thanks for all of the wonderful pictures everyone!
