The only robot I remember from 1965 was this one. I saw it everyday when I got home from school.... watched it while eating Chips Ahoy cookies and drinking milk

.

Not sure what Dr. Smith is doing though in this picture though.... seems a bit unnerving to me.

I always knew Dr. Smith was a freak

I never realized the trucks came from the factory without a rear bumper. But I guess that explains why there are so many diffrent types of rear bumpers.

Could be - but it looks a little small (and it's hard to see any printing on it....).

those trucks were probably built in a west coast factory since the firewall is body color and not the interior fawn color like most east coast trucks were.

Woogeroo · 03-26-2011, 05:23 AM

Post away!

history of our trucks is cool.

Full Size Trucks were built in both Flint and in Pontiac for the '65 model year. Are you saying they did not get a body colored firewall? I did not know that, if that is the case.

Many of the promotional photos I've seen were taken in Pontiac, because of it's close proximity to Chevy Central Office (in Warren Michigan).
