A pic of my dad's 61 GMC with the factory jet. He bought this truck new. Tag says made in Canada.

**60-66** · 04-02-2018, 05:49 PM

NICE Truck !

KIC · 04-13-2018, 12:28 AM

I love my eyebrow hood

CRGRS 66 · 04-13-2018, 02:48 PM

Hey 67campercruiser!
I have, or at least did have family in Riverton.
Nice truck, I have actually been looking for some of the wheels you have on there. They are late 70's early 80's 4x4 rally's.

dirtdog604 · 04-14-2018, 10:07 AM

Picked this one up a few months ago. I'm selling the hood for $20,000, and I'll throw in the rest of the truck for free!! LOL

If not so far away Id trade ya

I just picked up a '60-'61 GMC hood, which I intended to use as wall art but once I looked it over I realized it would be a shame to cut it up as it is in excellent condition. I am now toying with the idea of putting it on my '63 but am not sure how that would look. I did go through the other thread with the hood/grille combo's to see the '63 Chevy grille and '60 GMC hood and am not totally sold on the look.
I really like these hoods - I am so conflicted.

I just put a 60 hood on my 63: love the look and couldn't pass it up !

BabyBlue64 · 11-19-2018, 10:12 AM

The '60 Apache C30 from a friend of my. Assembled in the Antwerp (Belgium) GM factory.

Dadgum, that looks good. I want to do the same to my 63, just have to find a really clean hood eventually

5661DWL · 11-19-2018, 01:32 PM

I learned to drive in this pickup. I was about 10 at the time. Picking up hay bails. Starting a restoration. The hood is a little uglier than most. It is a factory 283 V8 truck.

Looks good.
Yours is a Chevy hood on your '63 Chevy. I have a '60 GMC hood for my '63.

Greg63 · 11-19-2018, 05:56 PM

This is similar to what I am thinking of doing;

jbgroby · 11-20-2018, 11:33 AM

My '60 with all the options.

Isaiah92260 · 11-20-2018, 02:33 PM

Here is my 1961!
Base model short bed step side, came from the Los Angeles plant.

Does anyone know where we can get original material for the bench seat?

**straight6chevyguy** · 12-19-2018, 10:54 PM

I really like the 60-61 trucks. I don't know why people don't like the hoods.

I don't have one but I wish I did.

Lots of nice pics guys!

BabyBlue64 · 01-03-2019, 11:44 AM

1960 C30, 1962 C50 with 1960 hood and a 1960 C50

**Captainfab** · 01-04-2019, 01:24 AM

Wow! you have quite the nice fleet

And being in the Netherlands makes it even more impressive.

Parked for 20 years. Got it mobile last spring. Waiting on funds....

**Klas** · 03-30-2019, 08:38 PM

Wow, reading this thread is a hoot. A very original '61 Apache short bed fleetside with side trim found me. Didn't want another project as my '64 panel is my dailey driver and it took awhile to make it a dailey driver. But my wife saw it and said "it's so ugly, it's cute". She wants it for her dailey driver. The hood is out to a fabricator to fix the rust but dang,,,,, try to find that V8 hood emblem.

jrusher · 03-30-2019, 09:55 PM

Picked this 61 short fleet for the wife last summer. Just started all the cab metal replacement, almost ready to stack it back up and throw the ls engine in
