60-66 The Forgotten Generation ?

I am 100% happy with out purchase of a 60-66 C10 truck.

Just been looking at LMC online, to see the price of a full set of side trim or molding as its known.

Then looked at other bits and again realized that even on a sign for "Chevy Trucks" the 60-66 truck did not feature.

I have also been looking for models of these trucks and they are not as common as the pre and post 60-66 models.

Am I mistaken, or are these the Cinderella trucks from GM?

I've never heard that term either Vernski but wasn't Cinderella the outcast step-sister that was actually the prettiest one of all

It does seem to me that you see less of the 60-66 than the earlier or later trucks.

Well, all I can say is that when Chevrolet chose the most iconic vehicles to appear on their 100th anniversary banner, they only featured ONE truck. Yep, a 1966 model. Not too shabby for the "forgotten era".

Re: 60-66 The Forgotten Generation ?

Rian,

There are quite a few models. I have two different 60's, a 64' LWB and a 65' stepside. I think they are all AMT.

Here is a shot they are kinda of in the middle of the shot and the other 60' which is a custom is on the 2nd to bottom.


Here is the 65' I built for my father in law before he passed.


I have a couple of 60' Hot wheels too.

Bret

Re: 60-66 The Forgotten Generation ?

Thanks for the replies guys.

Maybe its me thats still new to them and being in the UK does not help.

I do have a couple of Hotwheels Stepside trucks from a recent "surfer" edition.

And Vernski, I guess calling our truck a Cinderella is a bit deceptive as it is no girl......

It don't matter I figured it out, it gave us something to converse over. I think there is a thread on this forum about a list of parts vendors somewhere I just haven't found it yet will post it when I find it again.
