1960 Argentina Chevy truck double cabs trucks

[1963c-10]

I'll see if I can find any interior pics

[TJ's Chevy]

Those are neat.

Found a few more pics of trucks in Argentina. These were taken by a man who visited Argentina looking for classic cars/trucks. Not the best pics, but still pretty cool.

Couple more....don't the tail lights look familiar on the Argentinian 67-72 fleetside?

The speedometer looks to be metric in the first picture above, or the could be mph and those trucks were rockets that regularly went over 100mph.

Yeah...I noticed that, but couldn't verify. Looking for better interior pics when I came across these.

Hi guys,

My name is Federico and I'm from Argentina.
A few months ago I joined the forum and started reading all the great stuff that you guys have here, I just found today this post.
I'm the owner of a 1961 Apache Crew cab truck. These trucks were modified mainly by a company called "Igarreta" here in Argentina in the nearly 60's, requested by the government to be used by different sectors (like the national train, post office, army, etc). There are just a few still in the roads and you will see different versions.

I bought the truck also a few months ago and I started, unfortunately very slow, the restoration. Is very difficult here to find good parts, so basically we need to do everything from the scratch.

Take a look:
5 years ago:


Now (after zero maintenance from the previous owner):


I will take a few more and share here.

Best,

Fede

Fede, way cool truck you have there, wish I had one too. That thing would be a real head turner for sure here in the U.S. Thanks for explaining about their origin.

[Greg63]

Looks really nice.
Greg.

This is just the coolest thing about this forum!!!! Trucks from everywhere celebrated!

Fede, thank you for showing us your truck and shedding some light on them!

[1963c-10]

Very cool truck and thanks for sharing the pics. To bad parts aren't more available to you guys as we all understand the time and work involved to fabricate parts. Looking forward to more pics!!!

[fedepascual]

Thanks for all your comments!

If at some time today stop raining here, I promise more pictures

Now THAT'S a big back window!

[1963c-10]

Just digging back up an old thread. Any new additions?

[par4tom]

Those trucks are really, really interesting! Reminds me of that old Johnny Cash song, "One Piece at a Time...and it didn't cost me a dime!"

[jchav62]

Cool stuff!
