Nice truck man....What size wheels you running ??

1964C10 · 06-28-2009, 11:07 AM

Very nice truck!! I would love to see some more close up pictures especially of the bed railing and the wing upfront, and of course any details you want to share ;-)

**aerotruk63** · 06-28-2009, 06:40 PM

Ok I'm gonna boast for a minute here so put up with me. Dealer installed accessories correct for Aerotrucks. The hood ornament ( Jet ) is for the 62 and earlier Chevrolet Canadian models but I liked it so I put it on.

Yet to be installed but I have them: Power Assist Steering, Truck Safetylight ( Spotlights, I need a template to locate ), Cool Pack Air Conditioning, Anti-Sway Bar ( off 66 camper special )

Under the hood Inline 6. 4 barrel Holley, Clifford Performance Intake and Headers, can't remember the spec's on the cam it's been over 20 years. 1.94 Intake 1.88 exhaust valves installed. 11-1 compression. Head work, 350 GM Nascar Balancer machined. Pertronix unit. Electric fan. Powerglide.

Very beautiful truck!

Strodder · 06-28-2009, 07:51 PM

Your hood ornament looks like it's really rare. Again, really nice truck.

**aerotruk63** · 06-28-2009, 07:54 PM

I love the look of no hood on your truck.

shortbed70 · 06-28-2009, 08:24 PM

Heres my new pile of parts.

**aerotruk63** · 06-28-2009, 08:29 PM

I hope this doesn't come across ignorant but were all those accessories available as options back in the day? I mean they are all so tasteful and fit the styling so well.

babbyblue66 · 06-29-2009, 12:12 AM

aerotruk63 i really dont think anyone can say this enough you have got a really nine truck did you do the the resto your self?

**aerotruk63** · 06-29-2009, 05:43 AM

Had the body work and paint done, please remember in the 80's this was the way we wanted our trucks to look. We assembled this truck in 24 hrs. straight ( 7 of us got together ) total frame off reassembled. We put it in Montreal's International Car Show 1990 and took home some prizes. It has sat since then. Last licence plate was 1987 this year is the first plate since then.
Most of the forementioned accessories are correct for 1963. Most are N.O.S. This was done 20 years ago when these truck were unpopular so the prices for these parts were cheaper. I have the 1963 Custom Features Accessory Book, The 63 Accessories Installation Manual, Parts Book Light Duty and Heavy Duty. 63 Salesman's Truck Data Book,Some 63 Chevy Communication Training Kits ( slides with records and pamphlets. 63 Advertisements, 63 Shop Manual, 63 Chevrolet Silver Book ( this contains where you could order crew cabs from, dump bodies, utility boxes, etc. 63 Specifications Book, 63 Frame Blueprint Book, and other stuff,as you can tell I like my 63.

jchav62 · 06-29-2009, 09:35 AM

Awesome truck aero!!!! Nice detail...

1964C10 · 06-29-2009, 11:28 AM

I can't get over that hood bird, I have always been a HUGE sucker for those things. As long as I can remember I always wanted a car with a nice hood bird but I always had to settle for something reliable :-P so Please tell me that was an option in 64 as well?? I know I sound crazy saying this but I want one!

Many thanks for all the info Aero!

The hood jet crashed after 1962 in Canada, The 63 Custom Accessories Book ( American Version ) doesn't list it . I liked it, so I installed it. Remember anyone could walk into a Dealership at anytime and buy and have installed anything they wanted. There's no Golden Rule to this. Look at the descriptions of the Accessories listing, they say All Chevrolet. Our trucks are created versions of what once came off the assembly line. Like me, make it yours. These jets come up on Ebay every once in awhile. They also go on late 50's trucks.

This is why I love this forum, great advice and invaluable information, thanks! On the jet, where did you know where to put it? I have the assembly manual for my 64 and there are measurements for everything, did your book list it for yours? Also, where did you get the bed railing? That really adds a nice bit of shine to the bed.

jbgroby · 06-29-2009, 08:27 PM

Just so us GMC guys won't fel left out here is the 60-61 GMC bird. This also was sold for the 60-61 Chevy hood, but it was only listed in the GMC accessory catalog. Notice the slightly different "Wing Intake" vents. and the Exhaust.

I forgot to ad that she is in the Chrome shop getting re-done. I'll post pictures when done. Also I have a spare with a small piece of the rear fin missing, contact me off bb if anyone would need it.
