The Chevy Truck Idea Page - 1960 to 1966 |
A Place for Lovers of 1960 to 1966 Chevrolet and GMC Light Duty Trucks
Restoration/modification ideas for '60-'66 Chevrolet and GMC pickup trucks
There are lots of cool things that can be done to these old trucks. Some are modifications to make them a little more modern or user friendly. Some are trick customizing details. Some are just ways to make the old stuff last a little longer. This is an atempt to record some of those ideas and provide a place to view them.

MUST-SEE for great ideas
Here is a site you have to see for some great truck ideas. A few of the well-documented ideas include: Camaro hood louvers, '64 Impala taillights on Stepside fenders, rear stake pocket replacement, 4" bed widening, Camaro dash, floor-mounted parking brake lever, cool grill modification, cab vents, and a ton of other items.
John (lakeroadster on chevytalk.com) has done a great job of giving details on each of the changes he's done on his '65 Stepside.

On this page you'll find stuff that, to say the least, is unusual. This like sketches of a Blazer version, an extra long bed pickup, airport limos and a photo shop version of an extented cab pickup. Or how about an Avalance? Do you have anything to add? Pass it along! |

In 1999, I bought this '65 C20 with a 292 cid/4-speed transmission and factory air at a yard sale here in Tucson. A couple of years later I was happily driving in my new truck with 350/700R4 in cool air-conditioned comfort. Now, some 10 years later, a new paint job brings a more retro look and has become a real head-turner. |
