Bullheaded Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Well, since I've adopted all of you as my source of old truck knowledge, can anyone tell me what year and model this GMC is? My friend wants to know. It was a local-to-him township truck back in the day. Thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 1964 or newer. The 1963 and back had a more curved, or wrapping windshield in the lower corners. 1 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Bullheaded Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 That was quick! Thanks Rob! I was guessing 67/68 but |I wasn't sure. I don't know much about the old GMC's, other than the Brig's and the 5 Star General's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 It could be titled a 1967 but most likely 1966 as the latest year for that cab design. 1967 - 1972 used the newer style cab. 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

41chevy Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 '66 4000 series, seeing the dual exhaust either the 305 V6 or the 351 V6. Got a clean potato hauler on on the farm on L.I. bout 38000 miles I'd sell Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadwayR Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Definitely a '66, has the square 'G M C' letters in the grille. '65 and earlier are curved. Dual exhaust and 10 stud Budds usually indicate 6000 or 6500 series, which would have had a 401 or 478 V-6. But, this particular truck is Canadian! Series designation on the cowl instead of the door, no 'V-6' emblems. It's probably an Oshawa built 960 series with a new-for-'66 366 Big Block Chevy engine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Would be excellent if the GMC still looks as good as it did on the day the body was mounted! Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I had a 1964 3/4 ton GMC w/305E V6 engine and it would pull just like a 350 Chevy engine in a new truck, (1976). 7.50X15 tires on three piece "widowmaker" rims. It was my first pickup truck and that thing and my Hobart engine drive welder went a lot of places together fixing bulldozers, scrapers, backhoes, truck frames, dump boxes, and just about anything else needing welded for several years. Damned thing had a "Detroit Locker" differential in the back, and springs so stiff it hardly sagged with a ton in the bed. I still have the original shifter knob as a momento too.
