I had a 64. 3/4 ton with a 283 and 4 speed granny gear. Ran it until she had 327,000 miles. Went through 2 engine blocks and rebuilt each one once. Repainted it at least 4 times over the 40 years of driving it (Wisconsin is hard on these oldies) she always was kept in top running order and looked good always. Quit driving her because my father wanted her and he never drove it. My sister had it sold to a scrap yard because it didn’t start after dad died and she wanted the extra money. I do miss that truck, not so much my sister.
I had a 63 1/2 ton bought used. Had the granny gear 4 speed. Replaced the 283 with a 350 out of a Corvette in it. Also had an under dash AC. Repainted it, made it look like new including the chrome strip down the side. It had the "temperature gauge" where it had a green light for cold and a red light for hot. Sure wish I still had it. Chevy used to make some good looking trucks.
I took my first Driver's license test back in 1970 in a '62 Chevy Pickup with the Granny Gear. I was 15 at the time. I remember the inspector from DMV that gave me my driving test almost failed me for always starting out in 2nd gear. I had to explain that it was too low of a gear to use on the road and was only used when you needed the Torque for it. I ended up having to show him that it was practically useless for regular road use. My Dad also had installed a Throttle cable on the dash so he could pull it out a bit, hop out and walk next to the truck while it was moving. I showed him that too. (My Dad had a "Tiller" he'd hook up to the back of the truck sometimes and while plowing he could jump out and move rocks and other debris in the way without stopping.) Those were the Good 'ol Days...lol.
The Wonderful America!!! When I was a child I watched american movie just to admire american cars and american way of life! Greetings from Italy, God bless America!!!
I used to have a 1967 international pick up short box. If I remember correctly it had a 3 speed. I do remember it had a v8 engine that would routinely get 21 miles per gallon. I should never have sold it. It simply worked all the time.
I regret not buying a 1966 long bed International back in the 90s. $600 . Had a crack in windshield afraid if it ever started to get bigger or branch off it would be difficult to replace . Had a huge long bed . 4x8 sheet of plywood would fit flat . 3 speed and a V8 engine . Think maybe 332 C.I . Could tell it was made for work . Found a 1962 four wheel drive a while back in a barn . Wish I could of bought it . Don't see many of the trucks or Scouts anymore . Shame .
What I like about this video is that it does not bad mouth other trucks. All trucks have their good points and bad points. This video just points out Chevy's good points.
MrTruck1012 Lost me when he started talking about the sick 230 ci engine. Also as they walked to the rear of the pickup and there was no bumper, I guess banging up the rear of the pickup and quarter panels were okay.
@@brucethomas3100 It was normal for pickup trucks to not have a rear bumper, it was an optional add-on item. This continued until some time in the '90's I guess. Because my '91 GMC truck did not come with a bumper either, I had to buy it extra. But, you know, it could be worse; I found an old pickup truck ad from 1914 in an antique store, and back then all you got was the chassis and engine. You had to buy the body and bed from an independent body manufacturer.
Those old SM420 trannies are bulletproof. They wear out eventually, but if you drive them right, even if you abuse them, they'll last as long as the rest of the truck. My '66, 250 L6, has the same 4 speed, it's never been touched but to change the oil.
"I'm sold, I'll take it!" My first was a '62 GMC Custom, then a ''63, then a '65. All excellent trucks. Newer Siverado next. I have a new GMC Sierra today. Best trucks on the road.
Yes, they switched to an alternator in 62/63 (can't remember when exactly) but still has the "Generator" labeled gauge/light on the instrument cluster. Generator was a more familiar term at that time.
my father had one of those beauties on the farm years ago I bought a 62 chev last year but it looks like I might have it sold wish I could keep it rip dad x0x
Subaru is not a truck, my 2011 F150 ,was crap. My 2012 Subaru Outback has 188,000 nothing major has failed. Brakes oil changes ,it is bullit proof,but then that f150 did have a big bed. This is NOT a TV commercial. It is for he sales rep training...
Ah the days when major dealers were in downtown areas and just had a few new vehicles out in the front. And the Kroger donuts in the slide were 19c versus today's 4 bucks.
Our family's 1st pickup was one of these - 63 fleetside red with a white roof, 3 on the tree, bought used in 1970 for c$300. As for that engine assessment @3:35-3:45, I couldn't agree more. . .that 230 inline 6 still ranks as one of the sweetest & smoothest running engines ever.
My next door boyhood friend, Dad bought a GMC 1963. Boy talk about a truck. It had a floor shifter with Low First gear. We got to show it off at home Games. Bringing the school mascot RAM around track, and stopping the Truck and moving RAM to cheer Leaders. It shore brought back memories.
When trucks were truck it took one 12 volt wire to run the motor and it had real good metal in it back then I still have my old 63 1/2 Ford Galaxie runs fine
Greg R I had a 1969 C10. Pearl white. 350 with 4:11 gears. I loved that thing!!! I’d rather have it back than the 2011 I have now. The 69 had a soul to it that new stuff just done have.
I couldn't agree more. A brand new 250 I6? Sold. The suspension on these trucks is like riding in an old Caddy. :) Best truck I ever owned was a 69 Short bed, Stepside, with the spare tire up on the side of the bed, 250 I6, manual, open-diff 2wd. I took that truck places I had no business in. :)
I had a 63 Chev short bed Fleetside, 6 cyl, 3 speed. Top speed 70-75, gas mileage in the lower teens, comfort level of a stage ciach with square wheels. I'll pass, give me a new(er) truck anyday!
Yes, JohnnyRebKy, I love these old trucks. Too bad they now make ugly, aggressive-looking trucks for impatient, power-hungry people with huge egos who like to bully and tail-gate. I'm from Ky.
@@NormanMeloche in not sure what year it is i'm thinking its a 63 its sitting in a field with 10 other trucks the guy I'm buying it off of used to restore old trucks he said he wants 500 dollars for it he said it runs I was looking at the inspection sticker on the windshield it said it was last inspected in 1992
I had 2.. a 64 and 65. Both inline 6. 64 was 250, 65 was the ridiculously powerful 292. Traded the 64 for a van. Sold the 65 to a friend who wrapped it around a tree three weeks later. 65 was cherry. Dumbest thing I ever did was sell that one, and I kinda knew it when I did. Still, I did OK. I bought a new GMT400 in 89, and still have it. It's a show truck now, and it's not going anywhere until I'm six feet under.
My ‘60 1/2 ton 4spd w/granny had tortion bars in front/coils rear but she was a work horse. My ‘66 was a 3/4 ton with a 283 cid. That got tired so I swapped it out for a 350/4 barrel carbed. It pulled our 30 ft “bunkhouse” trailer around great.
Been a long time since I heard a beep to signal to go on to the next slide. The process never did work as the operator invariably missed a beep and therefor the whole slide presentation.
love this! I just recently acquired my grandpa's '63 Chevy c10 stepside. it's been sitting in the driveway for 2 or 3 years, so it just needs some minor work, like new battery, tires, new master cylinder, etc. and it needs a major face-lift. but I kind of like the rust bucket look lol
I have 5, an 86 d30, a 95 GMC 1500 4.3 manual transmission, a 96 k1500 extended cab short bed, an 02 2500hd duramax and a 94 3500 dulie 350 gas. they really sell themselves.
The salesman did not show 'em the gas tank mounted behind the seat. It's nice to hear the gas sloshing around. We had a '72 Chevy truck with that feature. I think 1972 was the last year before they changed over to the saddle tanks which was not much of a safety improvement.
My dad bought only Ford trucks and cars until 1973, when he bought one of the first Chevrolet one ton dualies. In the 80s he went to the Dodge diesels. His last truck? A Ford Platinum.
I enjoy these old vehicle videos. I often hear them refer to us as a "Prospect". What do they call us now? I know you get can trucks with all sorts of optional equipment. For me there is something enjoyable about a basic Chevy work truck. i current have a basic model 2015 Silverado white six cylinder regular cab, 8 foot bed. Before this one I had a 2003 Silverado standard shift six cylinder. regular cab. I just like a basic single cab truck.
A modern video like this would show a video of every interaction rather than a picture like you see here. A video would subconsciously have you act a certain way.

Milford Civic back then pickups were built and designed for construction companies and farms. Now they’re designed to be station wagons to go get groceries and to impress your neighbor and their kids.
haha. . yep! I remember driving trucks like that, and it was a pain in rear, it was actually work to just drive the things. And oh man, no power whatsoever. You just let out the clutch, floor it and leave it floored until you shift to the next gear. Continue until reaching top speed of about 70 if you were on level ground. Hills were slower. But, they were geared low enough to haul a 1/2 ton load no problem, just slowly.
I miss them kinda body styles.....now days they all look the same.....back then you know what a Chevy..Ford and dodge..look like..now they got the same body styles......it's a shame
My dad had a 67 chevy truck, he got it new, no am radio, and a couple of times i seen rags for a gas cap. 2nd gear take offs, until my brother-in-law moved the the shifter to the floor.
What kind of test drive is that? The salesman is the one mostly driving the truck... "it handles well the curves, it is very easy to drive, you just have to take my word" and "No Mr. S. you can't drive the truck, not until you are thinking of buying it" Imagine that today... lol...
ya back when was no seat belts and ya could bounce around in the back seat until mom said shut up slammed on the brakes knocked us into the front seats and we was smiling and quiet then
The rear sport bumper that matches the front bumper was a factory optional bumper. Chevrolet offered a few step style bumpers that would be an accessory installed by the dealers.
Im only 45 sec into watching this and the guy says, "they are built for one thing...WORK" Wow have times changed. Yes new trucks can work, but they are just heavy duty cars now a days
Work is right when these trucks were made for even though the 80's, now days they are like a luxury car which everyone (almost) drives one wheather be guys or girls, young or old people. Trucks sure have come a long way since this time.
Thank you for the DuKane reference, something I was unaware of. It took a few hours to copy this slideshow, after learning the curve, the other presentations were quicker to copy.
Be swell if they made vehicles like they did... plastic, thin tin and cheap everywhere is now days. Our grandparents are rolling in the graves at our cheap attics and corner cutting Corporate ways...

@@timblaes7028 . naa, wait for a 350, worth the wait
Back when GM was the gold standard.
My 64 Chevy rides better than my 2012 Chevy, sure wished they still used all around coil springs today.
Im only 45 sec into watching this and the guy says, "they are built for one thing...WORK" Wow have times changed. Yes new trucks can work, but they are just heavy duty cars now a days
Shit, I had a 1993 toyota hilux (tacoma) without air conditioning or power steering absolutely terrible to drive and own.
THE GAS FILLS IN THESE CHEVYS' WERE IN A HORRIBLE SPOT! RIGHT AT THE DRIVERS' SIDE WINDOWS. YOU WERE FORCED TO BREATHE GAS, NONSTOP!😤😤😤😧😧😧💀👻
The gas odor wasn't because the filler was next to the window, it was because the gas tank was behind the seat.
Work is right when these trucks were made for even though the 80's, now days they are like a luxury car which everyone (almost) drives one wheather be guys or girls, young or old people. Trucks sure have come a long way since this time.
I still have my dads 64 chevy pickup, just put a 283 V8 in her, I may let her go if the price is right.
HEAVY DUTY LOTS OF ROOM. I mean the INTERNATIONAL HARVESTERS WERE THE best!!
what's the damn little ding noise every few seconds about?...it trashes the whale ad.
Thank you for the DuKane reference, something I was unaware of. It took a few hours to copy this slideshow, after learning the curve, the other presentations were quicker to copy.
They are not now built for “work “. They have turned into over priced luxury cars with a box in the back.
The same thing goes for Ford and Dodge.
is this real?
Just tap your heels three times. Lol
From a 1962 T-O-P presentation.
Yup sat in em new on dealer lot unc had new car promo invites each model year and early Sept from 59 to 71 he went and bought for fleet
FORD BUILT TOUGH
Be swell if they made vehicles like they did... plastic, thin tin and cheap everywhere is now days. Our grandparents are rolling in the graves at our cheap attics and corner cutting Corporate ways...
Telling is not selling brah 😐
I hate to burst yall bubble I don't want to ever ride in nothing like this ever again have yall been in these new Chevy man toys you couldn't give me one of those I rather ride a ride a western flyer tricycle with the red wagon at least the air work
These were the starting point to today's baby cradles. Real trucks for working. Basic tools and you could fix them yourself.
These ran on leaded gas
That's pretty much all there was at that time except what they then called White Gas which was used in things like heaters and blow torches.

I'll send them to that email as soon as I get the photos.
Tossed the box .
Its a Samsung.
GM = General Mess.
Today's trucks are just too feminine for me, creepy.....very creepy.
G.M.C. were better though
In my opinion the 1960 to 1966 Chevy C series trucks were ugly. Body contour and grill just not appealing to me.
