Are all 1960 Chevy customs identified with a trim package that has the piece on the top rear of the cab? I have heard that this was only in 62 and after. Is this true or are there 1960 customs that didn't come with the trim packages? ALso, I found a wrench bolted to the firewall. It looks like a double box end wrench is this a wrench for something or more than likely something that was just put there by somebody? I really appriciate your help. Cman.
I think if a truck is a custom it will always have the chrome piece on the cab. That is after all the identifying mark for the custom package. It is the only place on a custom cab where the word custom appears. What I would like to know is what exactly came with the custom trim? I have a 61 custom and as far as I can tell a custom has the following: The custom cab aluminum emblems, a different steering wheel/horn ring, a chrome band around the windshield, and a chrome grill. Not just the grill but the surround is chrome too. My truck has a painted front bumper though. Maybe a chrome front bumper was not included in the custom package. Mat,
I have a 61 and 62custom cab I bought for parts .some questions If the grill is aluminum its from a c/c.If it is a c/c then it is a Automatic trans.I've been lucky collecting some custom cab accessories Aluiminum grill /windsheild trim. stainless steel cab emblems.I have the radio/fm underdash unit but do not have the deluxe heater .have the custom sterring wheel/horn ring but have a three speed trans. the deluxe rear view mirror/for the big window Deluxe seat /deluxe springs 3/4 of the side s/s trim but need the bed ends and the bottomtrim RH and LH.......... WHAT I"M TRYING TO SAY IS WHAT MAKES IT A CUSTOM CAB. Whos right and whos wrong????????
In 1960 the custom cab included a chrome radiator grille,hubcabs,window frames,black accented "Custom" scalp moldings on the rear upper quarter of the cab. The chrome from bumper was a separate option as well as the full view rear window. Inside had chrome knobs as well as a cigar lighter, and chrome Chevrolet name plates.
Hey do you have the complete custom horn ring? I've only seen them with the "bars" broken off on each side. I've never seen an un-broken one.
I was up late with out sleep / checking the net. When I wrote that #%@##....Yes I do. E-mail me augiedepacas@aol.com And I'll send a picture If you would like......Now Thats Something Else!!!!What color was the Sterring wheel in 60-61 customs. I've only seen (White) not till 64 was the custom sterring wheel another color (gray) .....but its hard to say I was one year old at the time.I have an extra horn ring... if some one needs one.............
when you discribed your 61 (custom cab) you said Aluminum custom side emblems......60-63 custom cab emblems(with the bowtie at the bottom )were made of stainless steel......as was the side trim for the 60-61 custom..........64-66 custom cab emblems ( bowtie in the middle)were Aluminum. as was the side trim 62-66 Aluminum.The 60 custom was the only one the the side trim emblems (flags)had a trim piece that conected the two emblems around the back.What we call a paint divider strip....
