Default Another Queensland GMC

I thought Jmclendon may like the knowledge that there's another GMC out there in his country! Ran across the pic on Facebook and the poster said it was taken 12-11-16 at a church in Upper Coomera, Queensland, Australia. Hopefully it still has the V-6 in it.

That is awesome!

I might have to do some investigating LOL Coomera isn't too far from where I'm at actually.

Based on the hood and the windscreen, do we reckon 60/61?

If the truck is all original, I believe it is a '63.

(Look close at all the details).

I reckon the windshield is where I went wrong. My failed memory banks were telling me that the wraparound ended in 62, rather than 63.

I've only just started learning about this type of stuff. So, it's all pretty new to me still..... I can't help but wonder what's under the hood.

Cab is 1960-1963
Hood is 1962-1966
Grill is 1960-1965
Turnsignals are amber, 1963ish to 1966

So most likely a late 1963 model year (1963 build)

My mistake, I thought the hood and cab changed the same year.

Not to be creepy stalkerish or anything, but do you know the owner of the vehicle? I'd be keen on seeing if they have a source for parts.
