The 62's were dealer installed back in 66 and they didn't quite do it right:pullinghairout: with 4 clearance lights rather than 5, The 68 we ordered the truck to be equipped with the lights from the factory:upyes:

Looks great, with four or five!:welldone:

Thanks Ed. Will stick with the paper element! As to the frame. Not shortened, maybe the previous pic was a bit skewed. Here's another angle....

Still looks like a short bed to me. Do you have a 6-1/2 foot bed with 115" wheelbase, or an 8 foot bed with 127" wheelbase?

If you didn't shorten it, then a previous owner did. Three quarter ton pickups only came with a 127" wheelbase. Cool truck for sure! Glad you found our forum!

Re: Intro 1965 GMC K1502

Oh, Former firetrucks are great values! very well maintained, usually very low miles, and good drivetrains, meaning good power and durability. Will normally be a couple holes in the body to patch from lights and sirens, but normally no rust.

I actually like the Orange paint, readymix concrete company I worked for between my Jr. and Senior year in College and after I graduated had everything painted the same shade of orange, even the D100 Dodge shop truck.

With the miles and condition of that truck you should enjoy it for another 20-30 years!
