Default Re: 1964 GMC K1001 Wide side SWB

Greetings, this is my 1st post on the site. Thanks for letting me join.

I picked up a project last year and I have been trolling around trying to figure out what I want to do with it. After figuring out that there weren't very many built; I am intrigued with the production numbers and wondering just how many are still on the road. With that said I am planning on restoring it back to original, if I can find all the parts.

Here are a few pics of the UNICORN I have, and I would love to know if you have a SWB wide side K1001.
Welcome to the forum! I'm sure I speak for many members here when I say I hope you keep the V6 engine in your truck, and not replace it with a Chevy V8. The topic of production numbers comes up from time to time. Unfortunately, nobody that I'm aware of has been able to find any such records. Chevy truck numbers are available, however. As a rule of thumb, Chevy outsold GMC in the '60s by about 4 or 5 to one. My wild guess would be that there are fewer than 500 K1001s left from 1964.

Keep the photos coming as you make progress with your restoration and reassembly! You've come to the right place for help in answering any questions you might have.
