Projects My 60 Chevy Sedan Delivery ! Back on the road !

So wanted something to haul parts to the swap meets, and drag my vintage bicycles around town with... It's not perfect, but runs and drives great ! 350/350 combo(b&m shift kit)... with Camaro front clip & disc brakes...just a fun car ! drive as is Fun ! need to find some trinkets . Yes I still have the 51 Woodie, it's not going anywhere soon ! LOL

 

I'm Impressed, looks great! Gary

 

DUDE! Killer score. More pix please. A '56 Nomad & then this one. It look's like a shine can come back on the paint.

 

Awesome! Looks great!

 

Looks cool! What size and backspace are the wheels?

 

The wheels were on it when I bought it (15x8 rears), going to need tires... its on my list... will post more pics really soon

 

The 56 Nomad was a fun car, miss is at times... is was cool... loved the interior... miss my Don Garlits Tach !

 

Hi Rob,
got that from Mike S.? didnt think he ever sold anything
congrats
now your the longroof king
cheers,
B

 

Nice, 6s on the front?

 

they look more like 15 X 7 fronts... He told what the fronts were and I have forgot...

 

Yep I sure did B , don't know about the king of longroofs... but it sure is a neat car.. ! Thank you

 

Those delivery's are both cool and RARE
We use to see a really nice black(59 or 60) in years past at NW events, IIRC it was from the Longview area.

 

been doing little nit-picking small stuff... I replaced the front signal and rear taillight lens... Put the Bel-Air emblems back on the fenders( really it's a Biscayne). put the CHEVROLET letters back on the hood... installed some original style rearview mirriors.. going to have some floor repair done up front first funds permitting... then on to replacing the windshield

 

I lust very badly over this one. C'mon lotto winner.....

 

View attachment 2930362 so I have a question for the 59-60 Impala guys... in the picture above(missing stainless on pass. door)... I found a good used stainless spear for that door... I can't find any out fits the sell the retaining clips for this molding(Impala Bob's, Ecklers, Classic Ind... etc... The replacemesnt stainless has the good metal clips on it.. I have no idea what other hardware held it on... If anyone has some words of wisdom... please chime in ... any ideas would be super ! View attachment 2930362

 

hows the rear lift gate? they are really prone to rust.

 

Here's 2 videos of a 60 that a good friend of mine, and I redid over 30 years ago. He just sold it a few months ago. I'm sad that he sold it.

 

Project? Looks like it's done to me! I'd take just about any model 60 Chevy. Congrats and cool ride.

 

it's ok, the roof above the hatch is bad..

The hood has seen better days... have a line a nice one... something down the road to do...

 

I would have been sad also ! neat Sedan Delivery !

 

Reminds me of Newbomb Turk's "Pie Wagon"

Love it!

above is a link to a supply house that I use, their catalog has many types of moulding clips . I am sure they will have some that do what you need for that trim piece.

 

I'll check them out, trying to figure out what I really need to attach this back to the door.. Thank you !

 

60 Chevy always been one of my favorites. Great score!

 

thanks , doing little stuff right now... hoping to have some clips to finishing putting trim back on soon

 

Well thanks to the helpful guy at LDI here in Tacoma on Saturday, I was able to reinstall the stainless on the passenger side of the car...It was a pretty easy deal to do... He showed me a metal clip with a threaded stud on it was bendable.. you could shorten the length of the clip by snapping off sections. Bent the clip to the curve of the stainless door spear and worked great.. It's coming around... Next up will be floors after Billetproof & Goodguys... new windshield...

 

no Billetproof(or cruise) for me , have to work in the morning now, and was reminded by my gal of plans later also.... Argh !!!

 

so not much to report, now have a glove box to store stuff in. Found the upper station wagon molding between the taillights... installed some 60 Impala fender fins(cover up the holes) new tires this weekend.. the fronts have had it.. the rears are close... order the floor panel section I needed and plugs... some floor repair soon !
