I have a question for any car builders/hot rodders, who are interested in '60-'66 Chevy/GMC pickups.
Why do people insist on putting the Custom Cab emblems on trucks that are/were NOT Custom Cabs?
I realize that they "dress up" the trucks.
But I just have never understood it.
I grew up around the '60-'66 Chevys.
(My fave was always the '62. It was the first year for the non-bubbled hood & single headlights. And it was the last year for the torsion-bar front suspension.)
My dad drove them from '60 until the mid-'80s, for daily drivers, farm vehicles & hunting trucks.
We always had anywhere from 2-6 drivable trucks on the farm. And several more stashed around for parts.
Except for the internal engine parts, there isn't much I don't know about that era of trucks.
So, I know, that those trucks didn't come from the factory w/Custom Cab emblems unless they had the large back window.
But, I constantly see "rebuilt" or hot rodded standard cab trucks...on the street & at car shows...with the emblems.
