1960 & 1961 looks likes nearly same, but the difference is in the middle of the grille: 1960 = 3 horizontal lines and unde the word CHEVROLET 1961 = only CHEVROLET in the middle This is a 1961 |

This is a 2-ton truck? It looks a little small for that. |

In the scene with the yellow truck, the early shots show a Dodge, then it turns into a Chev! |

That's right, when we see the yellow truck at the crossing when the men stop the train, it is a different one to the Chevrolet truck: /vehicle.php?id=189672 Another continuity error; the truck gets covered with ashes from an explosion, but in the scene after the helicopter battle it's completely spotless! Or perhaps Bond decided to clean it. -- Last edit: 2008-09-02 20:28:54 |

Ddey65 is right, that is not a 2 ton. Most likely a 1 ton series 30. Dual stacks. Wow! -- Last edit: 2009-03-20 07:10:53 |

1961 Chevrolet 1 ton Series 30, I'm guessing it probably has a 348 W-Series big block V8 with a 4 barrel carb as well as a 4 speed manual transmission. |

I think either in '62 or '63, Chevy stopped using quad headlights on it's trucks and to single headlights while GMC stayed with quad headlights on it's trucks until '73 when it too starting using single headlights like Chevy. |

what does the writing on the side mean 'Rukotvorine Pikva' -- Last edit: 2013-01-19 20:11:42 |

Rukotvorine means "to work" in Serbian and Croatian. |
◊ 2012-10-08 22:18 |
OK, not exactly. Here comes the full explanation of this cryptic writing. I have some of ex-yugoslavian roots and can say this with certainty. "Rukotvorine" is Croatian for "handcrafts" or "artisan work", i.e. all sorts of artisan made products such as small furniture, artisan shoes, hats, rugs, souvenirs, etc. There used to be a prosperous company of this name located in Zagreb, which used to buy out and market such handcraft products. "Pikva", on the other hand is most likely a misspell of Pivka, a small town in nowadays' Slovenia, not far from Italian border. Cheers! Tom |

If I'm not mistaken, Chevrolet no longer used the ½-ton to 2-ton names as official ones since 1947. For this 1st generation of C/K-Series trucks line, the make started to use C/K-10 to C-80 names. The 127" / 322 mm wb ¾-ton C-20 had apparently not the "dual rear wheel" option. So, - if this one is for sure a "1-ton" truck (insofar as any one can confirm from what can be seen that this truck is a 133" / 3.38 m wheelbase C30, and not the 133" or 157" / 3.98 m wb 1½-ton C40, as all shared the same cab...); - as the 1960-61 light-duty trucks were called "Apache"; - since Chevrolet stake trucks had a XX09 internal code; - given that C-30 (1-ton payload, so formerly 3800 / 38 trucks in Advance-Design and Task-Force trucks lines) were internally named... 36XX: ⇒ 1961 Chevrolet Apache C-30 Stake [3609] But if there is any doubt about the C-30 or C-40 possibility: ⇒ 1961 Chevrolet Apache C-Series light-duty Stake _____ Trucksplanet.com proposes this truck as a C-30. But just as a picture (taken almost ¼ second after the one of this page ), without details. -- Last edit: 2014-09-30 10:34:44 |

I should have read more carefully for both assertions. For the 1st generation C/K-Series trucks line, it was CXX09 and C36XX... So even if I still doubt about the C-30 or C-40 possibility, as C-30 seems to be kept: ⇒ 1961 Chevrolet Apache C-30 Stake [C3609] |
