Features The Official 60-66 C-10 Chevy Truck Picture Thread

...

 

I'll take a couple n post tomorrow. They are just the 3/4 ton 16x6 8-lug wheels with the matching caps - not correct for the 60-66 but Wheel Vintiques offers a baby moon and trim ring if ya wanted to go that route....

 

Haven't posted an update in awhile but here is my update.
This is the floor when I started


I had to build most of this by hand because it was almost gone... I only have a vice and some hammers so I'm pretty happy with it.



Here is the new floor and rockers installed. It wouldn't have been so bad but I had to make all the floor supports by hand also because they were pretty much gone also.



Here's the outside of the rocker.



I started on the door last night. I cut the bottom of the door skin off because the rest of the door wasn't too bad. I didn't take any pictures but I'll post some when I get time.

 

cool! i used mine in our wedding pics:

 

came across a couple pics of dad's old '66 back in the day, so i just had to scan them...plenty more pics to scan if i can ever get back home to MS to do it:





and this is how it sits today...it was chopped 3" back in the early 90's in anticipation of becoming a pro-street...unfortunately that's as far as it went...bed got sold somewhere along the way, otherwise we'd have a completely rust-free truck...still have all the rust-free parts from cab-forward....it's patiently waiting for the chance to become a killer custom:

 

Man, there's a '65 five miles from me and it's just been sitting in a driveway for the last 3 or 4 years. I need to go talk to those people.

 

Great pic,good looking oltruck!

 

Here's my project. Rough. Real rough. 64. Planned drop, new tranny, whitewalls, and drive it.

 

My daily driver.

 

I like it.

 

Man... white, with that simple red stripe in the chrome... that's a really classy looking truck.

Amazing how sometimes "Simple" is so much more!

Here is my 1960 C-10. The truck is new to me and I couldn't be happier. It has 69 rear suspension/brakes and 72 front suspension/brakes. There is a 350 small block, turbo 400 tranny and power stearing.



















It runs and rides better than a 62 year old truck should. The truck was owned by a retired Boeing engineer so things are very tidy. Not too many changes planned. Drop the rear end two inches, maybe some new bumpers and re-do the bench seat. Thinking about freshing up the engine compartment a little as well.

Congrats!! Nice rig for sure! 63-66 hood too! One this clean does not deserve import parts if swapping bumpers. Are u swapping cause of damage or wanting to go chrome? My thoughts would be rechrome original pieces. Dirty Donny in CA may have a set. NICE TRUCK!

 

what a great thread! keep em coming!!

 

The bumpers are not damaged, just a bit rusty. The front is rattle canned. Are the cheap ones from classic just that....cheap? Not even sure if the ones on there are OG. How can I tell?

I just installed three lap belts in it today so I can take my little girls for a ride. They like the feel of riding in the front seat. "Dad, why does the truck smell funny?"

Thanks,

Jakemon

 

My lady says, "I love the smell of gasoline!!!".

 

Go with a set of bumpers from Keystone in Brainerd, MN.
I've got one on the front of my '61 Buruban, and they rechromed the destroyed rear and it looks concourse.
I had both versions of repro front bumpers: The cheap import that's thin, and the GOOD one from Keystone that's nearly twice as heavy as the cheap one.

My rear bumper was toast: 7 different bolt holes for trailer hitches, both ends were bent into the quarter panels, there was a 2-inch hole torched in it for a trailer light plug, and it was twisted radially about 20 degrees.

$250, and it looks concours, without a single wave or ripple.

Daily driven with them on it, and parked outside, for 4 years, and they're holding up like OE on a new vehicle.

Thanks for the heads up Brad. Keystone has a store just 20 minutes south of me. I will give them a call on Monday and quiz them.

Jakemon

 

Does Keystone have a web page?? Having trouble finding them. Are they parts supplier, or chrome shop?? Thanks for any extra info.

 

I have always been partial to Fleetsides

 

Hello everyone i wanted to see if any body had any pics of how to attach the rear bumper on a 1964 chevy c10 i just bought a chome bumper with brackets thanks

here is my 61 gonna put it on a dodge 1 ton chassis with a cummins for a future haul truck

 

Here's my '61. This is my third go around with this truck. Previously, I suicided the doors among other things. This time I channeled it over the frame 6", boxed the trailing arms with diamond plate, and moved the spring perches behind the axle. I have also dropped the radiator mount 6" to keep it down below the grill surround and bobbed the frame in the rear. I will be keeping the Olds 455. There is a picture of the truck in it's previous incarnation elsewhere on this thread. ~WX1
