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

This 66 3/4 ton belongs to my wife. Her daddy bought it in December of 65. he gave it to her 7 years before he died. 292 engine SM420 trans and 456 rear gears.

 

Cool truck and a great memory with it!

 

It still runs. When gas got to $4 she parked it right where its setting. We have talked about adding power steering ,air cond and a set of longer legged rear gears in it. She commonly hauled 6500 pounds of feed in it. one time they miscounted on the load and she had 7500 pounds. I once for my daily drove a 66 camper special that had factory air power steering 327 engine and turbo 400 three speed transmission. a 83 year old woman who was drunk crossed the center line and hit me head on and totaled it out.

 

victory, a new page of truck coverage! The extra cab railroad rig is off the hook, had never seen one of these, thanx for sharing this. The gas filler job o the "Bourbon" is ultra trick. I lust for some parts off all those sittin in the weeds units. Thanx kids for more truck porn. We had our first snow today, c'mon spring.

 

Suburban bump.

 

Here's a shot of a '62 GMC Suburban that I've been working on for my dad. We lowered it via a square body front suspension swap, along with an O/T engine swap. I just took the first drive with the new chassis and engine last night, so I'll hopefully be buttoning it back up soon.

I also updated the interior with a '67-72 automatic column, and some Classic Instruments G-Stock gauges for complete monitoring of the truck.

 

This '65 C10 was my pride and joy! I spent 10 years collecting parts, involving 3 parts trucks and 1 1/2 years of work every day to finish it. I was blessed to enjoy it for about 3 weeks, until a Big Caterpillar front end loader turned in front of me while I was passing him. The guy never looked, signaled or anything, just turned into me and opened the truck up like a can opener!!! The old truck took the hit well considering because I'm still alive, just still emotionally damaged as you can imagine!!

 

Found this for sale.

@ XtechX: That's a shame. I hope you can fix it.

 

an update to my earlier post - the Suburban is all wrapped up now:

 

Looks super, nice job!

 

Man does that sound good Cory, sits perfect, great looking Suburban.
Not a lot of GMC's around anymore.

 

congrats, sounding good and looking sharp!

It would be cool if some of you cats would repost some stuff on your trucks. Time has deleted a big part of this awesome thread. I am really feeling challenged with my 66 c-10 fleet side. I am not the oldest hot rod dude but have a lot of limitations due to health issues. I would have taken better care of my lame ass if I would have known that I would live this long. Need to change boxes, add two new 1/4's to it, put on a new tailgate on, change out a damaged door, replace broken door pins, and a bunch of other small issues. I love this truck as much as about any ride I have had. I am going to wait out this winter process and hopefully get back at it. No quitter here!!

 

Have the chance to buy a 1960 Chevy short box, and have been noticing that aftermarket
always list suspension kits for 63-66, what is different on the 60-62 and will disc brake kits be the same as 62-66?

 

60-62 torsion bar springs
63-66 coil springs
So other suspension

 

home improvement show on HGTV called Home Town shows a 61-63 shortbed fleetside in original blue/white with awesome patina. Encourages me to keep working on my 66 that is a little rough.

 

My gems. Sold the 60. Still have the 62 and the 66.

 

from nothing but a piece of a truck came my C10 - 5 years and lots of work - hats off to the home-builders in the room!

 

back to top please

 

I keep kicking this thread back to the top, hoping more peeps will repost pix posted earlier and now deleted. Bring it on gang, spring is on the way!

 

Bump
My photos are still showing, nothing new here except I'm thinking about selling my (expensive) project.
