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

Cut springs in front for now, its not drivable yet. Rear is a bolt in airbag not fully air'd out, waiting on notch and 3" block in rear, then 2.5" dropped spindle with bags in the front and a modified front crossmember. It will lay frame w drag blocks.

Looking for some Cragar SS and some wide whites and then hit the road once the transmission is good to go.

 

1 owner, 95k original miles, inline 6 (250) and three on the tree ( almost sold it after having only 2 months and backed out the other day.. just couldnt do it!)

when i first bought her



figured id stick with the muddy brown primer she had on her from previous body work

 

Nice.......

 

Wow two new ones in a day! Gonna be a good day. Good call on air in the rear... Wish I would have gone that route. Word to the wise e.c.e. Disc brake kit wont fit just any 15" steel rim. They claim there is a "disc brake steelie" and a "drum brake steelie". The drum brake steel wheel doesnt fit and requires a 1/2 inch spacer and longer studs. Wish they would have mentioned that before i powder coated mounted and balanced my wheels! I asked if I was buying a disc brake kit wouldn't it be safe to assume that I am removing drums, therefore it probably has the "drum wheels" not asking for much but a footnote would have been nice. Just don't slap it all together and assume. If I hadn't had some sixteens layin around I would have been s.o.l. until the parts stores opened on Monday even then you have to special order the spacer if your running six lug (like me) ... Sorry for the rant but something to look out for!

 

That 52 you had was awesome.

 

THANKS! and I miss it too ........ I like my 57 but the 52 I liked more.

Later, Bill

 

That brown primer paint looks good,much better than black primer

 

More updates on 64cheb's motor....Pretty much all together, and all one color. In the earlier pics, the valvecovers were a darker GM Blue, but after some scraping, we found out the lower end and pan were Chevy Blue. Ended up going with the Chevy Blue.

He had also bought a newer Q-jet 4bbl stock intake, and we decided to keep the stock script valvecovers for an older look. So 64cheb's machinist bored a nice hole in an empty spot on the intake, the fill tube looks perfect and stock.

 

anyone ever see one done up gasser style??? i have a burban i was kickin around the idea of puttin a straight axel in it..

 

Putting mine back together...

 

Glad you kept her...looks good in brown!!!

Hey Rednose, whazzzz up?

 

Nice trucks everyone!

I am looking at getting my great grandpas 65 stepside from my cousin and I have always preferred fleetsides more. So my question is, are the beds interchangeable from step to fleet?

Thanks in advance.

 

Yes,,,now go do an intro

 

Hey whats up everyone Well its been quite a while since ive posted, but since ive been out of work ive had some time. This last week i pulled the 46 year old front springs out of the truck and replaced them with some new moog springs. I also found the correct lug nuts to put on my new wheels. I need some tires still but the rims look good.

 

I didn't realise that the 8 lug bolt pattern was the same as the newer trucks. Looks good.

 

View attachment 1226071 I gotta ask a C10 question...and I don't wanna mess with the thread... but you guys know all the answers.

It's raining here in sunny Southern California and I got a water leak that is coming in from some were under the driver's side dash. It's when the truck is sitting so it's not splash or from the door seals. I'm getting new carpet and having all the seats done so I don't want any water or rust issues. If you guys have any ideas please PM them to me so I don't blow up the thread. Thanks, Terry

PS here's a pic of the truck (posted before) so I don't look like a total ass for high jacking the tread.

 

It matched up perfectly I only paid 75 bucks for the rims and worn tires. I had to get some emery cloth and clean up the hub surface so the rim would go on with ease but other than that they were a perfect match

 

couple more pics

 

Windshield gasket. Mine leaks like a screen door, and the water builds up on top of the dash where I can see it--complete with bubbles from air pushing through between the sheetmetal and the gasket, and it also drips down behind the dash and drips on my shin/ankle while I'm driving.

Put some pipes on the '65...

 

yep that is what mine did as well. new gasket done deal.

 

I agree, mine does the same. Change ur windshield gasket.

 

Looks great Hoser.

 

My 66 Burb lay'n frame

 

^ nice^


Later, Bill

 

I agree. I bet it has a Porterbuilt dropmember also. Very nice. If I ever do another 60-66 it will be a burb.

 

I would want to build a panel with a Kewl logo on the side.
