Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Thanks guys, its pretty much stock except for the stance.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

i like your style mano...

New kid on the block..
 

I always liked the look of most old trucks, but especially the 60-66 chevys. So I bought this 64 back in october off ebay for $3200. Having seen it only online. Won't do that again! but I think I did ok. This is my first old truck. I wanted something I could drive daily to my job and work on as I could come up with $ and time. It has some issues, but nothing too major that I've found yet. Still trying to figure out what size L6 engine I have. Been reading other posts for info. For now I'm enjoying driving something with great lines & history and seeing what the other chevy truck freaks are doing with theirs.

Welcome to the forum!

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Nice truck yellowdog. If the engine is stock, it's most likely a 230. Only way of really knowing though is running the casting numbers. This might help.

Welcome yellowdog.

I kinda like what they did there with the grill.
I'm guessing it's painted silver, but at first glance I thought you had the rare aluminum grill :D

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

What makes the aluminum grill rare?

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

When it's rarely seen.

Re: engine id
 

Thanks guys. And your right LostMy65, the grill is painted silver. I don't know if the engine is original but I suspect it is a 230, but I'd like to know for sure. I still can't find those dang casting #s. I found the stamped #s behind the distributor, but they don't tell me much (FO827A). I've searched the drivers side and I can't find anything on the engine block where its joined to the tranny. Here's some pics if anyone has some info, I could use the help.

Re: casting #s
 

ok. I was looking in the wrong place. I found them on the passenger side, near the feul pump, beneath the distributor, under layers of oil & paint. They are 3850817. That narrows it down to either 230 or 250. If it's original then it's a 230 right?

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Not perfect but here's one...

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Did the aluminum come on just a certain year?

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

My '65 had one when I bought it. My now wife rear ended someone in the early 90's. My local Chevrolet dealership had one on the shelf. When I went and picked it up I opened the box to make sure the grille was inside. :lol: These things are super light. If you need pictures let me know.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

The previous owner mounted amber fog lights on the grill, I couldn't believe it. Put a couple stainless carriage bolts in the holes. Any one have tips on repairing these grills??? Post a shot of your grill if you have it, very fortunate finding a NOS part.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

some pics

Re: casting #s
 

Just a little FYI for you. Your engine has a later model electronic ignition. By the looks of it I would guess mid to late 80's.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Here are a couple pics of my most recent 65 build. It is completely tore down now waiting on my lowering kit. I already shortened the frame and have a couple short fleetside beds to choose from. The pics make it look a lot better than what it really is but I traded a $500 car for it. It has a large journal 327 and powerglide. Best of all it is a custom cab with the big back window. Also already changed the rear to a 71 and the front to a 73 to 87 suspension. This is one of two 65 c10 trucks that I have. The other is a stepside that has been in my family since the early 70's. The chassis on that one is done and ready to finish the body work on the cab.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

And a few of my stepside

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Great work. That frame splice looks beautiful.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
 

Thanks, I have a knack for getting into projects like this. My other current project is a 57 4 door sedan that I converted to a 2 door sedan. Guess I needed another challenge so why not a longbed to a shortbed conversion.
