66 4x4

[bish]

Found a 66 C10 4x4 fleetside with a 283. Trying to find out how many 4x4 trucks were produced in 66? Assuming it is factory. Thanks for any info.

Not enough for you to let that one slip through your fingers lol go get that bad boy then give us some pics.

[ya it is a classic]

ya im with the krazy texan! if your looking to find a rare pickup then i doubt thats it. if your looking for a sweet pickup then you found it! and ya, some pictures would be cool

[bish]

It's bought, I'll try to add pics tomm. I have messed with a few 67-72's but none of these. Its rough around the edges but it's going to be a feed hauler/ general farm truck. I have not seen many 4x4 short beds in this body style, that's why I asked. Stay tuned!

[krazy_texan]

oh you didnt say it was a shortbed good score.

Here she is. Rough around the edges but I'm satisfied. The tailgate is pretty rough. The cab roofline has been rigged a little with foam (pictured), but Im going to use it as a worker so its ok. Interior is just an ole truck interior, nothing to take pics of. This is my first truck from the 60-66 models. Ron, what's the difference between a CK and K truck?

Nice find, it looks to be factory with the full time non-unlockable hubs.

there is no CK..... there is a C=2 whl dr, K=4 whl dr
now if there is a C in your registration and it is a 4 x4, someone has altered it
ron
if you are doubtful about this show us the first 1/2 of your vin#

Man do I feel like an idiot. That's one of those things I have just always assumed, that a "ck" existed. Glad I have a clear understanding now. thanks.

Cool truck. I'd love to have one of these trucks in a 4x4 model.

Looks like the abused twin of my truck, which looks like she was a step child. Either way nice truck!!

[bish]

Thanks everyone. I look forward to learning more about these trucks

Sweet truck! The body looks pretty straight, especially for a 4x4. From what I've seen it seems that people really beat on these old 4x4s as true work trucks.
I always wanted a short fleet 60-66, but I finally found a long bed and cut it down.

Hey bish.................Here's the production numbers in 1966 on 4x4's. I'm not sure but I didn't think there were any shortbed 4 wheelers made. Feel free to chime in if I'm wrong (trust me I've been wrong a lot). The book I have says there a total of 678 K1434 Fleetside pickups made. Great find and have fun with your truck addiction. .............Hemmit

When I turn the hubs to engage the 4x4, they turn and turn without stopping. How is engaging 4x4 supposed to work on these?

They should stop at a certain point.

Nice find, she looks good.

they could be hooped and there are parts missing. they should only go so far to be engaged. You will have to take them apart to check it out

I've got a 3/4 ton. On mine there are 2 sets of arrows on the face of the hub. 1 set pointed in, the other pointed out. Line the selector knob up with the in arrows to lock it in 4WD, line it up with the out arrows to take it out of for wheel drive. My knobs spin 360 degrees with no stops just like yours.

Have fun!! Congrats on adding another 4x4 to the page!

[bish]

Thanks, Ill keep messin with em. Anybody have suggestions on a source for an economical carb? I want to stay as original as possible

[1963c-10]

You will want to remove all the foam. It will attract rust and hold moisture on both sides making the problem worse. Nice find though.

[61_FL_Apache]

Great find!

[chevy_man5]

Nice!! It's good to see another 4x4!! Welcome!

[Ledslinger]

Are your hubs Dana Hub Lok? I have those on my 1961 they will keep turning in both directions. There are arrows on the hub body that align with the knob, arrows in = engaged, arrows out = free.
