Did you know?

In 1964:

The Chevrolet engineers gave a slope to the front pillars on cabs for easier entrance and exit, changing from the "dog-leg" style, which dated back to the mid-fifties.

In order to provide more driving comfort, reduced maintenance and longer vehicle life, the Chevrolet engineers added the following features: self-adjusting brakes, reduced transmission hump, longer front suspension lube intervals and longer-life exhaust systems.

The standard engine in the C10 was the 140-horse-power 230 inline six cylinder; the extra-cost 170-horse-power 292 six cylinder and 175-horse-power 283 V-8 engines were optional.

The three-speed manual transmission was standard, a four-speed manual and a two-speed Powerglide automatic were options.

Chevrolet's top-of-the-line pickup was the model C1534 C10 1/2 ton Fleetside, in 6-1/2' or 8' fleetside cargo boxes with two cab finish levels: Standard or Custom cab.

All of the this information is extracted from the "Encyclopedia of Chevrolet Trucks, by Don Bunn.
