1960 Chevrolet Apache C20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PASSMORE · 03-23-2009, 04:25 PM

I fell into this 1960 (or at least it seems as if it is one from the VIN) pickup via my brother-in-law (read, he bought it and it has sat at our place pretty much ever since). So, rather than fuss with selling it for him, I decided to buy it from him.

Here it is in all its glory

Underhood has a 305/350 (not sure which, have to look closer) swap - nothing fancy, but runs fine. Motor is mated to 3 on the tree.

First order of business will be a complete going over to mend anything running wise that needs attention. From there, we'll see...

Thanks for the info Jon. I am a nOOb when it comes to classic (right term?) vehicles. As I said, kinda fell into this one and the bug may have bitten me

.......welcome to the world of simpler vehicles, where you can actually see and get a wrench on the bolt that is about to break off

!!

Get the stuff you need straightened out and drive it around, then improve from there.

Awesome! Nice solid base that doesn't look like it has been molested too much..Welcome!

Good Catch! Nice Clean Solid Truck!

It would look better though with the right hood.

Looks like a pretty straight and solid truck. Don't seem to see many '60-'62 C20's. Let us know when you need help

PASSMORE · 03-24-2009, 01:37 AM

Thanks for the warm welcome - I look forward to picking your brains!

I will get some more pics of the engine bay when I get in there - carb needs a rebuild and a few other odds and ends...
