How much HP and Torque did the 1966 283 produce in the C-20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just bought my Grandfather's 1966 C-20 long bed (CST?) with the camper from my great Uncle for $100.00 and a 1 gallon jug of wine my 91 year old uncle is either crazy or really wants to keep the truck in the family. Any ways it's a #'s matching truck all original with 132,000 original miles on the 283 2 barrel carb, 3 on the tree. How can I find out what the factory HP & torque on this motor from the factory was?

Its fairly complex: Enter "1966 Chevy 283 Specs" in Google and viola!

BTW, I'm fairly certain the "CST" didn't apply in '66. Others will chime in. Gonna have to change your name!!

Yeah I was afraid of the that when I put it up there but my older cousin told me he remembered the truck and said it was a camper special. Oh well I had 72 short bed CST thats got to count for some thing. Thanks for the link.
