New to the board. Have a 1964 C20. Pics here.
Hello all. I am new to the board. Thanks to Woogeroo on HAMB for the heads up. My name is Grant and I have a 1964 C20.
128k miles 283 V8 4-speed Eaton rear with NoSPIN locker and 4.56 gears Orginal paint now faded after 48 years in AZ Long bed with original wood No mods other than different wheels, taking 2" out of the front suspension and re-covering the bench seat. We are using it now to go back and forth to the horse barn and feed store mostly. It gets daily usage. I would like to do some more to the interior, get some more power from the 283 and swap the granny gear 4-speed for a manual tranny with OD. I joined the forum here to get some ideas and ask some questions. After reading around a bit it seems like the right place. We all love pics so... ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by endlessearth; 05-28-2013 at 01:27 PM. |

Here is the interior. I would love to know if anyone knows a resource for the boot for the drivetrain parking brake. I have checked around but no luck so far.

Beautiful truck, and welcome to the full floating axle club!
![]() Also, you might consider just a 4.10 third member and tall drive tires. (I think those are 245/75 tires you have now?) My truck has a 283, 33.5" tires, and a 4.10. It runs about 2,150RPM @ 50MPH. With shorter 235/85R16 radials it should still be around 2,250RPM at the same. You should be able to come up with a 4.10 third member for $100-200, and you don't even need to jack the truck up to change it. |

Re: New to the board. Have a 1964 C20. Pics here.
That's a pretty short tire. I looked it up and got 695 revs per mile, 235/85 is 650-660. I figure right now you are turning close to 3,200 @ 60, so 2,700 should be a big improvement. With the tall tires and 4.10's you would be running 70MPH where you are now running 60.
BTW, my truck is a stripped down model, too, old Coca-Cola truck. No rearview mirror, cigarette lighter, or passenger side visor. I have a big 5" racing tach hanging off the column. Looks kinda funny. ![]() |

Funny! I have the passenger side visor but no rearview mirror. I do have a hole in the dash where a cigarette lighter should go. I am going to look into 4.10s and larger tires. I appreciate that advice. |

Where did you find the boot? It looks like I could use one for my t-case shifter.
