C60 basics - school me, please? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

They are great trucks.

Originally the C-60 came with anything between a 6-292 and a 409 (mid years) and a 366 Big Block in '66.

Now, unless you want to do 70 MPH all day, I would not change the 6-292. Actually they are one of my favorite engines. But if you like V-8's, a Small Block or Big Block would do fine. Not sure about Automatics though, as I have little experience with them, mainly because every one of my trucks has to have a Clutch.

A real cool swap, one a lot of us on here would like, would be a Detroit Diesel.

Keep us posted on your plans.
