'66 was the first year for the 250, however your incorrect on the color. The '66 250 in pickups was the same color as the '63-'65 230, a blueish-teal, a color that is unfortunately not reproduced.

When I cleaned up the coil I found the original sticker under the bracket to be in good shape. I cleaned and painted around the sticker and lifted the coil out of the bracket an inch so that it was visible

Echlin ic64 is a napa replacement.

Too bad, I thought it was original just because of the 1/8 of an inch of grease on it

Hi. Im new to this and I purchased a 1961 Chevy pickup. I was wondering if anyone knows how to tell if the truck is either a C10 or an Apache? I looked on the actual title and I did a VIN search and it only states 1961 Chevy PU. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

armyman85 · 11-07-2015, 02:54 PM

Hi. Does anyone happen to know if this truck is a C10 or an Apache? The title only says 1961 Chevy PU. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

At the time I had numerous clusters and picked the nicest bezel, it was silver so I ended up going with it because I think it looks better.

I have a question concerning the deluxe wheel center. My holes on the back are stripped and when I turn the wheel, it "clicks". One screw is larger than the other so I would like to carefully re-tap the holes but not sure how to go about it or what size of tap to use. Can someone give me some advice please?

how about using a helicoil

I had to send my repop heater core out and get the tank swapped. The lines coming out were at wrong angle and to short. On the positive side it now has a GM part# on the core.

jbgroby · 12-05-2015, 05:20 PM

Do you have a source for the tubing braces. I need a set.

LT1 Burb · 12-06-2015, 10:51 AM

Had a little bit of a setback, didn't realize that someone back in the day decided to screw the voltage reg to the inner fender. I ended up welding up the holes and putting it back where it belongs.

What is the Shape of the Leaf Springs Ends

Shape of leaf spring ends, photos below are of 1964 K10 built in St Louis, rear springs. Were the leaf spring ends cut square or were they rounded/tapered some. They could have been both ways depending on supplier and/or where the truck was made.

The last photo shows other rear spring parts.

Note: The bottom helper spring does not look original, in photos 1 and 2 below. Will post photos of front springs next, they are not as rounded, however, not cut square either.

Front Spring End Shape '64 K10

Below are photos of front spring end shape, they are cut straight at ends and have a straight taper on the sides length wise at the spring end. This makes the end of the spring narrower.

Blake985 · 12-24-2015, 01:01 PM

Anyone know if these snaps came on these trucks?? Or why someone would go crazy adding them?

Did this truck have a camper on it??

Blake985 · 12-24-2015, 08:02 PM

Not when I got it but who knows??

kippnidaho · 12-24-2015, 10:48 PM

Ok can any body tell me if this is a stock paint scheme. 1966 Base model fawn interior brown dash and grey glove box ashtray and radio delete.
Going through the truck and wondering how to paint the interior.
Thanks

66pnl · 12-24-2015, 11:02 PM

Don't know about the gray but dark fawn dash is correct for 66.
