Re: looking for opinions
Found your SPID in photos posted back when it was for sale.
Ok, this is interesting... Your C20 is equipped nearly the same as a Custom Camper would have been, though I don't see tinted glass or 16" wheels listed on the spid (even though both appear to be present, no?). I also noticed a heavy rear spring is listed, which is not included in the CC package, I don't think. So, minus the side badges, it looks like you got everything the Custom Camper package included and more. Lastly, maybe chrome mirrors may have been desired over the painted versions that came with the Z81 option. ? Hmmm ... something tells me the truck was purposefully ordered WITHOUT the Z81 option so that another item wouldn't be excluded. Experts? Anyone? Compare these. |

Re: looking for opinions
So,,,,,although, the spec tag says C&C equipment, and it appears to be set up much as the Custom Camper, it is actually really badged as the C-20 with the heavy duty-ness of the CC? Just so I know...slim

Re: looking for opinions
Do a sympathetic preservation restoration, keep it as original as possible or sell it to me...FWIW

Yes, your truck is a C-20 equipped very much the same way as a Custom Camper would have been, with the addition of heavy duty rear springs and a few other optional items. Also interesting to note that most Z81 Custom Campers that I have seen are equipped with the big V8 (327) or big six (292), your truck has the 283. Not sure of the significance here.

Re: looking for opinions
Wow! The Chrome Cigar Lighter Option! Very important that they put that in the advertisement pamphlets.

Re: looking for opinions
Agreed. it is confusing, basic sales brochures leaves out a lot of details of whats included in packages and what was available a separate options and accessories. If the original salesman was not up to it, you really had to do plenty of research on your own, studying every piece of literature available. The custom camper package has no powertrain options included , so it was entirely up to the original buyer or dealership to order the most appropriate set up. As to the Z62 , known as custom comfort option or also custom comfort and convenience option (C+C}. The Z61 was known as the custom appearance package, (bright grille, windshield molding , trim plate moulding-sails,and horn ring). V 37 was the other appearance package, chrome front bumpers and hubcaps. Like you mentioned Oem4me, this truck appears to be ordered to carry a camper, without the custom camper option. This C 20 should have came with the standard 17.5" wheels, the SPID does not show 16" wheels. The Custom Camper package automatically comes with 16" wheels, and will not show up on the SPID. The 16" wheels may have been a shortly after sale upgrade by dealer.

Re: looking for opinions
Typical gas mileage for a 292 with a 4.56. A 4.10 ratio would have brought it it up to 12.Even thought the 4.10 was optional C 20 ratio beginning in 1963, a large majority of '63-'66 C 20's came with the standard 4.56.
