Re: Brought this home last night...
Pretty cool ... if you're into short fleets, anyway.
![]() It's a bit hard to explain the newer seat cover with such low miles. Hmmm. |

Re: Brought this home last night...
Like I said the p.o. and his mother swear it has 17,000... it could be 117,000 either way the truck is still really cool. I should preface mileage with the disclaimer that I have no proof, other than their word, to support the mileage claim. Tell me what you know about the seat cover, I know nothing about these year trucks, Is it the wrong pattern that makes you think it's not original? The steering wheel is hardly worn too... The drivers arm rest and the floor mat are pretty worn but mostly dried out.

No way to know what kind of care was given in the past, but the orig seats and floor mats were pretty stout. I personally have a truck with near 100K miles and the orig seat cover is still near perfect. Another 50K floor mat with NO noticeable wear. just sayin. Really liking your shorty truck with the six and PG combo. Great score, low miles or not! For reference, the seats pictured below are from a 65 Suburban. 64 and 65 shared the same patterns and fabric, so your seat would've looked just like these, but in a solid bench form. |

Nice looking C10.

Re: Brought this home last night...
I think I'll stay a ustacould, it's better than being a never was and a ton less pressure to "keep up with the Jones".
![]() I knew I was being watched, I'll bet it's the government... or Hart_Rod!

Re: Brought this home last night...
Nice find! Love the name you gave it just what the Dr. ordered for your condition.
I agree on the seat cover not being correct. From the engine bay pic you also have the HD cooling option for the radiator and a different air cleaner than my '65 had originally. Since you said it had a repaint, I wonder if the interior got a repaint too at that time? It might explain the non-worn paint on the steering wheel and the area under the ignition switch. Could have gotten a cover done on the seat too at that time...

Any chance that seat cover was installed over the factory one close to when it was new? I never understood this thinking, but it was common enough back then. |

Re: Brought this home last night...
Got the truck running today, shot a video of it idling. Also took it around the block and it runs real well. I was thinking I might do the PerTronix electronic ignition upgrade but I don't think it'll need it. The spark plugs were completely fuel fouled so I loaded up a new set. While they were out I did a compression test and all the cylinders were around 160#. After gapping and installing the plugs I pumped the gas pedal twice and it fired right up! It was smoking a little bit and while I was investigating it I found the oil level was 2" above the full mark, pretty sure that's the culprit so I'll lend a hand at keeping the mosquito population at bay.
