Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Looking for pictures of where joint sealant was used on 1960 cab. I just had mine dipped and blasted and while I could just seal all joints, I would like to try to limit it to where the factory used it. Thank you

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
On my 60 C10, previous owner(s) cut out part of the ashtray mount behind dash to fit a radio from a 67 Chevelle in there, They also drilled 4 holes around the speaker slots and mounted a 6x9 speaker with a steel grill. I would like to return to the stock speaker mount. Anyone have pictures of what that looks like?

I can't remember if I took this picture of my '66 or if I found it on the web, but I think this is what you are looking for.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
What a great picture! I was wondering how the speaker was held in place without the typical 4 screws. Now I need to see if I can find what I need to put it back to original. Thank you for the picture.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Have a question about rear springs from my 1966 Custom Camper. I am "preserving" the under side of the truck, just replacing bushings and cleaning up the components. You can see the parts as they were pulled off and the rear springs after an overnight soak. Does the purple paint on the springs look like originals from other trucks?
Thanks |

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Looks factory, probably the color code for the heavy duty 3000lb coils vs. the standard 2000lb. coils. Does your glove box SPID list the HD rear springs? Needless to say, but the 3000lb coil C 20's ride like tanks, however the standard 2000lb C 20's ride very nice.

Front springs, 66’ C20 Custom Camper, orange rate color.
Optional 7500 GVW Also if you can save the axle U bolts,they are in good condition, they are much better then what you buy today. Mine has the same rear springs, with 7500 GVW rating. Les Last edited by aotte1; 08-13-2018 at 01:09 AM. |

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
Finally catching up with summer here and will be back to finishing the brake rebuild and tire swap on my '61 C20. These Coker retro 17.5" tires look great, just hope they ride alright.
Will post more pics as things progress. |

If those are Super Transports from Coker, the set I bought from them are great.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
This are the factory applied numbers/date to the frame. They are painted upside down, in orange - as best we can figure the truck was #889 manufactured on January 29th, 1960.
I had to blast these off when I restored the frame, so we put them back on.

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Factory Correct Restoration Thread
I'm getting close to paint time on my 60 C10 and need some guidance from you factory original guys! I was wondering if the underside of the hood is body color or black. Also, under the front and rear fenders, and underside of cab, is it black or body color?
