Photos of my 64 C10 Short/Fleet - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**MikeN** · 06-19-2008, 02:15 PM

I have finally joined the modern world and learned how to post photos, so I thought I'd share a couple of my ride. I bought this truck in 1995, and have put about 60,000 miles on it since that time. Other than a drivetrain upgrade from 250 I6/non-synchro Saginaw 3-sp to a 350 V8/heavy duty Muncie 3-sp, and new wood in the bed, I bought the truck pretty much as seen in these photos I took last night.

EDIT: Bed photo taken last summer when I finished the new wood.

thats a great looking ride! great condition!!

Rogue 64 · 06-19-2008, 02:47 PM

If that 64 was any cleaner, you would have to call it Chinete!

Nice Job!

Nice looking truck!! Very clean!!

72BlckButy · 06-19-2008, 03:22 PM

That is one beautiful truck!

**MikeN** · 06-19-2008, 03:40 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm currently working on installing an 18" clutch fan and fabbing a shroud big enough to house it. Hopefully that will clean up the engine compartment a bit. I have a new fan coming to replace the junkyard special in the photo.

dan42 · 06-19-2008, 04:03 PM

Very nice truck - looks like the original paint.

jchav62 · 06-19-2008, 06:13 PM

SAAWEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!

Texasdeere · 06-19-2008, 09:50 PM

Super Nice!

I Like It!

You don't see too many nice stock looking trucks like that around here.

billydonn · 06-19-2008, 11:00 PM

Nice and clean. What's the tranny... doesn't look stock!

Yes, it's a Muncie 3-speed. According to the casting numbers, it's from a 71 Chevelle with big block. I moved the shifter to the floor with a Hurst Master Shift unit. I've been real happy with it. Having synchros on all gears is nice, it's a much smoother and quieter transmission, and first gear is taller, which I like.

Interesting... we don't imagine 71 Chevelles with big blocks and three-speeds, but all sorts of combinations could be ordered back in the day. Again... nicely done!

Nice truck. My Dad had a 65 that color when I was a kid. Wish he still had it...

What did you use to finish the wood in the bed? I like the black color of the wood. Is the wood pine or oak or something else?

protrash64 · 06-20-2008, 11:28 PM

Very nice truck. Looking at the interior reminded me to ask..........How does the horn button fit to the steering wheel? I have 2 buttons and 1 wheel, but I must be missing a piece.....the horn button just sits there and falls out. Anybody?

It's oak, painted with one coat of Sherwin Williams exterior oil-based primer, and two coats of Sherwin Williams oil-based semi-flat black exterior paint.

protrash64 · 06-20-2008, 11:35 PM

I have rubber on the back of the horn buttons?? Nothing on the wheel, is this what you are refering to?

Yes, there should be a ring on the wheel this should push into.

protrash64 · 06-20-2008, 11:43 PM

Kool, understood....thats what Im missing..........rubber on the wheel. Wasnt trying to jack MikeN's thread.

greg64 · 06-21-2008, 12:23 AM

Nice looking truck, Mike. Funny, but the fan is the one thing I didn't like. I'm going electric puller on my burb. Cleaner look, better cooling and much less chance of taking a finger off!

I actually found a clutch fan from a Chevelle over the weekend that fits inside the stock shroud, so I re-assembled it that way. It seems to work OK, but agreed that electric fans are a neater solution.

AllenKarber · 06-23-2008, 08:00 PM

Too cool man!

I love it.
