Question from Australia - Original C-10 specifications - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

63-383 · 09-12-2009, 05:23 PM

Hi everyone, I am 1963 C-10 owner from Australia.

To get my truck roadworthy I need to find out what the original factory specifications of the truck are so I need the following measurements:

* - rims/tyres
* - front track
* - rear track.

Does anyone know a website where I might be able to get these measurements from? I know that there were a lot of options for the trucks when they were new so there could be quite a few variations to the standard measurements which is what I am hoping as my truck has been modified quite a bit.

There arent many C-10's over here so any help you guys might be able to offer will be much appreciated.

You might want to try the following website:
http://www.6066gmcguy.org/

It's a GMC site, but they have more specifications than any other site I've found, they even have a link that shows the differences between Chevy and GMC by model.

I haven't been able to find the track information yet, if I do I'll respond again. As for tire/rim sizes, per the 1960 Chevrolet Shop Manual, there were 4 sizes available. I "assume" these offerings remained the same for 1963 but cannot confirm as I don't have that manual:

6.70-15-4
6.70-15-6
6.50-16-6
7-17.5-6
