meaning of dash lights..

Stupid question but here it is...
The letter C on a 65 stepside, what does stand for? Check engine??? Or charge?? But it can't be charge, because GEN is for the alternator right... Thanks guys.

Cold? Meaning what exactly, can you give me the reasons why it might be flashing cold? It flashes while I'm on the road, and the temp on my gauge reads 160'F

NFG!!!!!!
No Finnin' Good!!
If the light comes on when you're going down the highway then your motor is running a bit cold. Factory thermostat is a 180*. At 160* your light might come on.
So what thermostat you using?
