I bought a 1966 C/10 back in 1983 It had a 250 cu six, factory 4 speed with over load single leaf springs for the coil springs. Great truck, paint was blue green color. I had it for 11 years.
Totally agree my father in law gets a new Denali every year and my wife is like why not buy a real truck... excuse me the 52 is a real truck.. a friend has a brand new Chevy paid $30,000 for hit a deer with it and is still waiting to have it fixed.. he is paying of a broken truck just doesn’t make sense to me I like the old stuff because generally can get money back can’t do that with new stuff
Just so you know, Jay..... the C10 was a 1/2 ton truck, C20 was a 3/4 ton truck and a C30 was a 1 ton truck. These were known as light duty trucks. After that there were the medium duty trucks C50 and C60. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a C40 truck designation.
Thank you so much for that correction I thought it was 3100 3200 series were both 1/2 ton 3600 3/4 3800 1 ton I thought it just replaced those looked up your right thank you for that correction =)
Also C25. It’s a 3/4 ton truck with coil springs and half leaf springs making it fall between 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. The C25 was used on the custom camper special trucks. Mine is a 66. Not sure if the earlier years were also C25’s but 66 was. The custom camper also came with a 327 engine option and 400 turbo transmission. You rarely see PRND21 on the 60-66 trucks. They were usually a manual tranny or power glide. Also came with a 4.11 Dana 60 posi rear end. So dodge and Jeep weren’t the only brands to get Dana s
I had one of these trucks back in the seventies. It was a very popular truck. Mine was the same color as this one. I had a 283 with a 3 on the tree. Had a lot of fun with my friends in that old truck.
my first vehicle was my Dad's old 65 C10 stepside. It was 3 on the tree and no power steering or brakes. I took my road test in it and actually passed. Lost my virginity in that truck. Good times.
Those trucks can become a big part of one's life and a cart load of great memories,I have had mine since October of 83,driven that old step side everywhere,never left me walking. I will probably be hauled off to the cemetery in that thing,some may think that couldn't happen soon enough.
Just wanted to mention a couple items. Someone below already corrected you on C10, C20, C30 etc. The duel master cylinder was stock starting in 1960. One cylinder was for brakes and the other was for hydraulic clutch. Someone mentioned below about how bad the rear coil springs were on the C10, and he was right. But, you can get stiffer aftermarket springs that work or even add air bags. The stock heater system in these trucks are fantastic!! My 1960 Chevy Apache step side is an upgraded version with two sun visors, radio, throttle knob, actual temp gage instead of idiot light, some extra chrome, etc. The truck you were looking at was a VERY base model.
The 1960 to 1962 was a dual master cylinder. One side for the brakes and the other the clutch.One reservoir for both.In 1963 They dropped the torsion bar suspension went to a ladder type frame and dropped the XBox frame .Also went bsck to manual clutch. It remained a single cylinder brake master with one reservoir for both the front and back brakes. Not sure what they did in 1967? Hydraulic clutch and torsion bar suspension didn't return till the 80s
C10 is a half ton, C 20 is a 3/4 ton, C 30 is a One ton. C 40 was a 1 & 1/2 ton. C 50 C 60 the larger trucks. The factory four wheel drive trucks were K 10 and K 20 only. One ton and up were converted by NAPCO and Coleman.
I had a customer that had a 1965 C20 which had a 327 V8 with a 4 barrel carb and I'll guarantee you that it didn't have 10.25:1 compression ratio. It ran on regular fuel and you don't do that with that kind of compression. These had truck engines, not Corvette engines. It also had a 3-speed TH400 automatic. Maybe it was a later in the model year offering. I've seen plenty of 1965 & 1966 with Powerglides. Even the next body style 1967-1970 with Powerglides. It's funny, being that this bodystyle started with the 1960 model year and the roofline reminded me of the 1959-1960 flat tops. My grandfather had a 1960 Chevy C10 Stepside with 6 cyl. and 3-speed standard transmission. That little engine had lot's of power as my grandparents hauled around a 25 foot house trailer. It had no problem hauling that trailer from the flatlands to Sequoia National Park.
Unless that truck was a camper special or that 327 was put in later, that was a 283 because you couldn't get a 327 in a truck in '65 unless you got the camper special. In '66, however, it became available for everything.
@@josephg41 The truck my customer had was definitely not a camper special, it was a C20 with a wood-insert bed. It also had a TH400 automatic. 1965 was the first year you could get the TH400 in a Chevy. Most trucks still used the PowerGlide into the next body style. In a 1965 Chevy passenger car, to get the TH400 you usually had to have the mid-year 396 V8, although another customer had a 1965 Caprice with a 327 4 barrel and it had a TH400 automatic. I didn't think that the Caprice came out until 1966, but this 1965 Caprice had the 1965 features and the VIN number and ID tad confirmed it.
I do like the look of these models of Chevy trucks. I don't think I've ever ridden in one and I don't remember seeing a whole lot of them except maybe when I was very young in the early '70s, but I think they have such a distinctive look and with the thick edges of the metal on the roof in the hood that looked tough and strong to me, and the color on that one is really cool 😎 as well as the ones in the ads.
I’ve never ridden one either I have a friend who has an LS in his and he said that it’s faster than just about anything on the road.. sounds super mean
I have driven this model truck for 40 years. I made some up grades, but still prefer this model over today's new trucks. The gas tank is still behind the seat,& the wood is still in the bed.
In these trucks you feel the road, the wind, & the power of this truck. You can add whatever you want from pb, ps, ac, disc brakes, & it doesn't take away the look of this truck.
An old truck Will talk to you almost not with words but expressions and just how things operate as well as feelings.. New cars lost all of that I totally agree with that statement new cars to me are like appliances
Jay the one tons were also drop center framed,they didn't of C-10 Suburbans in long wheel base in regular production,the C-30 Panels were produced in long wheel base,in 66 and older suburbans,and panels they didn't come as 3/4 tons.You are right the Chevy trucks did have two different steering wheels ,the custom cab option had the deluxe wheel.The pull switch of to the left is the standard heater the block off to the right was for the thee slide vertical slide switch deluxe heater.I have a 66,and a big fan of that body style, another great job Jay,Thanks as always for your hard work.By the way I have a 66 C-10 short stepside ex Army truck.
Ii screwed up,the side panel with the black pull knob standard heater,also was used for a three slider switch assembly for the optional deluxe heater,and the right side block off was used for the factory available AC three pull switch controls. I am sorry about mix up

@@patrickmcgoldrick8234 Also, each floor vent on the R & L kick panel was individually controlled by a hoop-style handle that allowed driver and passenger to open and close, and adjust air flow into the cabin.
Normally I am not a huge fan of pickups because they’er often too big, fuel thirsty, and overpriced. However I have a special place in my heart for the older ones of the 50s and 60s. I had a friend who had a sleeper-modified 53 Ford pickup with faded metallic paint and original wheels (and unfortunately brakes) but with a huge, bored out engine with a racing 4 speed automatic under the hood. My boss for a college job had a 64 Chevy with another oversized engine with a 3 on a tree column shift with a linkage that was gerry-rigged with coat hanger wire. The latter truck was a hoot to drive except for the fact that the gear selector either was stuck only having second gear or first and third gears for the cobbled together linkage was finicky. And another problem was that aside from the ignition and starter, there was no electricity to the brake lights or turn signals, for someone had shoved their foot hard into the wiring harness in a panic stop! The best thing about the old trucks were that they were good old girls that were simple, reliable, and got the job done… even if it was with a few coat hanger wires, and driving the back streets with no lights and signals!
I have a 1966 K-20 which I believe is 3/4 ton…..you said K-20 was 1/2 ton. Same color scheme white trim but like baby blue. I upgraded mine with vac boosted dual chamber brake master cylinder. I find problems finding some parts. Couldn’t find the wear grommets on the end of the three on the tree shift linkage had to fab my own. The windshield wipers are absolutely the worst flimsy things but can’t rind alternatives.
What's it like hi Jay I never owed had 65 Chevrolet pickups but did own 1964 EL Camino and two1960 Chevrolet cat eye pickups at same time both we're two wheel drive one was step side one was fleetside plus I also owned two 1967 Chevrolet pickups both fleetside and 1972 Chevrolet fleetside pickup well have great Friday night and a great weekend :-)
It is absolutely insane what people are trying to charge for a paint job now... I paid 5000 to get my mustang painted 12 years ago.. I found a body shop to do the Karman Ghia for 2500 but that was after looking for a long time somebody wanted 15 grand just to spray it.. That is the biggest thing about living here that sucks no one paints cars anymore the best way to get it done is they have an insurance claim because that is the only way that you can get a car painted in western Pennsylvania generally have to go to Ohio not to pay an arm and a leg..
@@What.its.like. A few years after this song the spinners teamed up with Dionne Warwick and sang “Then Came You “ I don’t know what song you played but it sounded like the SPINNERS.
I've never seen the really long bed on these either. I like that the six was still there, but the lowering of the body just ruined it for me. I had a 65 ELCamino that I made into a street rod.
My Uncle Cliff had Chevrolet trucks. One was just a year or two before this featured one. Also, this engine reminds me a lot of my 65 Chevy II wagon. Just sayin.
@What.its.like. I have a 66 gmc and it has leaf springs in the back. It had a 305 Cid V6 engine when new. I love it it's my show truck now. It's on my channel often
@@What.its.like. Wrong, it does have a heater. In fact, in your shot of the engine bay, you can clearly see where the heater hoses are attached. The defroster is nothing more than a manually-operated baffle system that's controlled by the pull-push knob that you incorrectly called an air vent control. It re-directs the air flow from the blower fan.
They're so damn ugly that I absoluely love them, and it's 'I'll Be Around' by The Spinners. The 63 is my favorite C/K, and I'm trying to buy a 66 right now. I know what should be the first song I play on my way home, lol
I get the same exact when driving my 52 I’m always like it’s not for sale. If my wife is in earshot she’ll be like hold hold on a second how much are we talking? Lol
New trucks are better in almost every way. BUT…they have no soul. They aren’t fun to drive. They don’t have a personality. That’s where a old C10 beats them by a mile. The C10 will last longer too
Totally agree but will take it another step further and add new trucks are appliances not machines.. I have a 52 Chevy 1 ton, I wanted a machine I wanted a truck, people buy trucks now to make up for the size of something else and don’t ever use them for their intended purpose.. that’s why we have trucks like the maverick (not downing it I reviewed one they are cool) I shot is this versus that episode involving my 52 Chevy 1 ton trucks versus my father-in-law‘s GMC 1 ton Dinali.. hoping this week sometime to put that together I didn’t go in depth with his as much as I generally do because I could literally talk about every single button that truck has his truck has more lights and the Christmas tree.. but cost $100k mine cost less than $10k but does that mean that my truck is inferior I’m pretty sure I have to look it up but I’m pretty sure that my truck is rated to haul more in the bed than his bed his can pull more. But I don’t have a trailer it’s going to be an interesting episode it’s probably gonna be titled non-comparison comparison.. I’m going outside the box thinker and that is an outside the box episode

Maybe I missed it ? No defrost/heat? It seems like it should have went where that vertical cover plate was.
Yeah now that you mention it this one doesn’t have heat
I thought that was required? Even back then. Trust me it’s impossible to see when your breath instantly freezes to the inside of the windshield
My 67 mustang did not have the heater hooked up when it got down to those conditions it sucked..
He had his hand on the heater knob. Pulls out for heat and turns right for fan. The defrost is a lever under the dash near the floor.

New trucks are better in almost every way. BUT…they have no soul. They aren’t fun to drive. They don’t have a personality. That’s where a old C10 beats them by a mile. The C10 will last longer too
Totally agree but will take it another step further and add new trucks are appliances not machines.. I have a 52 Chevy 1 ton, I wanted a machine I wanted a truck, people buy trucks now to make up for the size of something else and don’t ever use them for their intended purpose.. that’s why we have trucks like the maverick (not downing it I reviewed one they are cool)
I shot is this versus that episode involving my 52 Chevy 1 ton trucks versus my father-in-law‘s GMC 1 ton Dinali.. hoping this week sometime to put that together I didn’t go in depth with his as much as I generally do because I could literally talk about every single button that truck has his truck has more lights and the Christmas tree.. but cost $100k mine cost less than $10k but does that mean that my truck is inferior I’m pretty sure I have to look it up but I’m pretty sure that my truck is rated to haul more in the bed than his bed his can pull more. But I don’t have a trailer it’s going to be an interesting episode it’s probably gonna be titled non-comparison comparison.. I’m going outside the box thinker and that is an outside the box episode
Why a truck that only loads hlf a tonne,POINTLESS,SHOULD ALL HVE BEEN 1.5 TONNE😅
