Aircraft-inspired "nacelles" graced the hood of the attractively
restyled 1960 Chevrolet C10, which now relied on independent front
suspension (the pickup market's first) sprung by torsion bars
instead of coils. Coil springs brought up the rear in place of the
leafs installed prior to 1960. Conventional coils replaced the
torsion bars up front in 1963, allowing the frame's reinforcing
x-member, in place since 1960, to be deleted.
The 1960 model year was the first in which Chevy pickups featured a
full-width pickup box as standard equipment. Styling is a hit or
miss affair for the earlier years (1960-62), with wrap-around
windshields and their unique hoods that are all but impossible to
find as replacements. GM discontinued this difficult-to-stamp
component for the 1963 model year, even for collision replacement
parts, so it's not unusual to find earlier trucks with the later
1963-66 hoods. Those later years saw styling that was more
mainstream looking, and those are generally most sought-out by
collectors. Externally, only the trim shuffle games prevalent in
Detroit at the time differentiate 1964 through 1966s.
Styling updates included a switch back to dual headlights in 1962.
The basic body carried over through 1966 but was graced with
restyled roof posts in 1964, giving the cab a more rakish
appearance.
New model designations debuted for 1960, with the former
3100-series half-ton tag traded for a "C10" identification, the "C"
being short for "conventional," or two-wheel-drive. The "K" prefix
continued to signify the presence of a four-wheel-drive pickup.
Power trains are similar to the previous "Task Force" era trucks,
with choices of thrifty-yet-durable inline sixes or small-block
V-8s that still work in modern traffic. Especially prized are the
final year 1966s with the optional and beloved 327-cid small-block
V-8 (even if it is detuned two-barrel best suited for low-end
torque rather than a powerhouse Corvette 4-barrel). This era of
trucks also saw a greater availability of creature comfort
options�especially power steering, power brakes and air
conditioning�helping to transition pickups into becoming second
cars.
The modern specialty aftermarket fully supports this generation of
Chevy truck, with reproduction items and regular service parts both
easily found in the modern retail parts chain stores, making them
especially easy to own.
