Vintage Motorcars would like to present this beautiful, complete
frame off restoration, Big Window, 1966 Chevrolet C-10.
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.
The frame off restoration has made the exterior and interior both
in top condition. �Even more impressive than the body is the
freshly rebuilt Turbo 350 automatic with 4 bolt mains and hardened
valves that make this truck drive like a dream and start without
any hesitation. This truck has all new factory brakes, new lowering
shocks, all new dual exhaust, new custom roll pan, new floor bed,
new glass, new coil springs (2" front, 4" rear), and new CPP Power
Steering.�
