Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this restored and
slightly custom 1962 GMC street rod pickup truck.
HISTORY
The 1960 model year introduced a new body style of light pick-up
truck that featured many firsts. Most important of these were a
drop-center ladder frame, allowing the cab to sit lower, and
independent front suspension, giving an almost car-like ride in a
truck. Also new for 1960 was a new designation system for trucks
made by GM. Gone were the 3100, 3200, and 3600 designations for
short 1/2, long 1/2 and 3/4-ton models. Instead, a new scheme
assigned a 10, 20, or 30 for 1/2, 3/4, and 1-ton models. Since
1957, trucks were available from the factory as four-wheel drive,
and the new class scheme would make this known. AC (conventional)
in front of the series number designates 2-wheel rear drive while a
K designates 4-wheel drive.
Actual badging on Chevrolet trucks carried the series name system
from the previous generation in 1960 and 1961: the 10, 20, 30, and
40 series (C and K) were badged as "Apaches", 50 and 60 series
trucks were badged as "Vikings", and the largest 70 and 80 series
models were marked "Spartans". In 1960, C/K trucks were available
in smooth "Fleetside" or fendered "Stepside" versions. GMC called
these "Wide-Side" and "Fenderside." Half-ton models were the C10
and K10 long-bed and short-bed trucks, and The 3/4-ton C20 and K20,
as well as the one-ton C30, were also available. GMC did not use
the "C" nomenclature, though their 4x4 versions used the "K"
nomenclature. GMC model numbers for 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1.5 ton were
1000, 1500, 2500, and 3000. The 1.5 ton Chevrolet C40 and GMC 3000,
which were using the light-duty cab (but only as chassis-cab and
stake models), were discontinued for the 1963 model year.
The 1960, 1961, and 1962 models featured torsion bar front
suspensions, with trailing arm suspension rears. Trim lines were
base and "Custom." Engines included the base GMC 305 in3 V6 for the
GMC version, 135 hp (101 kW) 236 in3 (3.9 L) and 150 hp (112 kW)
261 in3 (4.3 L) straight-6s, and a 283 in3 (4.6 L) V8 with 185 hp
(119 kW) SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA
