1962 C10 Custom Cab Question

[64jmb]

Hello,
I have a few questions about the custom cab interior and the engine for a 1962 C10 pickup. I wanted to know if anyone knew where I can find original material for the 62 custom cab interior with the decorative insert, not for the 1961 or 1963 C10's as they are different. Here is a 1962 picture I found and it is the same material I would need, and also I believe this truck came with a 327. At least it has one in it now I think based on the air cleaner on it and the orange visible paint on the intake. It has been basically owned by the same family since 1962, and I saw on the 62 chevy truck brochure it was available for the bigger truck. Could that be custom ordered for the C10? Let me know. thanks

As far as I knew, the 66 models were the only ones to come out with a factory 327. I could be wrong though..

I found my original 63 stuff at originalauto.com. Give them a shout. You just never know.

I just found this picture on a older post from oem4me. This is the seat material and seat I need.

Mine was 283, 327 didn't come out til 1966 according to book. The engine would be green/grey?. Not orange. Would have genarator not alternator.

It does have a generator, and I think the motor is grey and the intake is orange. Too much dirt to tell yet for sure. The air cleaner looks like the 1962 medium duty truck 327 picture. Could this be special ordered for the C10?

I don't know if a '62 could have been ordered from the factory with a 327, but it certainly could have been dealer installed for the customer.

My very original, unmolested 62 has a 283 in it with an original generator on it as well.

My original interior on my 62...well except for the 57 Chevy BelAir clock someone put on the glovebox door back in the day, lol.

The motor I think is grey and the intake is orange to much dirt on it to see it I need to clean it off first to see but the air cleaner looks like the one in the 62 brochure for the big trucks 327.

[64jmb]

Could you special order a 327 for the C10 in 1962?

My guess is its not a 327, I havent seen an original air cleaner like that on a C10 before. And as far as I know you couldnt get a 327 in any half ton until 66

Yes, the round oil bath on the left is correct for 62 283. Your engine would have been a 2 barrel though.
