create image hosting account (photobucket or similar hosting site) and upload your images.

Find the picture you want to upload and copy the IMG link.

Come back here, and in the Quick Reply, PASTE the IMG link here...the image will show up in the thread.

Click REPLY on a thread and it will load the little reply "box"

And be sure to hit ENTER between pics so they're all on a new line or it'll run way off the side and look awful

Photobucket is good, so is imageshack, I use Windypix.com, some others use their Kodak accounts.

You can also do it without a hosting site. I keep all my pics on my PC. You can click "Go Advanced", scroll down to "Manage Attachments" and Browse. Click on the pics you want...upload.

1Bad62Pro/Street · 11-28-2012, 03:56 PM

This option does work, but like not pressing ENTER between the pics it breaks the forum tables and pics end up scrolling off to the right indefinitely. I *believe* there's a patch for this version of our forum but we don't seem to have it installed.

Did the 1964 trucks come with hood ornaments & spotlights? I just got one with both & was wondering if they are factory.

They were both factory authorized accessories, but I doubt they would have been available on the production line. More likely they were dealer installed options. Unity brand spotlights were offered by GM. Appleton spotlights were not.

To the best of my knowledge the hood bird was a GMC only accessory, but many ended up on Chevrolets.

Auctioneerhere · 12-01-2012, 10:05 PM

Do the turn signal lights in the hood on a 64 also act as parking lights?

If they do my bulbs are shot or I have an issue.

MikeS. · 11-30-2012, 01:05 AM

For pics just use the photo gallery here on the board. Upload them here and be done with it.

66fleetsidewarrior · 01-09-2013, 10:55 PM

I have a 66 c10 that I am pretty sure has a bad bearing in it because I can definitely hear a clunking noise that shouldn't be there on the bottom end. Is there anyway that I can identify if I have the large or short journals without pulling the motor. I am going to pull it to rebuild what i need to but because of my work schedule it hasn't happened as fast as I have wanted to and would love to have my rebuild kit ordered by the time I pull it if possible. Right now the only way I know of is to measure the rod journals with a micrometer but was hoping there was a quicker way. Any info is greatly appreciated!!!

hope this works....

61K10 · 12-01-2013, 11:57 AM

didn't the big trucks have this? I think they were used with trucks with a governor, and a 2/speed axle? drove a chevy 60 or 80 truck many yrs ago that had the light.

I think so. I have two cluster asm., one with a factory tac. One off my 62 k20 and the other off a c20 i pulled from a truck at my friends junkyard. Didnt have a light hooked up to either one. All the other 60-63 trucks I find only have idiot lights. I guess full gauges in these trucks are rare? I just baught a decal kit to restore one for my truck. The tac. seams to work. I hooked it up to a 1.5 dry cell battery and the needle on the tac jumps. Am I going to have to use a transmitter on this tac? The c20 donner was scrapped shorty after I managed to get some good parts off it.
