!Check out the new TRUCK! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bolton66chev · 09-13-2007, 09:55 PM

So here is my new chevy I just bought the other day.....$1600. Good or bad on the price? This is my first project and wanted some ideas. On top of that I really dont know exactly what model it is; all I know is '66 327 V8 with new dual exhaust and there is a cord on the bed which would most likely make it a custom camper but not too sure. It is also hard to find parts for it all I ever see is either C-10, 20, or 30
If anyone could help with either info on the truck and/or ideas for a rebuild that would be awesome.

Sweet.

ClassicAutoResto · 09-13-2007, 10:19 PM

Great start!

60ratrod · 09-13-2007, 11:20 PM

nice snag. 62-66's are easier to find parts for than a 60. check lmc, ebay, and craigslist. i think that the custom campers were c20's if my memory serves correct. if you go the ebay route, for search options in the year block type 1962 through 1966, and in the keyword(s) type truck and the make just type chevy. and craigslist type c10, c20, and of coarse chevy truck

kris's66lwb · 09-14-2007, 01:08 AM

hey *****en truck man the camper speicals were c20s so ther a little harder to get parts for than the c10s and if you dont want the grille call me 619 922 6263

SOOOOOOOOO TRUE !!!! Hey great score

chevytrucknut · 09-14-2007, 08:13 PM

Nice truck and a good price too. The custom camper option was a 3/4 ton C20 with extras like the big mirrors,overload springs and clearance lites on top the cab. Chevy even made a camper that could be ordered on the truck also. Great find. Welcome to the group.

60ratrod · 09-14-2007, 08:46 PM

since i over looked it, welcome to the sight from oak harbor/whidbey island

gulfcoast66 · 09-14-2007, 11:09 PM

Great truck welcome to the board fm TEXAS!

factorystock · 09-15-2007, 12:38 AM

Great find for a first project. 1966 model is the last of the series and the most refined. You have a very original 3/4 ton with a great set of custom options and a great powertrain, the 327 and the th400. Just remember it was not built by the factory to be a street rod, but built to haul a camper with ease.Please show a photo of the "service indentification parts" decal located on the inside of glove box to learn all of the options installed at factory.

fercho71 · 09-15-2007, 12:41 AM

nice truck man and welcome from San Diego

chevytrucknut · 09-15-2007, 01:52 AM

If you have the orginal seat still in the truck you may find the orginal build sheet under the springs on the back and bottom of the seat.

**ChiefRocka** · 09-15-2007, 09:05 AM

Good score on the truck.....very good deal....

Welcome from SJ Cali.

factorystock · 09-15-2007, 10:43 PM

Here is some more specific items included in the option.

jchav62 · 09-17-2007, 12:21 PM

Nice truck! Great price... Congrats and welcome for NM...

72BlckButy · 09-17-2007, 02:52 PM

Great find!

*LILRED66* · 10-11-2007, 06:09 PM

Nice rig. Here are a few photos of my '66 Chevy C20 Custom Camper. Every part on this truck is interchangable with the '64-'66 Chevy C10, C20, K10 and K20, with the exception of some of the suspension parts and the emblems.

Enjoy and welcome to the forum from Kansas City, KS.
