It does look like a very nice truck! What engine does it have in it? I guess it would have had/has a 283 or 235 being a '62.

BTW, now I see you said "GM HO 10 bolt" 1963c-10. I've never called them that, so I tend to associate that with people confusing the smaller Eaton rears in the pre-'63 half tons for the later 10 bolt GM rear. FWIW, the Eaton 52/72 was actually used under 20-30 series (3/4-1 ton) trucks all the way from 1947 (IIRC) until the introduction of the 14 bolt that replaced it in 1973.
I'm still trying to determine what exactly I have in it. Its got a straight six in it. Has the code 3836848 GM17 on the right side. Everything I keep reading says its a 230 but I didn't think they made 230's. The other side has B52 848 850 stamped on it. I have the 60-66 Assembly Manual. I looked through it last night and couldn't find what I wanted.
