Re: How Many Of You Drive Your 60-66 Trucks Daily?
My truck has been my daily driver for about 5 yrs now. 350 with 700r4, manual brakes and steering. I've had almost no issues other than had to replace starter. Cruises great at 70MPH.

Re: How Many Of You Drive Your 60-66 Trucks Daily?
This has been my daily driver since 99, the old girl has gone thru a few facelifts since then. 383 stroker, 700R4, has been very reliable, added disk brakes to help whoa her down.

Re: How Many Of You Drive Your 60-66 Trucks Daily?
Not any more, but just wanted to say that I drove '64 to '66 Chev/GMC trucks as Daily Drivers for over 25 years straight. They brought me great service and saved me a lot of money to boot.
Still have 2 out of the 3. One is a parts truck, the other is still very restorable. The restorable one wore out another engine in 2000 and I parked it as I had picked up a '72 C-10 in the meantime. Those trucks were: -'66 GMC 1000 Short Bed Stepside, 305 V-6, 3-Speed -'64 Chevy C-30 Stake Body, 6-292, 4-Speed -'66 Chevy C-10 Long Bed Fleetside, 327, 3-Speed I'd still buy another in a heartbeat, but the pickings are now more plentiful in the '67 to '72 models. I now have 3 of those. Bill

Re: How Many Of You Drive Your 60-66 Trucks Daily?
I bought this 64 chevy truck 10 years ago but had it sitting in backyard for a couple months it was not a runner and was in faded black primer with alot of spider webs. I was already working on another 64 daily driver. Grandpa wanted it so I sold it to him 10 years ago and he fixed it up now I bought it back on Friday. So now I am making this my daily driver. Well only vehicle I own now

Re: How Many Of You Drive Your 60-66 Trucks Daily?
When I finish mine (next month hopefully) it will be my daily driver. I look forward to it...
Before I started the restoration I had a 10 gallon tank and was getting 7 MPG...I now have a 19 gallon tank and hope to get 24+ with EFI and a new crate engine...anything above 20 I will be happy. |

Never mind, I went back to your build thread. I will be anxious to see what you get. My 65 has a low mileage rebuilt 283, and my 66 has a low mileage 350 Goodwrench crate. I haven't checked my 66, but my 65 got 10 the last I checked. I need to do some tuning.

Re: How Many Of You Drive Your 60-66 Trucks Daily?
I drive mine nearly daily, and sometimes out of town. Gets good mileage on the highway, I average 17-18 easily with a best of 20 mpg. Drivetrain is a 283, t5 with 0.63 overdrive, and 4.10 gearing.
