In the 1966 year truck, Chevrolet went to a dark fawn(brown) dash in flat finish to reduce glare. The remainder of the interior was medium fawn as in prior year.

collins10672 · 07-08-2009, 02:17 AM

while we are on the subject of interior's ol curt.the 60-64 steering wheels and column's were painted white.beginning in 1965 they were painted the interior color (fawn).the 1960-65 steering wheels are the same.the 1966 steering wheel is a one year only design and is the same for custom and standard trucks,except standard trucks had horn button and custom cab had horn ring.

collins10672 · 07-08-2009, 02:21 AM

beginning in 1966 on chevrolet trucks as mandated by federal law.all trucks had backup lamps,seat belts,and two speed windshield wipers with washers.some 1960-65 trucks came equipped with these also,but were options you had to buy before 1966.

Seat belts 58 to 62 and 63 had the same chrome buckle with a sticker added with Chevrolet Crest. Supplied to Chevrolet by the Irving Airchute Co. IBC Model # 5000, same as the passenger car rear seatbelts. 62 and earlier had a courser webbing than the 63 on up. 64 buckle had a Chevrolet Crest cast onto it and were painted I would assume same color as the webbing, black?

There was a thread like this back in october/november of 2008 that had all this info and then some. I think 62prostreet might have started it. Mabey a mod could combine the two threads for us. It used to be a sticky but it went bye bye.

aerotrucks...do you think you could post the pics here instead of a link to the web album?

**aerotruk63** · 07-09-2009, 05:32 PM

I haven't figured how to do that yet. Do you know?

joe231 · 07-09-2009, 05:37 PM

there are a couple different ways, the easiest is to go to the pic you want to post in your picasa album (or any other hosting site or any pics online), right click on the pic you want to add to the post, click on this little thing

paste the pic location into the window that pops up and press enter, now your pic is in the post.

the other way is to click go advanced, then click the little paperclip

it will open a window that will allow you to upload from your computer, but if the pics are too big it will not let you upload them, once you have uploaded all the pics you want (limit 5) click the paperclip agian and click insert all, then you can go in the post and put text between the pics

**aerotruk63** · 07-09-2009, 06:11 PM

There has been some discussions of original wheel sizes and offsets. A copulation of what came on the trucks.

**aerotruk63** · 07-09-2009, 06:20 PM
