I combined the other page and changed the main pic to a better one. |

Used quite frequently. I'd say 4 stars. |

Please, could we stop automatically calling almost all Chevrolet pickups "C-10" (or "3100" in former generations), all the more when the picture shows a three-quarters view or only the front fascia? For the first generation of C/K-Series trucks, there was at least: - C-10: ½-ton payload, 115" (2.92 m) wheelbase, 6.5' (1.98 m) bed - C-10: ½-ton payload, 127" (3.23 m) wb, 8' (2.44 m) bed - C-20: ¾-ton payload, 127" (3.23 m) wb, 8' (2.44 m) bed - C-30: ¾-ton payload, 133" (3.38 m) wb, 9' (2.74 m) bed (Stepside bed only) So, knowing that the smallest (115" wb) C-10 seems to look that way: (Sorry, no 1963 model for an exact comparison, I found only a 1965 one with that view) ... and as "our" pickup is that long: ... can anyone differentiate here a ½-ton C-10 127" wb 8' bed from a ¾-ton C-20 127" wb 8' bed? Or from a C-30 133" wb 9' bed, as the rear part of the bed can't be seen? Shouldn't this truck just be identified as a: ⇒ 1963 Chevrolet C-Series? (What is the meaning of the "Custom" complement?) |

@eLMer: Often there are enough other details to distinguish the 1/2 ton from the 3/4 ton. Cargo bed, wheels, hubs, axles, suspension, & brakes are some of the visible clues to help differentiate between models. Without specific features it seems the vehicle falls into the generic "C-Series" classification. |

- Cargo bed: can be the same for 2 models (The 8' bed commonly said to be the C-20 one was also assembled on some C-10 pickups, for example). You can see it in brochures of these years; - Wheels, hubs: unless on a real 1960 movie, they can have (and have often) been changed several times during the 40 to 50 years since the trucks came out from the dealer. And once again the biggest C-10 models (C15x4 code) shared the same wheels with the C-20; - Axles: if you mean single or dual rear wheels, it can work with stakes, but not all the time (C-20 an C-30 stakes can have drw), but we're talking about pickups; If you're talking about wheelbase, 127" wb was available for C-10 and C-20 models, so it can't be a clue; - Suspensions and brakes: I'm not a mechanic, but it seems that for most models you have to look underneath the truck, to see it. Which is not really possible given the pictures we have. I think the only part of it one can see is with a good shot, when you can indeed see if the truck is a K-Serie or not. Anyway, I agree with you, "without specific features the vehicle falls into the generic 'C-Series' classification". Which should be the one of the truck of this page. And by the way, this pickup has the "Stepside" bed option (Edit: the "Custom" trim name can be read on the second thumb of tonkaTRACKER) ⇒ 1963 Chevrolet C-Series Stepside Custom? -- Last edit: 2014-10-09 21:34:10 |

This can't be an easy truck for a teenaged girl to drive. |

did they really rented a vehicle in LA to film in BC or Cinema Vehicles bought it afterwards ? |
◊ 2023-09-14 19:44 |
I guess they did, Baube. |

Or Cinema vehicles bought it from BC. |
