But this pickup has a 8 ft bed: (Standard C-10 with 115"/2.92 m wheelbase and 6.5 ft/1.98 m bed: hardly a wheel diameter between the cab and the rear wheel arch // Long C-10 with 127"/3.23 m wheelbase and 8 ft/2.44 m bed: almost a cab door width between the cab and the rear wheel arch - These trucks are 1962 and 1966 models, but 1962 to 1966 models share the same wheelbase and bed lengths) So unless we have a picture that show us the number on the fender emblem, and as the C-20 also used the same 127"/3.23 m wheelbase and 8 ft/2.44 m bed, we cannot say for sure that the one of this page is a long ½-ton C-10 or a standard ¾-ton C-20. The only details that can be seen are that this truck seems indeed to be low enough to be a C-Series rather than a K-Series, and that it has the Fleetside bed option. ⇒ 1962 Chevrolet C-Series Fleetside? -- Last edit: 2014-11-18 00:26:25
