I posted a link to the donor truck below if that helps. The standard drivetrain was the 3-speed manual tranny with two available engine options: The 250 inch straight 6 and the 283 cubic inch V8. Not original front seat, not stock bucket sets installed. Not sure of year of front axle but I think It's a 74. Model Series designations for 1960 were completely revised. The name change is also found in the vehicle identification number.
At first glance, the 1969 and 1970 grilles look very similar. The standard drivetrain was the 3-speed manual tranny with two available engine options: The 250 inch straight 6 and the 283 cubic inch V8. There were two types of pickup boxes to choose from. They are not stock and may not be used for manipulations, references, blogs, journals, share sites, etc. Its tuff because I have already started into the 6 cylinder, rebuilt the carb and blasted and painted the original rims,then wrapped them in new goodyears.
The light-duty 1960 to 1965 pickups came in half-, three-quarter- and one-ton versions. Hopefully somebody else knows how. Second, an additional trim package was introduced: the Cheyenne. I wanted to restore it but I have too many other projects. In 1989, a Fleetside Sport package was available with matching body color bumpers and grille, chrome wheels, and fog lights.
They have nicely stated that getting too crazy with your plans will end up in another eBay basket case. This is the place to be for good information on your '60 Chevy Apache. New dual tier halogen became available with the Deluxe Front Appearance package. That's the absolute cheapest start you can have. They were initially powered with a Chevrolet 4. Also, a new grill was used. Conventional four-wheel drive pickups featured manual and a two-speed 205 transfer case with four drive modes: Two High, Four High, Neutral, and Four Low.
Im leaning towards a newer model short bed frame with power steering and a 700R4. Fuel doors were added on models equipped with a bed to hide the previously exposed fuel caps. Mechanical updates included more anti-corrosion techniques, reduced weight, and a new 5. In 1961, Chevy upsized the 327 cubic inch engine to 350 cubic inch displacement that netted 195 to 200 horsepower. There were two engine choices: the V8 replaced the , while the venerable continued. The axle itself is unique, being a 14-bolt semi-floating unit which uses standard Chevrolet 5 on 5-inch wheels—the only factory-produced 14-bolt axle with such a wheel bolt pattern.
A utility variant, known as the , was also introduced with a shorter wheelbase of 104 inches 2,642 mm. Tulsa is another company that did 4x4 conversions for utility companies. The three-quarter-ton model sat on a 127-inch wheelbase and the one-ton version had a 133-inch wheelbase. All models got new, flatter dash trim panels, black on the lower two trims and aluminum-look on the fancier two. The third safety advancement was the introduction of dual front lap-and-shoulder with emergency for outboard occupants in 1975 for the 1976 model year. In High the center differential was unlocked and allowed the front and rear propeller shafts to slip as needed for full-time operation. Front wheel drive shaft not installed but included.
Two High gave a 0:100 torque split, while Four High yielded a locked 50:50 torque split. Especially prized are the final year 1966s with the optional and beloved 327-cid small-block V-8 even if it is detuned two-barrel best suited for low-end torque rather than a powerhouse Corvette 4-barrel. The new automatic locking differential was offered under the G86 code, replacing the Eaton NoSpin differential, and eventually replacing the old Positraction in 1974, at which point it assumed the G80 code. The one-ton models kept the conventional leaf springs in the rear. Again, do no know why it wasn't installed. There is a tailgate but it's not restorable I acquired this vehicle from an estate after it had been sitting for over 5 years.
. Front wheel drive shaft not installed but included. It is a I6 4 speed and hasnt run for about 15 years. The sidesaddle fuel tanks themselves, were found to have a highly resistant to crushing or crumpling from a side impact. The kicker is the truck has a really nice body which I would sell and make most of my money back! Once the shift from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive was made, the vehicle could be driven at any forward or reverse speed. My dad built the the 327 7 years ago and has since passed away.
Dual exhaust was also added during the '91-'93 model years. I just want to do it right! Well thanks for the welcome and I hope to stay in touch. Unlike their siblings, they were not sold to the general public nor did they bear Holden badging , and they were not built as right-hand-drive at the factory. The standard drivetrain was a three-speed manual transmission and one of two engines; the 250 in 3 straight six or the 283 cu in 4. It would include better brakes, a 12 bolt rear, and a 350 trans, and the power steering I really want among alot of other extras. This is my first big project and Im ready to dive in. A sleeker front bow-like look emerged, similar to a ship's with the front end being gently swept back from the center.

The was relocated from the cab to the outboard sides of one or both beneath the cab floor extending under the leading edge of the pickup box, commonly referred to as a arrangement. Small block with 400 automatic transmission! Then, an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor was put in place to keep up with feeding the powerful 350 C.
