1966 Trucks - Awesome Classics!
You have to love the 1966 trucks body style and one of the hottest body styles came from Chevrolet. This model year brought a new body style on the scene in the light pick-up truck category and included many cool first.
The 1966 Chevy Trucks featured a lowered-center ladder frame. This made the cab of the trucks sit lower then previous models. Another feature was the independent front suspension, which improved the ride of the truck and made it closer in feel to riding in a car.
In the 1960's GM gave us with a new designation system for trucks for short 1/2, long 1/2 and 3/4 ton models. This new system replaced the 3100, 3200 and 3600s. In their place was introduced that 10, 20, and 30 designations.
The C/K that would now appear before the series number was implemented to denote whether the truck was 2-wheel drive drive (C for Conventional) or 4-wheel drive which was indicated by the K, a naming system that is still used today.
Perhaps the most distinct feature of the C/K 1966 trucks were the bed styles which could be had in the "Fleetside" which was a smooth and straight (the feature most commonly seen on today's trucks) or the cool "Stepside" version with the accentuated fenders. I still love to see these Stepside trucks - my favorite ever since climbing on my Grandfathers old gray beauty.
The 1966 trucks are classics not only because of age, but also because of body styling and performance. Many advancements in Chevy trucks took place in the early to mid 1960's including a coil-spring front suspension, a new base engine, changes to the wraparound windshield and front grille and the addition of air conditioning in the mid 60's.
If you are a truck lover and love to view the old lines and body and bed styles of old trucks, then take a look at 1966 trucks.
