1966 Chevrolet C-10

The 1966 Chevrolet pickup truck was manufactured in large numbers. Many of these pick-ups remain, if not on the roads, then in antique show rooms or among collectors. This fleet of durable vehicles contributed to Chevrolet's solid sales that year, and accounted for more than $10 million in sales.

Engine and Transmission

1966 was the first year Chevrolet introduced the 327 V8 engine with a turbo hydromatic transmission. Consumers buying Chevy pick-ups could choose among several engine and transmission options. Available engines included a 3.9L OHV I-6 with 135 horse power, 4.1L OHV I-6 with 140 horse power, 4.3L OHV I-6 with 150 horsepower, 4.8L OHV I-6 with 165 to 170 horsepower and a 4.6L OHV V-8 engine with 160-175 horse power. Buyers could choose a three or four-speed manual or two or three speed automatic transmission.

Standard Features

The interior was minimal. A simple instrument panel controlled two-speed windshield wipers, back up lamps and a turn the knob AM radio, which was the standard sound system. Seat belts and dual long arm mirrors completed the cab.
