A '62 C10 just came into a junkyard I frequent. The engine, trans, radiator and grille are gone, but it was a well-optioned truck:
Chrome front and rear bumpers, front bumper gaurds, all the side aluminum trim, day/night mirror, dual sunvisors, full horn ring (though pitted). Manual brakes, and I didn't think to check to see if there were hoses going to the steering box, but don't remember seeing any.
Driveline was v8, with an auto trans (both gone).
What surprised me is the factory windshield washer set-up and auto trans.
It still has the auto trans column, but there is no shift indicator--nor can I tell where there was one. Where were these, and what did they look like? (anything like a '62 car?)
It also has the full windshield washer system.
I'll be going back to pick some pieces for my '62 Suburban. (day/night mirrir, washer set-up, headlight switch, park brake cables, maybe the radiator core support panel, etc.)
Just curious how rare the washer set-up is, and the auto trans column. All the linkage is gone, but the column is still there.
There is also an arm rest on the driver's door, and it looks factory. Were there arm rests available? The passenger door was never drilled for one.
