Reverse lights became standard on the 1966 C-10. Without seeing the front or sides, you can't pin it down more than that, I think.

I would have to agree with Otto on 1966. Reverse lights aren't listed prior to 1966 Model year in the GM Heritage site documents. Nor could I find anything in dealer ads prior to 1966.
Nice old pic Wally! Thanks for sharing.

Could be ‘60-‘66. Double hump dash would be ‘60-‘63 but can’t see through the rear small window. I had a ‘63 big window custom cab that had back up lights.
Larry Old man᠁Old truck᠁neither one goes very fast. All you need in life is TIME, PATIENCE and MONEY. If you are missing one component, you'll need an abundance of the others two.
Wally, this must be the same storm that packed you engine compartment with snow!

Ha ! I can see that, I went to high school in Cheyenne. Used to drive to Laramie to see a girl. You can sure go fast on I-80 in the winter!
