Hy Perry Dean, I don't have an American parts book, so I can't decifer your V.I.N. for you, but I think the truck is at least a 64 and probably a 65. It has the windshield/cab/doors of at least a 64 [no wrap around windshield], and the 60 series identification is from a 65 model, I believe. Plus it doesn't have a hydraulic clutch. Plus a 62 would have had a 261 engine in it or a V8, hope that helps.

That's a 1965 Chevrolet C60. I had one just like it. '64. '65, & '66 model trucks are identical except for the series emblems.I can tell by the "60" series emblems on your, that it's a '65 model. Also, It's not an Apache. Apaches were '58-'61 light duty trucks. Medium Duty were Vikings, & Heavy Duty were Spartans.
