There is a slight difference in the shape. It is too hard to describe on writing.
On the right side of the water pump, were it hooks to the thermostat housing is in slightly different spots. 1963-1964 all had the same style. 1965-1984 all had the same style. Hope this helps.

Thanks Kro and T.J.!

You can order one from lmc or the truck shop or even classic caries them. Napa auto parts carries them also. If you have an autozone or baxter near by I am sure they carry water pumps for the 292. I could sell you my old one! I need a new one!:lol::lol: Price rang should be between $40-60 for a new one( I think).

I got a drivers side door lock from a junk yard for five dollars then got it re-tumbled to fit the original key. For my passenger door.

Future grill idea for my truck its the GMC grill cut out of the middle and replace it with the Chevy middle piece.

Not yet Kro, trying to get it on the road, then we will start with upgrades! Possibly moving here in the near future too, so things are in a bit of turmoil right now. Hopefully get to jamming on it, and my '60 soon though!!

Re: 1965 C-10 - Sleeping Beauty
 

Nothing much new here still moved to a new house, so had to tow the girls to the new place.

Didn't get to ride, had to drive the pull rig... oh well.

My son got some cool pics in the mirror, as soon as we get internet at the new place, we'll post them too.
