Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
Very neat truck!! Great options and the 327 is very interesting.
The only C30 stepside with air conditioning I have ever seen. |
Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
Does it have a build sheet or dealer paper work?
|
Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
Some very interesting features.
Try to get some pictures of the outer window vertical sweepers or felt. :) |
Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
Geez, what are the odds? Back to back low mile Chevy/ Alaskan camping rigs! Someone is on a lucky streak!
If it were me, I'd still be happily poking around on the first one, so I kinda feel sorry that you have projects piling up on you. Then again, most of us would gladly suffer this kind of misfortune! lol! |

Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
Very nice score. The 327 and the factory A/C, I didn't think were available in a '64. Were those rear fenders shortened at one time? The wheelwell to front of fender doesn't look right to me.

Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
That's awesome. Would love to see some interior pics of the camper! Congrats, that's really nice. Did I miss something - this is the SECOND Alaskan in recent history?? I gotta keep up on things.

Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
Holy crap! That's all I got! Just.... Wow!!! On a side-note, it is great to see another No-Spin truck. Here's the sticker on my '63:

Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
OK , on to the paper work. Heres the dealers customer "Purchase Order" sheet listing everything the customer wanted for this truck.

Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
Heres some details on the engine. I looked in every book I have , nothing is in the books for the engine suffix UC that I could find, the ONLY book listing anything starting with a U is the Big truck parts book , every code except UC. So I starting looking at everything in the way of dates. The purchase order is date 2-24-1964 , so I looked at the engines build date , 3-12-64 on the front pad. Made sense . The Carburetor date and number all showed up as for 327 1964 in the GM parts book. Intake dated C-12-4 or 3-12-1964. Spark plug wires dated etc. GM part numbers on all the fan belts. Pay special attention to the head markings on the front , looks like twin towers , that marking is truck and passenger car 327 according to the book Chevrolet by the numbers.

Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
So Im stumped , what is UC ? Brain storming this AM I emailed a friend who I knew had a LOT of factory Flint documents. Just amazed me when he said , okay , I will get my "Master Suffix Code" book out. Which is actually sheets of paper in files from the Flint engine assembly plant with ALL the codes and what components by part number each engine came with explained by the engines suffix codes etc. UC is heavy duty 327 Truck. It shows the head markings on the papers , WITH "green" written in the middle for engine color.

You need to message aotte1. Me and him were just talking about the 327 being available in a 64 c20. |

That info is off the charts!! |
Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
Ya know just thinking about that invoice, that price was rather steep for the times! Most folks didn't make $4k a year back then. Awesome find and cool documentation!
|
Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
Sweet truck.
|
Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
I was thinking the same thing. What those folks spent for the truck and camper back in '64 was a LOT of money. I hope they got to enjoy it.

Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
What about the inside of the camper? Cool truck!

Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
Fantastic documentation! That was quite the price for the day. They sure went all out when they ordered that.

Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
What an incredible find. Given the mileage, shape of the truck, and all the paper and documentation for both the truck and camper I would say you stepped back 50 years in time and bought a 3 year old vehicle. Were you able to talk to the original owner? And also wondering about a Watson overdrive, have never heard of one before? Not factory but an aftermarket addition?
|
Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
Another incredible find! This one is another time capsule, the way we would have seen it at a camp ground in the 60's. This one is unique. Most camper buyers stayed away from 1 ton 9' bodies. The original owner knew what he wanted and needed before he installed the camper, not the other way around. Chevy made choosing a pickup easier with a custom camper package a year later, but in '64, either you or the salesman had to be knowledgeable to what was necessary to pick the correct truck. He took the time to order the right chassis for the weight involved and all the regular options and special order options ( namely the COPO 327 ). 327 became a regular option on C20's and C 30's in mid '65 year model and on C 10's in '66. The Watson overdrive was a aftermarket item to overcome the low C 30 gearing. IMO, the original owner must have been a pilot, they just love all that instrumentation on the dash. Also, the color is a one year only '64 fawn, much lighter than the one year only '65 fawn. Too bad about the bed modifications, but form follows function on this one.

Any chance you can get the suffix code pages for 1963 and 1965? |

The camper interior looks good! Is that an aftermarket full-width floor mat placed under the regular factory mat in the truck cab?
|
Re: 1964 C30 , Another Alaskan Camper !
Beautiful Historic Time capsule; Congratulations!
So many dated coded details to drool over and discover. That dealership and the owner street address are not too far from where I live. |

Jon,
Another great piece of history, thanks for sharing. Super nice truck in very original condition. Some of the original components are a great find for the history of these trucks, not reported. Thanks again for all the photos, this is another great truck for you. New to me as mentioned to you is a 64' C20 built in Oakland, think it is a later build 64 truck. It also has a 327 in it, still need to do more date code checking, however, the engine suffix is "UC or UG". Photo of pad is below. The engine has many parts that look identical to yours, Will study the 327 more and compare to your photos. The block casting number is 3782870. This 327 has the C 20-30 oil pan. More posting of engine suffix code, if you have them would be very helpful. This C20 is optioned similar to your new to you truck. Les |
