Re: 1965 1/2 C10 Pickup
You hit on something here. The lifters are rollers. I am not up with roller cam so i was calling it that. Am i wrong? Can you have roller lifters and it not be a roller cam setup? If this is the case i apologize. This is still not normal as i ordered a regular 327 not a L79 that i got.

Re: 1965 1/2 C10 Pickup
No argument there. Vin says 1966. Just saying that i was driving it in 1965. Around here the used the term 1965 1/2.

Re: 1965 1/2 C10 Pickup
I'm not sure where the picture you posted of the information on SPID stuff came from but I've got a pile of about a dozen 67-72 glove boxes with the SPID on all of them for the pickup it came off of. Has all the options etc. and this one on my 74. No stirring things up just saying it was happening long before 1984.

Re: 1965 1/2 C10 Pickup
My dad used to be a Parts Manager at our local Farm Implement store.
I never worked in a parts store. Sometimes it irritates me when I go into to get parts for my 65 stepside but I have to say it's a 74 because some of my parts on my truck are from a 74. But then they ask me if it's an Automatic or Standard. Then they want to know all kinds of other stuff. I say just give me such and such part for a 79 Chevy, but they can't because they have to enter all that info to insure I get the correct part.

Re: 1965 1/2 C10 Pickup
Thanks for the reply Salty. I believe the SPID info you posted is valid - as in, by 1984 "all" GM vehicles had one. But Chevy trucks started having them in 66 - perhaps all GM cars and what not didn't have them until 84, not sure, but the wording of what you posted matters and it doesn't appear to be specific to trucks. As if the dead horse hasn't been beaten enough, driving it in 65 doesn't make it not a 66. New model year always starts in the previous fall of the model year even today. If 65 1/2 was a local term your area used, no worries. But it is not like a 70 1/2 Camaro, which was actually a mid-production year thing because of the strike, it is in reality a 66 truck. As for your SPID, folks with earlier 66 serial #'s in their VIN have shared SPIDs, so either yours got removed somehow or the factory missed one. But it should have been there even if it's gone now.
Is THIS pic what you mean when you say you saw roller lifters? If yes, you had a roller cam. If the engine has never been apart, I'm at a loss to explain how it ever got in there.... I too would like to see some more pictures. Despite all the drama, I'm a big fan of this truck, very cool ride. Last edited by jocko; 09-19-2017 at 02:14 PM. |

Re: 1965 1/2 C10 Pickup
I will pay $500.00 for a used 1965 Factory roller lifter out of his Original 327.
That should make it worth the OP's time to get one from his mystery engine builder and will put this whole episode to bed. |

Re: 1965 1/2 C10 Pickup
My roller rockers look like this except the bars are on the top of the lifters as opposed to the side as in the picture. All i am saying about the SPID is that my truck did not have one. You are also correct about it being a 66 but we called them 65 1/2 which may be incorrect. I am at a loss as to how the roller cam got there and that is why i entered this forum. Looks like i will never get an answer but appreciate all the good people trying to help.

The L79 Factory engine was never a roller cam engine. It never existed from the factory, so it could never be installed at the factory.

Re: 1965 1/2 C10 Pickup
If it didn't come that way from the factory, maybe once the truck arrived at the dealership he worked for, they added the roller cam?

Re: 1965 1/2 C10 Pickup
Not likely since the type of lifters needed for a roller cam setup were not available, the GM blocks 20 some years latter had to have the lifter bores some .250" taller to fit the lifters properly. Also the cross bar that he says is on his lifters - They are way after market. GM's didn't have the cross bar on the top of the lifters once they came out many years after this truck was built.

if your lifters had bars on them, they are aftermarket retrofit roller lifters
