I don't believe so. I think the turn signal interrupts the running lights so it flashes on and off.
I'm back: 1966 Chevy C30 Update
- Thread starter Ghost Magnum
- Start date
I can't even remember the '64 Goat. I do remember the '67 a neighbor had a fast one. Did I mention fast?
As fast as some of the muscle cars of our youth were, they couldn't hold a candle to what's available now. One version of the Hellcat required a NHRA driver cert to be driven on the track!
Neighbor had a dark blue '66. Gorgeous car. If I ever get rich...
And the top Corvette can hit over 230 mph. However, in the 60s, a working class man could buy a hot car. That is no longer the case for the fastest production cars.
A customer was asking a Corvette dealer, "Just where am I going to drive 200 MPH?" The reply was, "In this car, down any side street."

I have a 2003 Mustang Mach 1 that I try to take care of myself . I only put less than 1000 miles a year on it , so it's not wear items . Mostly it's things that just age out . I've found my friend is You Tube , I've yet to look for something and not find it . I have a hand tuner that also will read trouble codes , so I don't have to pay to have them read . My last one was the low speed idle sensor , so I went to You Tube and found out where it was and it even told me what size socket I'd need . At the end of the video there was a link as to where to buy it , Amazon of course , and how much . So for less than $20 I got the part and the knowledge of how to r&r it . I don't even want to know what a shop would have charged . So here's to all of us shade tree mechanics ..........
We used to have to diagnose things ourselves, use an actual book, get a ride to the parts store and have a huge toolset, just in case you needed something unusual. As much as the cars have gotten harder to work on due to technology, tech is also making it easy on the monkey with the wrench. Now you can come in the house and tell your spouse, "Car is broken. I'm gonna figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. Then I'm gonna order some parts shipped out. Oh, and a 6 pack of 10mm sockets. Should be here in the morning."
I had a '66 C10 with the 283 and a three-on-the-tree transmission. My dad had a '62 C50 with the 261 six cylinder and a 4 speed with a granny 1st.
What engine does your C30 have?

My now long defunct marriage lowered the boom on my rolling stock since the day I said, "I do I GUESS". Until that fateful day I always owned Corvettes. After that day my "family" car was a well used Volkswagen beetle. The Volks was a rag top for my new bride and I picked up a second vehicle for myseff, a 6 cyl stick shift '64 Chevy half ton. When I took it in for the inspection I was told I won't pass because it has about 5 good size rust holes in floor board you can see the street through. So I bought a couple feet of sheet metal and screws and sprayed the whole truck Rustoleum brown primer using an airless sprayer. I bet that truck is still motoring on to this day, the Volks was a pile of German feces.

If you lived in Amarillo, TX that might have been me, ha. Fastest car I ever had.
Nope. Prineville, OR. But I dreamed about living somewhere like Amarillo, just in the 1880s.

I can’t believe someone revived this thread. This happened to my truck after I made the thread. I think I posted pictures of the truck before but had them removed. The accident wasn’t my fault. I met the guy who was behind me when the accident happened. He gave me pictures of my truck upside down with me laying next to it. He said I crawled out of the truck. But I don’t remember. He also filmed the scene too. You can hear my electric fuel pump running.
