    1966 c20

     



    I recently picked up a 1966 c20. It's rough, but I'm not planning on it ever being beautiful. A couple questions for anyone that may know

    Is there any way to get the ignition switch apart without the key, the truck came without one.

    It currently has a straight six, from a 70s truck, and there's no crank bolt to turn it over, any ideas?

    Brad, welcome to CHR! You might have to drill the ignition switch tumbler to get it out since you don't have a key or call a lock smith. Can you get to the flywheel on the straight 6? You can turn the engine over with a pry bar, or use the starter and hook a battery up to it and apply power to the solenoid to bump the engine over.

    Thanks for the ideas.

    The starter on it was locked up, and I'm not sure if I want to buy one for a motor I have no interest in. I'm rebuilding a 454 to replace it with.
    I just got to the flywheel and it's not turning easy, or at all.

    I'm not certain the clutch isn't stuck in some form as the truck is super hard to move. Haven't checked the brakes either.they don't work, but I bet at least one is dragging.
