I was referencing my '65-'66 parts book today - trying to confirm what I was confident I knew. I was making sure that the brake hardware (at the wheels) was pretty much the same as for earlier cars. And that proved true, but with one head-scratching exception. That exception is the identification of what's referred to as a "Model S"
There's parts listed, clearly enough, for 65S-66S and 65V-66V. And then there's heavy duty parts listed for Model S applications. Leafing thru the other sections of the book, the only other place I see a Model S mentioned is in the transmission groups. But the notes pages of each section as well as the "Model Identification" page at the front of the book - lend no clues as to the "Model S" moniker. Maybe it's just what they called the fleet cars during those years. A point I never heard of or noted firsthand since I've never encountered one along the way.
SO - Craig? Anyone? Wanna expound on the definition of the ChevyBaker Model S cars???
BTW, there's no mention of a Model S in earlier parts books - that is, of course, unless you count the 52 & earlier body tag designator for a convertible.[}
