My wife handed me an envelope of money saying, "Here, I got it started, now you can't keep putting it off, make the beast live a new."

Just ordered my first batch of steel cab parts and am Craigslisting for a welder this whole week.

Btw, I LOVE my wife! haha!

That's amazing man. She's a keeper!
Hope to see some updates of that truck!
And thank you for your service. :)

Mine were in pretty bad shape so I cut away most of the panels, retaining the portion above the tires so I could keep the factory hood hinges and springs. My engine compartment doesn’t really get much dirtier than it did before, most of the dirt and splatter ending up directly behind the tires. A quick trip to the coin operated car wash cleans it right up.

In the spring I’ll try and remember to take a before picture showing how dirty it got over the winter before I hose it off. Post #129 on the following thread shows how much of the panels were removed:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...vyTruckOnl.jpgI did most of the work on this in the late 1980's. Those mirrors were popular then. I'm not excited about replacing them with OEM mirrors so I'm looking for suggestions. I want to go with a 60's custom style for the truck when I make updates next year. The truck has been garaged since 1991. I'll have the time and money to get it back on the road next year, God willing.

Does anyone reproduce stainless windshield trim for 60-63 trucks?

Any opinion on bumper guards for my truck?

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...uckDashOnl.jpgThe billet dash and steering wheel will be replaced. I'd love to get one of those 1960's Chrysler Imperial square-type steering wheels but they're expensive.

Newbie here, been reading the site for quite awhile, I thought I would finally join in to the fun.

Here's my 66 c20 that I bought a year ago, fresh out of the barn, been sitting since 1980.

I'm going custom with some of it and updating it a bit as well for look and drivability.

I've got alot of work done so far and much more to come, if someone could direct me, I would like to start a build thread.

To start a new build thread just go to this link, and at the top (under the header information) or bottom on the left side click the “New Thread” button. Welcome to the forum, that’s a nice clean looking truck you’ve got.

Over the weekend "Glendale" and I headed to to Reno Nevada to do some gambling at the casinos, on the way back we spotted this C-20 that was waiting for some snow:
