Well. Got the old truck running u der her own power again. Took the 600 off and found a old
Rochester 2 jet. Fresh tun up and it loves the lack of CFM hah. Feels good driving it again. Plus helps with moving having 2 trucks and all. Picture was befor I rebuilt it. It's now not mounted backwards hah was able to use the old cheesy cable linkage just had to shorten it a skosh. Wish I could fabricate a mechanical linkage. One day I'll get after it. |

Got some new meats on the truck. And some 16s I've been saving for a while. New dizzy and actually got the 292 timed correctly. Just need to tune the 600 edelbrock for elevation. Should be a peach. It's funny how old vehicles keep ya excited when you only work on them semi annually

Been using the truck around the property this summer quite a bit. Finally put on a steering wheel from a 65 I belive. I got 10 years back or so for the truck from a buddy. Only took me 10 years and 30 minutes to install it finally. Thought the pickup was lookin good so took some photos.

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.
The truck is definitely looking good...thanks for the pictures.

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

Putting the poor thing to work this week. Firewood time. Had a few pines come down in a wind storm last year,thought it was time to remove em. Also scooped up a 90s slide in. Fits my diesel and the 65. Like the look of a classic with a slide in. Hope the holidays has been good for many with projects in the garage like I have looming over me. Hah
