Where are the stockers?
 

With all the bagged/draggers out there...I would like to see some stockers. Here a few of mine. The factory stance and vintage lines are timeless...imo.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

my 65 is a stocker, almost original unrestored, except for the front fenders. the only custom stuff on it are the big truck grille, those goofy mirrirs, which work too good to take off, and a reupolstered front seat I stuck in to replace the worn out original.. has 900 miles on it, so I am betting 100k, maybe 200k.
original 283 4spd.
I love using it like a truck, and as a truck!

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

whats that grill off of?

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

one of these: (you have to change the mount bracket over to c10)

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

I have seen that same grille from a 50-80 Series truck, but they CHEVROLET letters were inside the top & bottom bars. I like it both ways and thanks for posting.

Other than maybe a set of late model wheels, I keep my pretty much factory.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

aw, come on tony....
you should slam one of those
all stock and lowered would look so sweet!!!

Negative Ghost Rider...pattern is full.

I will leave that to the others and I will stick with the mundane stocker look, fit and finish. Not to mention, I don't know the first thing about the process, so I will stick with what I know.

.....first you light the torch.....

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

I don't utilize one of those monsters unless I am removing someone else's hack job. I am amazed at some of the stuff I see on the 4-5-6 Chevy trucks I have acquired over the years.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

That's a dandy looking rig...I dig it. Nice job.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

Thanks for the kind words.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

:lol:
not at all mundane
i'm sure there are some board members in Kansas or Missouri that would be glad to "school" you on the finer points
once you get low, there is no going back, it is a sickness:devil:

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

:waah:

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

Tony, I really like the K10 stock look, like the one you built with your buddy Lee.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

Here's mine. I have been doing a lot of work, but I'm certainly not a good enough body man! However, in the pic is how the truck looked when I got it from my dad, and he got from my grandpa. I'm hoping to return it to Saddle fawn metallic and white top. I kept the original 250 and rebuilt it. It is painted the factory ugly green, but it is original.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

you guys kept that in nice shape!

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

Here is my 64'. It was mostly stock except for the aftermarket steel wagon wheels and the add-on mirror. I drove it home with the 5 gallon race can and all the crap in the back!

I have since dropped a 350 v-8, auto 4 speed. Moved the engine back 10". z'd the front 4" and the back 10". Bagging it and redoing the floor. I do plan to keep the stock blue paint though!

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

Well, I think it looks better than it really is. The doors still need some body work ,the bedsides have been a bear, and I REALLY need new rockers and cab supports. I don't know enough about welding or sheetmetal work to tackle that, so it is in my garage right now with the bed off. I'm hoping to win the lotto some day and then pay someone to do the rockers and supports.:waah:

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

It started out looking like this under the hood.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

and has made it to this so far

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

Here is a picture of the '66 K10 Lee and I finished a few months ago. The second photo is my '66 K10. They almost look like twin brothers.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

TR65:

That is a fine looking truck you have and thanks for the thumbs up on Lee's K10.

My cure for that illness is called "resale value"!

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

:lol:Ha ha ha, so true!:lol:

I really like the 4wd trucks, someday I will restore something to stock, I'm just not ready to do it yet. I'm going to wait until my knees give and I can't step down into a truck anymore.:metal:

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

that is one way of looking at it,
i don't look at it that way, when i'm putting my blood sweat and tears into something, i'm not thinking what i will be able to get out of it.
adding dropped coils or spindles doesn't alter the vehicle, you can always go back to stock. completely bolt on.
that is like saying you adding later model wheels ruins the truck. Attachment 402575

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

I pulled these shots somewhere off this board...
man this is a clean truck!

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

All stock, except 2" drop...

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

And this is exactly what I would like o have ..as is.
this was in the for sale section off the hamb last year, lasted abuot 4 hours and some one snapped it up.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

Mine's pretty much stock. Stock height, and engine, with 700r4 tranny.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

good looking rigs!

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

I remember seeing that. What a sweet ride!!

Re: Where are the stockers?

Nice, Nice, Nice, enough said.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

Tony, I look at photos of your trucks to see if I have everything right on mine! Is one of yours by chance on ebay? I saw a red one that is near Kansas City listed the other night. I swore I took two of the globe shaped horns off mine when I tore it down, but didn't have a photo of the mounting for the second. I can now say after seeing the photos on ebay that I was right (even though many told me it wasn't so). I now know where that second horn mounts!!

Keep the photos coming guys!

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

Thanks, but I can't take a lot of credit. I bought it like this in 1994, and other than some mechanical upgrades, I just left it alone. I have put over 60,000 miles on it since I bought it.

Re: Where are the stockers?
 

I really like that black one up there!

Mine's pretty stock. Everybody's seen it a jillion times on here.
