Saying hello from Washington State
 

Hello everyone, I am a total newbie checking in, who has wanted a 60's Chevy truck since I was a little kid. Well with the wife's approval, I finally pulled the trigger on a 66 C20. I feel that I am probably in over my head, but that is the fun of learning new skills huh? Any other folks out there, that are from Washington? I looked for truck clubs but didn't find any around here. Hope you all are well, and are enjoying your trucks as much as I hope to enjoy mine.

Welcome from Michigan.

Hello and welcome! I'm not from Washington, but a couple of my trucks are! Seems to be a hotbed of sorts up there for finding survivor type pickups. Yours looks good in the one pic, but you should be aware that we are all photo junkies here. More pics!

Howdy from downtown Oregon! LOL! Nice looking truck! I also own a C-20! And yes...restoring these is one heck of an awesome journey! :chevy:

Re: Saying hello from Washington State
 

Thanks for the welcome, I will try and get some more pics on here soon. Just got it tuned up, and drivable. I am pretty excited with what I have to start with, all lights and gages work. Engine and tranny work and shift well. It has some rust issues, but fixing it will have to wait a while til I get some "play" money again. I am just happy to drive it, and my little girls are loving Daddie's "new" truck :)

Welcome from Renton, looks like you got a good truck to start with.

Hi Tj, I was born and raised in Eugene. Oregon still feels like home for me, and I try to get back whenever possible. I look forward to the journey, but damn I wish I had taken advantage of a lot of classes I had available in High School, I feel so unprepared.

Thanks Mathew, I appreciate it!

Re: Saying hello from Washington State
 

Thanks Mike, I think I did alright, I sat on the money for quite a while, lots of looks at Craigslist, and quite a lot of test drives, or tire kicking, until the right one came along. I guess it is mine now, so I have to love it ;)

Hi guys thanks again for the welcomes! I still haven't taken my own pics yet, but here are the ones from the CL add that I bought it from. So much I want to do, but not sure where to start.

Re: Saying hello from Washington State
 

Yet one more, the back view

Re: Saying hello from Washington State
 

I would suggest making a list of what you want to do and then pick 1 or 2 that can be done easily in a weekend. And continue that until you run out of smaller projects. It helps with the motivation if you keep the truck driveable for the most part. If you get your truck tore down with a big project it is easy to get discouraged. The big projects are usually inevitable, but I wouldn't tackle one so soon.

Re: Saying hello from Washington State
 

Yup that was me who was there when he called lol!

Re: Saying hello from Washington State
 

Welcome from Olympia, WA.

Here is my '62 SWB C10.

It's a lifetime California truck that I bought off a Redding, California Craigslist ad and had trucked up here.

I'm putting a new crate 350 in it right now because the original 283 was getting pretty tired.

I'm keeping anything and everything that belongs on the truck to save its future collectability.
