1965 C20 finally resurrected!

1 Attachment(s)

New to the forum...

I just bought this bad boy 3 weeks ago and tonight, finally got it started tonight. Seized engine from sitting in a Texas field for 5 years...new battery, starter, fuel pump and hoses = back to life. Seriously pumped! It was pumping white smoke, but I think it was from the Marvel Oil I pumped in the cylinders. More to come! :metal:

DP, Great looking truck. Can I ask how much it cost to rebuild your 283? I have the same and I like it...just don't know if I want rebuild it or buy a 350...

Previous owner painted it brown with stripe. It was originally light blue. I am probably going to run with a hot rod black or a dark grey.

I definitely want to lower it 4/6. I also want to convert from 3/4 ton suspension to 1/2 ton. There is barely any wheel selections for 8 lug. I would love to get some chrome reverse wheels with white walls! Any feedback, thoughts are appreciated.
