Hey there im new to the whole site. my names keenan and over the summer i bought a 1967 chevy c20 fleetside for 1000. i think i got a good deal considering it has a great running 350(not original). Im doing all the work myself so tell me what you think

Anything that runs is worth that? You have a nice garage/shop to work on it! This place is a great resource for all the questions you will have!!

well rockers are ****ed and the bed is a bit rough but i bought the truck with interest in learning body work and as a learning expericance whole so it will be fun. but no the body isnt to bad at all rust in typical spot(core support, leftside lower front fender, both rockers, driver side cab floor rust, and a large part of the inside bed was covered by a large metal panel but thats fine with me i dont want a mint condition truck i cant drive cuz of its value. I just wanted something to be different than all the kids with hondas and that wont get crunched after a fender bender

Make sure to keep it driveable if you can during your restoration so that you can drive it and enjoy it. If it sits taken apart for too long, you might lose interest as often happens with projects like these.
