65 Old School Build on a Budget
Well, Just want to start off by thanking Alan's Classics for sending me to this AWESOME forum. It was great to meet both Alan's Classics and Sdailey (Thanks for the trade) helping me get started. Many nights have been consumed with reading thread after thread, getting me more and more excited with all the inspiration and cool trucks..
Since I have read all your threads I thought I would start one myself. I have to apologize a head of time for I am both a computer and restoration novice. My gaol when purchasing my 1965 C-10 a few weeks back was to get it running, then stoipping .. then on to the road and drive it everywhere and fix what broke along the way (budget budget budget)... Dream for the spring is a earth shaking motor to make up for what I lack in Bodywork... Hope the pictures work, if not I'll keep giving it a go. picture one is the truck sitting in the previous owner back yard, 2.. the day it came home, 3.. one week later...

Re: 65 Old School Build on a Budget
Well, seemed to work.......... Up to date as of today...
All lights and minor detailed worked out and am driving 3-4 times a week... To do list growing! Thanks to Alan's Classics, gave me a set of 4x4 ralleys. Thanks.. Painted and installed some new Radial TA 255 70r 15, rides 100% better than the bald ones.. Next thing to work out are replace the collapsed springs, thinking 2" up front and 4" in the rear? Don't want it to low, just a little meaner looking. Replace upper and lower control are bushings, and address the left front brake doing all the work... |

Re: 65 Old School Build on a Budget
What kind of wheels are those in the 3rd pic you posted with the caps? I'm in the works of buying a '65 fleetside too and like the look.

Re: 65 Old School Build on a Budget
O/S/K.....if you can fire up that Camino and check the brakes, I would steal the booster and ms/cyl in a second. Put it in your truck and plumb it. If the parts go bad use them as core for new, and you know what they came out of also. ( You know how the parts guys are......bench or bucket seat? Cig lighter and 8-track? 4wd?)

Re: 65 Old School Build on a Budget
Actually its rolled Rustoleum flat black, Yes rolled with a foam brush... Tried the flat black rattle and just wasn't doing it for me. Rolled oil based Flat, gives it a good sheen, from the picture the driver side door had some roller marks but I have since redone the door and am very happy with it. (For now! good 25 dollar fix)
94TX those are actually just hub caps off a bare bones S-10 or Astro van that my buddy had laying around on 7 inch steel wheels (I think)

Re: 65 Old School Build on a Budget
Welcome to the board from middle,TN.
Nice start...the hubcaps looked good on there... the roller job looks good too! When spring rolls around, I might have to do the same. |

Re: 65 Old School Build on a Budget
Great looking truck, and awesome progress! I'm you Marietta neighbor, and I drive my 64 C10 just about every day (I use it for a daily driver to keep miles off my newer vehicles) so give me a wave if you see me driving this...
