Got a 1965 Chevy C10 Short Stepside! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Chance72 · 05-10-2013, 08:45 AM

Well I traded my 1972 for a 1965. My family is saying I down graded but I think I did pretty good. It has power steering and disk brakes all around. It has very little rust, rockers are good, cab corners are good, bottom of doors have small holes. It runs pretty good, 327 with a 350 turbo trans, its real fun. So less rust than the 72, more power than the 72, I got one of the 60s like I wanted, and I can do pretty much all that it needs to it.
Heres a list of parts that he has given me-
* New Factory Carpet
* New Front Fenders
* New Front Grill
* New Digital Radio that is made as the old ones
* New Wire Harness for the whole truck
* New Mirrors
* New Weatherstripping
* New Glove Box Trim
* New Blue Dot Rear Lights
* New Cab Mounting Kit
* New Aluminum Radiator
* New Reupholstered Seat
* New Custom Gauges
And I know it has more, im forgetting what it has because I still gotta get everything out of the truck. The front fenders are dented but the guy gave me some new fenders for it, as listed above, the front grill has some bondo on it but again he gave me a replacement too.
Heres a list of the work it needs-
* Very small rust holes fixed- Which will be later on
* Master Cylinder is leaking so I gotta figure out whats up with that
* Fenders replaced with the new ones
* Radiator replaced with the new ones
* Carpet replaced with the new one
* Radio Installed
* Custom Gauges install
* New Wiring Harness installed
* Cab Mount Hardware installed on drivers front side
* And the rest of the small stuff done
Pretty easy stuff that needs to be done, but I just gotta get the time for it. Work is killing me. But I got a 65! Woohoo!

Oh yea! Over 3000 dollars in parts alone! And Ive only paid about 3000 to get to the 72! I started with 2000 dollars and bought a 63, sold it for 2300, bought a 94 blazer for 2300, then traded for the 72, and now traded that for the 65

That is a very good string of deals! Sounds like you have at least doubled your money

Sounds like you got a great deal. Looking forward to the progress updates.

Lugnutz65 · 05-11-2013, 08:05 AM

Welcome! I have the same truck, but unfortunately, mine didn't come stuffed full of new parts.

Stop by my website and click around. I'm doing a frame off but pretty much stock restoration with a few upgrades.

I'd love to see more pics - things like - ANYTHING!

Now you have to change you avatar.

gofastnut · 05-11-2013, 12:52 PM

Looks like a good deal, I personally think you UP graded! Looking forward to following your progress.

C10-Rat · 05-13-2013, 10:05 PM

Looks like you did really good on the trade,,,bonus on the new parts !!

Chance72 · 05-13-2013, 10:30 PM

Thanks guys! Happy with what I got!

The tailights are awesome in my opinion!

But they are illegal in Texas... I dont think I care if they are or not anyway! Too cool not to use!
