Hey everyone, what's up. New guy here, just picked up a 66 C20 flatbed. It has the 250ci with a 3 speed on the floor. As of right now plans are the bodyshop, then fixing minor things as I need to. It'll be my driver for now, unless I fix my s10 instead of selling it. So far, I know I need to swap the fuel pump and turn signal switch. Other than that, who knows. Getting all the patchwork done and then turning it to a rat rod look with my business name on the doors. I'm a woodworker by trade so this will work our well for deliveries and picking up materials.

Welcome aboard! Nice truck! Get that 6 banger tuned up and it'll last ya forever.

He's already done a ton of work on it so it should be good to go. Debating on picking up a spare motor to build but we'll see what happens. Best part of the truck, it only cost me a grand!!

lol. It will be for a little while. Winter is on its way and if I don't start the cab work in time I won't be updating until Spring of next year. But I can always do patch work. lol Never to cold for that.

Sounds like me with mine. I'm on the lookout for a replacement cab now. It'll be cheaper than paying a bodyshop to weld in all new panels.

That power book came in the mail yesterday, a ton of good info there. Thanks for the recommendation!

Awesome! I think you got the newer 2nd edition than the one I have....does yours have the engine with the chevy script on the front cover? That's Leo's engine. Great guy.

66 c20 · 10-13-2015, 08:06 PM

It's the 2nd edition. Looking forward to diving into it! Now I need to sell some more stuff so I can order parts. Need to find a cab first though! Any thoughts on that? Got a spare?? Haha

**TJ's Chevy** · 10-13-2015, 09:15 PM

I do! But its probably in just as bad of shape as yours is! lol

66 c20 · 10-13-2015, 10:42 PM

Well that doesn't help me much. Haha
