65' Chevy C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JP_67_GMC · 05-04-2013, 10:29 PM

Hey Everyone! This is my first thread and also my first project. My Grandpa bought this bare bones 1965 Chevrolet C10 BRAND NEW back in the day! He used around our farm in northern Minnesota for everything from hauling cows around to hauling grain, and even going to pick up my dad from the Hospital when he was born. It has a 230 I6, with a 4 speed manual tranny. The pickup was sold to my dad in the 80's who sold it to my uncle for driving Beet truck for him. Then 3 Years ago my uncle sold the pickup to me. The week i got it i got it running and had some fun with it. Since then i have done lots of sheet metal work, and grew my knowledge and passion for cars. And gotten my dad sucked into buying other older cars. The picture below is of it when we went to pick it up.

Thanks for viewing, Enjoy!

Sweet. I see you have 5 generations of trucks. Try out the 60-66 message board with it. You will probably get more feedback. Great back story about you being a third generation owner.

Thanks for the feedback! I still have to take my grandpa out for a drive one day! He hasn't driven it for over 25 years.
thanks!
