Re: project chevy pickup-69 in sweden...
Welcome to the truck board....
Your 1969 C-20 looks like it has had a pretty hard life, but I'm sure it can be resurrected. There are probably not many of them in Sweden so you would certainly have a unique vehicle... The inside of your engine actually looks pretty clean. If it is not stuck, I'm betting after installing the parts it needs it will start and run. Good luck with your project. LockDoc

Re: project chevy pickup-69 in sweden...
The story:
purchased unseen on swedish ebay(blocket.se) Pocket home using a buddy. The time is over when you go country o kingdom around to check on cars! Make a call and drinking a cup of tea instead. Just waiting to be trailered home to me! Chevy engine 350 tranny TH350 eight bolted 2wd 8fotare last time i was on the road was in -84 there are repairs here and there, it seems like some time been productive and started to weld up cab torpedo, thresholds etc., but get tired. :? the doors are cut as well as the cab corners! Missing parts ..... The worst is all filler (bondo???) ... Someone has gone and bought up the entire stock of PP100 ... wooden base of the bed is rutten ..... did not even have to use tools .... The frame is painted and nice, feels good ... going to fix her up and use as a daily driver summertime!

Bloodwheel,
If I was still flying thru Europe twice monthly for work, I would swing by and help see if it would crank! Nice project |

Re: project chevy pickup-69 in sweden...
Do you know if it was originally built for export or was it built for the US market and made its way to europe over the years?

Re: project chevy pickup-69 in sweden...

i do know that it came with a manuell tranny and most likely not with a v8.. |

Re: project chevy pickup-69 in sweden...
Subscribed, I can't wait to see how she turns out. Are you going to keep her mostly stock looking?
