Jay's 66 C-20

I'm new to the board, but have been lurking for a while. Yall have lots of good information here which really helped me decide what truck I wanted to get ahold of.

Found this 66 C-20 in pretty good shape; numbers matching on the driveline. Only major modification is the paint; a PO decided to paint over the ivory with a red.



I'm slowly modifying/restoring the truck; it runs good right now, so no major overhaul planned in the near future.

Re: Jay's 66 C-20

Nice truck. Did you find any rust?

Looking at your Photobucket photos did you spray your valve cover and then sand off the Chevrolet or was that tape?

Re: Jay's 66 C-20

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I'm sure Ill wear it out pretty quickly with a load of newbie questions.

I'm taking the project slowly, but thoroughly. Anything that comes off of the truck will only be put back together when it is perfect.

There is not too much; lots of little spots, but nothing too major. The passenger side rocker panel is painted rust, but thats the only major part that has serious rust concerns.

I'll have to brag on my valve covers. My original plan was to paint the entire thing then sand the "Chevrolet" off. It was suggested (half jokingly) that I put some grease on the logo to keep the paint from 'sticking to it.' Somehow, chapstick popped into my mind. It worked beautifully . It spread wonderfully across the metal, and all of the wax and paint wiped off easily.

The tape was me being anal retentive trying to fix a little spot. The tape made it worse.
