Looks pretty good for having survived the great white north.

Re: My 65 c20 truck from ALASKA
Welcome to the forum
 Looks like a nice truck overall. I see someone has retrofitted a later model radiator, and moved the engine forward with some home made motor mount brackets. Your truck must have an automatic transmission?

Re: My 65 c20 truck from ALASKA
Captainfab

Re: My 65 c20 truck from ALASKA
then taking the front off to get the 305 v8 out with the turbo 350 out so i can do a frame off rebuilt. whats the best way to get the bumper bolts out? Im having a hard time with it. The 305 had some metal in oil pan when pulled the pan off. it was making bad noise when running. So im going to put a 350 long block crate motor in.
