mater the 2nd
It's about time I share my driveway project 65 c 20. I found this thing in a salvage yard in bowie tx initially I just bought some parts off it. A few weeks pass and I couldn't quite think about the truck,so I went back a struck a deal with the yard owner and traded off one of my later model stalled out project trucks. It had most of the original parts other than the seat,side glass, motor mount stool,carb and radiator.I spent a few hours on it and got the old 292 up and running no thanks to the previous owner who hacked all the wiring harness out. The previous owner also put some crapy bucket seats and painted the passenger side of the bed rattle can black. I bought a matching patina bed side and swapped it out,also a stock seat out of my 66,latter 1piece 16 in wheels with tires that held air.

Re: mater the 2nd
A guy at work traded me a t 56 six speed, found a 71c20 for the disc brake setup and rear axial going to need the double overdrive with the 4:56 gears.
Have Ben tinkering with building a wiring harness. Just kind of a slow build on the side.

Re: mater the 2nd
Love the prodject. Favorite patina look is that old teal or Neptune green that's all faded and rusty

Re: mater the 2nd
Thanks everyone for the feedback. Changed the oil it was well deserved who knows how long it has been since its last one , the last time it was registered was in the year I was born 1989.installed a new water pump and radiator hoses wired in a internal regulated alternator.I installed my new found passenger side motor mount stool thanks to mattbert56!

Re: mater the 2nd
It's not without flaws it has rust in the floor and roof .going to have to take the windshield out and roof cap off to try and save the cab or look for a cab that matches. But I am pretty confident I can fix it not my first rodeo.

Re: mater the 2nd
Don't know it's been on the truck for at least 25 years was the only tire that held air when I bought it. But I'm the one that mounted it to the bedside. I do really like the appearance of it though.

Re: mater the 2nd
That's one of the reasons why I liked the truck so much.
