New Member from CT ('68 C20)

On a knee-jerk purchase last week, I picked up a '68 C20 for what I think was a good deal.

The body is extremely clean with only very very minor bubbling on the cab just behind the jamb on the drivers side and on the front lip of the hood.

Other than that, she's rust free.

The frame is in great shape with no scaling and a fresh coat of what looks like a POR15 or some similar chassis paint.

The motor looks to be a fresh build and purrs like no other V8 I've ever owned.

Brand new dual exhaust from the manifolds back.

Here's where the project aspect of it comes in though: The interior is shot and the electrical is even worse. None of the lights work other than the taillights. The indicator switch on the column is suspect... Not even sure it would work even if the wiring was good. ...and the brakes are terrible.

As of this morning, she got doused in a fresh coat of snow. Hopefully I'll clear some room in the garage for it in the next week or so though, so I can get some work done on it and not see it sit outside all winter.
