Bought a new truck!
Scored this clean baby for a cool $1500
Its a 1974 Chevy C20 Custom. No options less a heater, lol! Body is real good, and it's 350 runs very well, smokes a bit though... The CM465 has messed up syncros, its tough to get it into second and third. Everything that it does have works well, and doesn't seem to badly hacked up. It was orignally a green color and was repainted, but whoever painted it did a very poor prep job, so the paint is peeling off all over the place. No rot in the bed, or passenger's side fender, driver's side fender has a big dent and some nasty rot in it, along with the cab corner on the driver's side. Has a brand new dual exhaust setup with heads, extremely aggressive exhaust note... The truck also came with a box load of new parts -- Fenders, valence, front clip trim, new grill etc I plan to use the best parts from the two trucks to make one nice one, and one not so nice one, I'll then practice my bondo / expanding foam skills on it after cutting all the rot out and stopping the cancer, I'll then epoxy prime the whole thing in hopes that it doesn't break out with cancer again while giving it a paint job to practice painting a truck, then sell it, and start working on the nice truck's body PS -- The grill for my 80 is sitting in the shop, I've been working on the electric fans mounted in there
