Got a new one today
Well My Buddy Steve did... He got me started with my 70.
He has a 70 c20 and a 71 c10 we came across this 65 c10 today at the swap meet and I could not let him pass it up, he has been talking about a truck like this 65 for 2 years... It's a Texas truck with no rust... I mean NO RUST... the dang rubber is even good... All It needs is a new wood bed floor, but I can make one of those and it has all the original bed strips and they are in perfect shape as well... I know its not a 67-72 but I thought I would share... As soon as we got it home we hit it with some CLR and starting putting some oil/wax protective finish on it before it got to dark... its a 250/ 3 on the tree. he is giving the 71 to his son to make room in the drive. Ok here are the pics! Life is good. Last edited by Mr Handy; 10-05-2014 at 09:37 PM. |

That would be so cool. If not I'll come up and see it soon. He got the PoP to. That is very cool. Can't wait!

Re: Got a new one today
Man, what a great find! Looks like it cleaned up really nice too! (And how are some of you guys getting so lucky in finding these trucks with the original hubcaps still on them?! )
