Happy to make your aquaintance. New from the 5-1-2. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello everyone. I am really happy to be a registered member of this site. I have read many threads here over the last few years and it inspires me to keep working on my 1973 Chevy Custom Deluxe 20 --3/4 ton. This is a very cool website! I always look forward to seeing new photos posted of their Chevy trucks.

I come from a Chevy truck family. My dad always drove a Chevy truck when I was a boy and he still does. I now have a '73 just like my Dad had when I was a boy. I bought it from a super nice guy named Ron who I worked for in southern California. When I decided to move back from CA to Texas I loaded up my '73 and drove it back here to Austin. I have been fixing it up a little at a time over the last couple years or so including bodywork and eventually I will paint it.

I sell Volvos for a living but working on my '73 Chevy C20 is one of my favorite things to do on my off time.

Thanks for the all the kind greetings!

Here is a photo of what it looks like now after hours and hours of sanding and bondo and primer. And I still have lots more work to go.

Excellent! Is that the factory color?

Don't let anyone but me talk you out of those wheels either!!

Ha ha! No it's a color called Rescue Green Metallic that came out on Jeeps two years ago I think. I kept seeing it on Jeeps on the road and thought it would keep the vibe of the original Lime Green on my truck. I think it works.
