cb1965 · 10-15-2011, 10:10 PM

thanks guys. plans as of now are just to drive, drive ,drive and drive it some more.. while i work on my '65 c20. from what it looks the fenders,grille, and bumpers are repops. wiring is a bit of a mess under the dash but everything works. i picked it up this morning in Livermore, a 30-35 min drive.

Slick! Your post got me wondering where mine was built. I had always thought it was Fremont too. Now I can't find it on any decoder. So much for a relaxing night! Good score on you truck though. I'd drive the wheels off it!
