The 1960 - 1966 Member Introductions

[MikeS.]

Hi MikeS. here, I've owned 5 or 6 of these Chevy trucks over the past 40 years. From short steppers to BBW LB fleetsides. My 1st 41 years were in Fresno, Calif where there were a ton of these available. When I moved to WV in 1998 I sold my 66 BBW LB, didn't think I could tow it all the way cross country. Stupid me. The truck needed a lot of work, but...

So today I agreed to buy a "63" 4x4 Burb. It has a 63 body, frame from a late 70s 4x4 and a 454 from an 87 burb. I call it a FrankenBurb. I should have it in my possession next week.

Thanks -Cuss in Custom!

I just hauled a '63 shortbox back from California. This truck supposedly has been sitting on the back lot at a Chevron oil field for the last 34 years. The paint scheme is a little odd, and from what I can tell by pulling the skin off it looks to be factory painted Chevron Colors. The 6 cylinder is locked up solid, but I have a donor vehicle parked next to it ready for some parts swapping.
The short time i've been on this site has proven to be well worth the hours of reading, I look forward to learning and talking to all of you as my project moves forward.

What an incredible find. Was there any rust in it? Seems to have been sitting in a desert environment.

[62 bigwindow]

Hey Guys, after going thru approx. 20 plus years of motorcycle drag racing, to custom sport bikes to building Harleys I have found a new addiction..the 60-66 C-10
I am 41 years old and married to a wonderful woman that understands this new addiction. It started with a 62 bigwindow( thus the name) to now a 66 short/fleet big window. I have found ,which most of you guys already know, Nate Porter to be a great stand up guy with loads of info and in my case the understanding to deal with all my questions regardless of how many I throw at him. And cant wait for my parts to arrive so I can continue working...I havent posted much but enjoy reading all the stories and info you guys share on here. Look forward to sharing my build when I get a lil farther along......

My name is Shawn. I live in the wet state of Oregon. I am new to the old Chevy trucks. I am used to rigs with big tires. I am in the process of liquidating other toys so I can focus on my new obsession :-D. I just bought a 1966 Chevy C20 Long Bed Fleetside. It has a fresh mildly built 350 butted up to the stock 4 speed. The truck is in fairly decent condition.

I have been reading and reading tons of posts and following along with all the projects. I am finding that I am no closer to knowing what I want to do with this truck because my mind is in sensory overload. LOL I am finding that I am somewhat limited due to the truck being a C20. But I am slowly finding alternatives and ways to get where I want to go with it.

My plan and hope at this point is to do a power steering/disc brakes conversion and bag it one day. Ask me next week and I am sure my vision will change

Damian here. I have been lurking for a while but finally picked up a 62 a couple months back. I have used so many different posts from this site I couldn't possibly count them. I am only 38 but have been married for 18 years to the love of my life and have two great kids. I am the VP of the Reapers car club based in Speedway Indiana. We are just starting out as a club and always looking for prospective members, wouldn't mind having a few more 60-66 jewels in the club
