Welcome to the board!,Happy 50th Birthday!,and that's one sharp C/20!!

I'm interested in how the previous owner worked out mounting those hubcaps. Very innovative idea!

Very clean and a beauty to look at, your family did good oh and i guess Happy Birthday,

71sierragrande · 07-14-2014, 02:05 PM

Happy birthday and welcome to the asylum. Got a beautiful truck there, a smart buyer picked that one out. I had my 48th last wednesday, apparently there aren't any smart buyers in my family, I got socks again. You just got one of the untouchables, just admire and drive.

Geez, I get a card and maybe some new socks from my wife and kids on my B-day. Where did I go wrong?

Stranny64 · 07-14-2014, 04:27 PM

Thanks Everyone!!! Oh, the hubcaps have some tabs welded on the wheels to make them stay on. They are coming off soon and the wheels and tires will be for sale. And yes, usually it's socks or a shirt I'll never wear. I lucked out this year.

dads longhorn · 07-14-2014, 05:49 PM

Your wife gave that to you! Pretty cool. She must be some one very special, you're a lucky man

Tinkermc · 07-14-2014, 07:08 PM

Heck I would be happy going back to a fifty b-day, you really got 1 heck of a gift.

toms68cst · 07-14-2014, 10:41 PM

Welcome from a fellow '68 freak!

**special-K** · 07-15-2014, 09:42 AM

Here's all I got:

Welcome to the site and a belated Happy Birthday. That is a very nice 50th B-Day present. All I got was another year older and 50 more gray hairs.

MercRising · 07-15-2014, 04:51 PM

Awesome gift, good luck with it.

bill3rail · 07-15-2014, 06:01 PM

I received a huge bag of 50th gag gifts, and about 200 pounds of donations to a local food pantry!
No truck received!

Enjoy,

Justintime67 · 07-15-2014, 08:52 PM

Welcome to the crew and great looking truck!!

Sweet Ride I Got this one for My 52nd

katydude2000 · 07-18-2014, 05:53 PM

Paint the rims white....dog dish style hubcaps with Chevrolet lettering on it....big arm mirrors and a year-correct camper.

I like where it is at now....if you use it as a straight up pickup....keep the patina. Otherwise, there are a few threads on here from gold paint projects(like your color)....most keep the patina.

My 2 cents.....LOL

68Gold/white · 07-18-2014, 07:27 PM

Very nice!!!
I like it just the way it is. Front disc brakes would make it better though..
