Re: 1965 C20 Rebuild

Here's a pic of the engine compartment and interior.

The radiator was missing from it. The guy I bought it from was the grandson of the original owner. He said that his granddad had pulled the radiator and taken it to the shop to get repaired. His graddad died before picking up the part and getting it running again, then it sat for several decades.

Re: 1965 C20 Rebuild

I found a cheap parts truck that had a radiator and decent looking bed on it. The truck ended up having a radiator out of a C60 in it, which is probably an overkill for a 230 engine, but it had tags on it and the heater core showing that they had both been rebuilt in the recent past, so both went into the C20.

After cleaning all of the trash out of the engine compartment, changing the oil, doing a tune-up, installing the radiator, and rebuilding the carb, I turned the engine over a few times and it fired right up.
