Re: Times gone by an old 65 C-10
Time for an update. The son is back home with Mom, but we did get the front clip off and cleaned up. New gaskets came in for the motor. Oh and while perusing the good old craigslist this last sunday i brought home another 65 C-10 L6 believe to be 292 4speed that has some great parts if i can bring myself to tear it apart or it might just become the shop truck as it runs and drives the original AM radio even turns on. Its got some bumps and bruises and appears to be fairly rust free. Now just to find the time to get to work on these things. Pics to come on the parts/shop truck.

Re: Times gone by an old 65 C-10
Long time since an update here, well the son never took an interest after the last post in 2013. He's out of school now and living the life at home with mom. For sentimental reasons and well after almost 21 years of owning this truck I still have it. It moved with me to Washington state and work got in the way of ever getting anything done. Fortunately since then I met an amazing gal who puts up with my car and truck hobbies and since we are now married we kept her place in Nevada and the truck is up there waiting in storage. Finishing up my last tour in the Navy in Arizona of all places so hopefully it will be back in the rebuild progress again soon. My younger daughter and step sons have show interest in these old trucks, so time will tell. Hopefully it wont be another seven years before another update. Funny how life changes and gets in the way of plans. But this old truck is the one vehicle I have owned the longest and as of now is over half my life.

Re: Times gone by an old 65 C-10
Welcome back buddy! We all take breaks; I myself took about a 3 or 4 year break from posting on the site. But we all come back and it's nice to have the same folks around that have been here forever. Even if it does take another 7 years, hopefully we'll be here to post and jeer.
Exciting news your retirement is coming up soon. I got out of the USCG just under 9 years. If I would have stayed in, I would've retired in 2022. But that's ok, life has been good outside too. No regrets.

Re: Times gone by an old 65 C-10
Well made the family trip north for Turkey day, while we were there I brought the old truck home to AZ, hopefully start making some progress again. Scored some free parts off another C10 builder.

Re: Times gone by an old 65 C-10
Not much new, still so busy with other projects and the job hunt havent had time to dig in yet did move the truck accross the back yard yesterday had to replace the last tire was on it from when I bought back in 99. It finally gave up the ghost and blew out. The paint job on said wheel that i did in 2007 is still holding up pretty well. Hope to get some things done on the old truck soon. Maybe this summer when the race car is parked i can get to it.

Re: Times gone by an old 65 C-10
Good idea. Park the race car and work on the truck.
