Somewhere in my mess, they mention that scoop as a product they purchased from, yes them, for our series trucks.

Thanks Mark! It took some patience.

I thought it look familiar.

Been here awhile, so here's mine

[Rac65]

My name is Royce. I have a 65 lwb fleet side I have owned since 1981. It was a daily driver for over 20 years. About three years ago I tore it apart to restore it but shortly after the economy went in the toilet and took my income with it so it is taking a lot longer than I had hoped to get it done.

[BR3W CITY]

Not new by any means, but its been a few weeks since I posted a picture of my truck on anything. I'm Jay, fwiw....I'm a college educated city living, self proclaimed urban redneck. I also need to get the heck out of the city I live in

[Larry64]

I'm Larry. From Portland TN. I have a 1964 sb ss that needs a lot of work. Seems the more I work on it the more it needs, but as I am retired it keeps me out of trouble.

[jims1965c10]

Hi, my name is Jim from Columbia Mo. I have a 1965 C10, 81,000 miles. I am the third owner. The inline 6 has a old repair on the block and will replaced with a 1966 283 from a C20 donor next week. Got it painted today. This is a great form! Thanks.

[markeb01]

Welcome to the forum. Beautiful truck. Should be a lot of fun with the V8, which looks great restored.

[tincan1966]

I am Larry aka "Tin Can". Been in an affair with these trucks since I was 12- my first truck was a '66 Chevy lwb. Currently working on a '65 Suburban. Pics are of a '66 GMC we had-only had 56k miles 250cid/4spd. Then....the accident that killed it. Not her fault and everyone was ok. Also pics of the 'Burb, her F**d(sorry for the blue oval-it's the only non-GM we have)and her daily driver-'91 Custom Cruiser Olds. This is a great site and a fantastic group of people-learned alot in the short time I've been here.

[tincan1966]

OOPS! Uhmm, forgot to mention, my better half/financial advisor and supervisor- that's Christy and she's as much a gearhead as me!

[T Smith]

I'll bite! I've posted a few pictures before but I'm always ready to show off my truck, me, not so much - ha!

Here's me, a pic the wife took while I was building a deck a few months ago...



Here's my 66...





The fresh 355 I just dropped in it...



I'm gathering parts for a makeover, rebuild front end, air bags, power disk brakes, power steering, 5 lug conversion with new wheels and tires. Come spring I plan to add air and then slick it out and paint it but the paint will probably be next year because I enjoy driving it too much for the down time involved.

[tincan1966]

That appears to be a very straight Ford. I love that body style. My favorites are the 58's and 59's. I like the fact they share many styling concepts similar to GM trucks of the period, but the cab is more compact.

[1Bad62Pro/Street]

Keep'em coming fellars!

[1Bad62Pro/Street]

Bump for the new fellars.

[Jeff La]

Had a 65 swb fs when I was in high school that my dad gave me off the farm. Well my fever came back about 6 months ago, I first bought a 63 lwb ss with a 283/auto that I just had to have. Then I realized I really wanted a 65 like I originally had. Found a 65swb ss and paid way to much for it. It needs alot of work so I started looking for parts trucks and found a 66 lwb fs with factory ac and 327. How could I pass that up. Problem is all are in not so great shape so now I'm confused as to where to start. Hi I'm Jeff and I have a problem.......
