How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks - Page 213 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does your dad know you're digging back into it?
If yes, I would guess he's already glad.
Welcome to the forums.

Completed it in 1987 and then I drove it daily to and from highschool. I lost interest after I blew the engine in 1990. Parked it and left it in the elements for years. After I built a shop I put it inside over in the corner where it has remained until last week. I'm finally at a spot in life where I can start to dedicate some time and money to restoring this truck. My dad did a fantastic job building this truck the first time and I want to make sure he is proud of what I bring it back as. His health isn't what it once was and he wont be able to do the paint or much of the body work with me this time. I'm on a mission! I have to make my father proud of what this truck becomes.
I'd love to share some pictures of its current condition but I'm evidently unable to understand how to post pics to this site.
I'll see what I can figure out?
Look forward to gaining much knowledge from this site and sharing my build.

Nice..... And it will keep the truck warmer!

Copeland · 12-28-2012, 03:27 AM

I drove up in it. I pulled in at his shop and he was grinning from ear to ear. Still going to need to do some more brake work before I make a 50 mile round trip to get a new windshield installed. So far so good but it appears I'm going going to need another transmission or have to have the turbo 350 rebuilt. I'm thinking its on its last leg.
Hope to figure out enough about the site to start a build thread soon. Thanks for all the encouragement guys!

Here are a few Pics of my newly aquired 65 C-20 Stepside Utility Conversion. More to follow as the restoration begins

jbgroby · 12-29-2012, 11:39 AM

Funny how the utility beds' have not changed much over the past 50 years. Our new fleet trucks have the same design and latches. Of course that said, the design must have been correct the first time.

Here's one I've passed for a few weeks. Looks like a 5 lug swap and 5"/4" drop. When I get mine going again, I'll swing by for the whole story.
