Here's mine earning its' keep. Just got back from a road trip/job in Tonapah Arizona. Over 2600 mile round trip. Had to replace leaking radiator, probably the original 4 row.Found a replacement at Auto Zone in Phoenix. Also repaired one tire with nail in it and a leaking power steering hose. Otherwise no problems. Averaged 11.5 mpg towing 6000 lbs. Has a 5.3/ 4L60e with 4.56 gears.
Lots of nice heavy trucks here.

Lawman02, I'll be visiting your neck of the woods soon, at Riverbend. Nice looking 4 wheeler.

Here is my black satin 67 C20.

[One Chevy Scotty]

Here's my '72 C20 4x4

Pics from before trip to paint shop, and one almost done... hopefully in a few weeks, I will have her home to put everything back together.

[superchevy]

Here's an updated pic of mine. Just brought her back from the paint shop last week. Having a blast installing all the trim and interior...she looks so puurdy!

Does anybody have any pics of a Lowered 3/4 ton step side short bed? Im getting ready to build one and it almost seems as I will be the first with this combo. Thats not possible is it??

[spyderman1977]

Here is my 69 C20. Kinda funny that its a 69 C10 doing the hauling. Hopefully before long it will be the C20 doing all the work.



Here are a few parts I scored for the C20....



Both trucks are 250 6cyl powered. The C10 has a 3 spd converted from column to floor shift. The C20 has a granny 4.

The plan is to put in a B.B. with the granny 4. The later model rear came from a 79 and I believe it to be around 340ish ratio. Im thinking like 342 or something like that. My idea is that if I tie on to something if I can't move it with the C20 then I probably don't need it.

When I got it


As it sits now

[JointTech]

im going to get back to work on it in the next couple weeks. been crazy trying to pay bills right now.

[derotoreut]

My truck looked pretty good before I started. My project involves replacing the 305 with a new 383 stroker. I am also installing a front disc conversion while keeping the 8-lug. I am also installing a new aluminum radiator and Vintage Air system. I am replacing a cut up dash with an uncut factory air dash.

Ok I know this is an old thread but.... this entire site is beyond addicting, and finding old threads is like a treasure hunt.
I own a 1967 GMC C3500 133" wheelbase 9' stepside with tool boxes installed in place of fenders. ( done when new).
Its got a 305E V6, 4Spd. HO72 with 5.14's
Power brakes, factory carpeting, padded door panels, - (Originally had a buddy bucket seat) , Roof lights, West Coast mirrors.
I bought it with intentions of doing some mods and making it "My own" but
With a documented history and original paint and 67k miles, Ive unexpectedly fallen in love with the truck as-is.
It's often said that much of the world we live in was built out of the back of pick up trucks. Take a look.

My C30 given to my by my Dad last week. Had been in his garage for 25 years. Truck was originally a six cylinder box truck. When he purchased it the engine had been changed to a 400 small block, Has 4 speed in the floor. Frame was cut in half and shortened to fit a truck bed on it. It looks very professionally done. We took the gas tank out and cleaned it yesterday. I pull all the plugs out and out a little marvel mystery oil in each cylinder. Then turned the motor over by hand. Let it set all day and then yesterday afternoon we put a battery in it and it fired right up. I have a few more things to do and it will be ready for the road.

[grumptruck]

Wow! it hadnt run in the whole 25 years?

[afdcaptain]

thats correct. He also has a 71 Blazer and 2 pickups in the garage been setting the same. The blazer looks like it just rolled of the showroom floor

[grumptruck]

Oh man. Did he buy the blazer as-is all original?
What are the other trucks like?

[71CHEVYSHORTBED402]

I've done some improvements since this pic. Some cosmetic and comfortable, more for operation. It even drains through the windshield and roof, down and through the floor board. Just a runner, nothing big, but I like it.

Would have liked to see this new. It had to have been "Super" off the line with the light blue bottom & dark blue top (558 code). Someone added the white.

[Longhorn 69]

New to this. Here is mine that I started this summer, it was my Dad's. 69 Longhorn. A lot of work to do here. Down to the frame now and about ready for sandblasting, and engine getting overhauled.
