Re: The 1960 - 1966 Member Introductions
HI, my name is Ben and my most recent project is a 1966 C20 Stepside longbed. I bought from the second owner who had it 36 years and used it daily as his work truck.
Just found this site a few weeks ago. I have to say that this is the most informative site I have ever seen. Will need as much advise and hel as you are willing to give....... Ignore the date, didnt set the camera date before we took the pictures, they were taking last week |

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Member Introductions
I'm Doug & I just bought a 66 C10 from a friend about a month ago and it's my first truck build. Worked on Camaros and Cutlass most my life but when I had a chance to buy this, I sold the Cutlass and bought it.
Other than my fuel injected 383 & T56, I'm torn between the stock long fleetside bed or a stakebed/flatbed. I like the idea/looks of beer keg gas tanks between the cab and rear tires... Here's my build thread I started in the project section. http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=540838 |

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Member Introductions
Hi,
I am new to the site. It is starting to get cold so I just picked up a 65 GMC SWB truck as my winter vehicle. When it is not raining or above 40 degrees I am usually on my motorcycle. The truck has a 350 bored .30 over with a TH350 tranny. I gotta say, I am loving this truck. I drive it now but I have some short and long term plans.... It has manual steering and manual drum brakes. I plan to fix that very soon. I found a craigslist deal for a complete power steering setup out of a 72 Chevy. Picking it up tomorrow. I also managed to score a power booster/MC/prop valve which should come in handy when I eventually get new spindles/disks on front. Did I mention that I'm loving this truck? John |

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Member Introductions
Hello;
My name is Tommy. I started with a 64' SBW (i changed the cab to a 65 BBW) and ended up with a Johnny Cash truck, built with multiple yr models, 64, 65, 67, 72, 76, 88, 89, and 06. I think it is turning out pretty nice. I have changed every bushing washer bolt etc.... on her. My wife name my truck Sally, as I spend so much time with her it has to be a women's name. I have done all the work myself, minus the engine and the actual paint. I have never built any car or truck, but have always wanted too. My uncle had one, 1965 BBW short bed step side when I was a kid, and I loved that truck! So I found this one and 3yrs later here she is; Sally.... STARTED WITH: Where I am today:

Re: The 1960 - 1966 Member Introductions
Names Ben. Bought my 61 in 86 rolled it in 88 and now it only comes out once in a while. My son is 13 and we are building him a 70 lwb. He and the wife think it's only a matter of bolting a few things together and it's done. I know you are never really done with your projects, there is always something more you can do to it!
