My NEW 65 !
Heya guys, new to this section of the forum. I built a 68 C10, never thought I would get a nice enough earlier model to restore/mod.. but, as of yesterday, that story changed ! I posted my 1991 GMC (468 big block truck) for sale on CL, and was offered a trade for this 65 Chevy. I went and looked at it and immediately knew this trade had to happen

Re: My NEW 65 !
when I pick it up Tuesday, I will put a lot more pictures up. My cell phone was low on battery, and i was too busy looking at the eye-candy. He had a Chevelle to die for lol. PLUS, you know how it is.. you gotta play it cool and nonchalant, it is hard to maintain your bartering posture if u are reeling off tons of pix hehe!
