[k73mrviking]

[Pontiac65Cat]

good looking truck, nice to see your dash isnt hacked up for aftermarket stereo like mine is =( I need to weld in a new piece and find a stock radio or aftermarket made to look stock.

[k73mrviking]

@Pontiac65Cat yes i was lucky

[247THESHOP]

nice ride

[chevyguy262]

that color sucks but other than that you did a good job.

[p3r1c018]

Nice truck I got one just like yours well mines a 64 nd the color it's apple red but it's still under construction........

[grimmthezombie]

how did you paint it? i would love for my 81 c10 long bed to look that good

[k73mrviking]

@grimmthezombie I painted it with a paint call HOT ROD black, its a flat black and it hides alot. lol

[grimmthezombie]

@k73mrviking where did you get it and and you use a rattle can or spray gun it does look real sweet

[k73mrviking]

@grimmthezombie a parts store, i think napa, yes a used a spray gun, the primer was all rattle can tho

[Roadzery]

is that a 327 block?

[k73mrviking]

@Roadzery no it is the stock 283.

[KenMacMillan]

To this day I think they're the only 4 wheel coil spring trucks ever built.

[bubub56]

[shultz51]

[k73mrviking]

[scomyo3]

nice truck very nice i just sold my 1970 gmc 1/2 ton 4x4 last month still not over that tho was thinkin maybe a 50s truck next to many projects as it is so not gonna rush in on another basket case want something complete and as untouched as possible nice vid

[k73mrviking]

@scomyo3 Thank you. the 50's era is awesome for trucks

[Job4ACowBoyisDeath]

[k73mrviking]

@Job4ACowBoyisDeath THANK YOU!

[rex4x4]

nothing looks as good as flat black :-)

[k73mrviking]

@rex4x4 THATS MY THOUGHTS TOO

[outpass]

love the truck bud ive been workin on a fleet side for sometime now its flat black as well shaved tail gate and interior droppeder 4 and 6 inches with 20s red interior and my ma redid the seat for it coming along pretty well im just in the process of puttin a 454 big block in her to give her a lil more power keep up the good work

[Gasolineboy]

chevy pickups have a soul

[k73mrviking]

@Gasolineboy i know this one does!

[MattiasOfTheMetal]

@k73mrviking Mine definitely does. Its a 64 c20 fleet, and it will only start for me or my dad. haha

[k73mrviking]

@MattiasOfTheMetal, mine is the same way.

[MattiasOfTheMetal]

@k73mrviking Mine is all over flat black, gloss black interior, and a satin black gmc grill. The thing looks evil. haha

[k73mrviking]

@MattiasOfTheMetal I bet. It sounds sweet

[k73mrviking]

@zxvcw lol yeah it does have some walmart primer on her. but it was finished with a paint called hotrod black and a spray gun.

[brobinson75]

Nice truck, music got a little annoying after awhile.

[damienj1]

cool

[grizMARKgriz]

i got a 66 that my dads grandpa gave to him and now he gave it to me and were rebuilding it now just like you

[superfly1842]

needs some accents for real. should have masked the bumpers when you painted just looks like someone went crazy with some spray cans.

[aknowneemus]

great truck j73!

i'm sure your daughter will love this truck, she'll be the coolest chick in high school.LOL

I've got a 71 chevy c20 and it's part of my family, so i know how attached a person can get to a truck/car..

[k73mrviking]

@Chilbil123 Yes she is counting the days lol

[k73mrviking]

@Chilbil123 lol i would not derby or sell this truck for all the money in the world. Its going to be given to my daughter when she is old enough

[ammoguy5]

Sweet looking truck man. I've got a 65 C20 Custom cab...It's double canary yellow with a Goodwrench crate 350 in it. It is my daily driver and I have had it for a little over 4 years now. Nice to see the old Chevs on the road..

Those 283's are great little engines
