1965 Chevrolet C-10 build

Got my name on the list for the guy who makes the inside panels to convert to a big back window. Cant wait!

ABout to take this heater core to my friends at the radiator shop to see if it checks out. They are really expensive new in the book

For real? I always like the small window better and kept both my 62 and 64 with the small window. I had a buddy with a big window 66, and didnt care for it.

love that truck!!! Are those American racing TTII rims?

I sure wouldn't pass up a deal on big window, but If had a small window, it would stay a small window since that's just my preference. I think I like it better cuz it just seems more private. I don't like feeling like I am in a fish aquarium and everyone is staring at me.

true.... and i would be against tinting it. I feel like if I'm gonna show off this old truck I want people to know whos driving it!

Just ordered $226 worth of small **** from Classicparts.com. Heater fan, couple wheel studs, all new lug nuts, battery tray, bout 25 new front end general sheet metal bolts...Pics when it all comes in. heater box gasket set, bed to frame bolts (stainless), bed bolt kit for wood (stainless), and a keychain lol. Im tired of looking at that rotted plywood floor. Think I might remove the bed soon cause i have a gas tank to put in the frame rails, and while its off I'll clean the **** out of the frame and maybe order the meta strips and wood to fix the floor. And have any cancer in the bed fixed while its off.

Tomorrow having that hater core checked out, then after I finish the 88 burb Im working on for my bro I'll try to get that engine from dads and get the block to the machine shop....

stopped by oreillys and bought that pulley I needed for the suburban power steering...also bought a new oil, water and fuel pump for the 65, plugs and wires, cap and rotor, 10 quarts of cheap break in oil, a house brand filter and a wix, brake fluid, coolant, heater hose and clamps...bout $220ish I think. I need to get the receipts and keep a tally on this build. So far with 900 on the truck, and about $500 in stuff from classic parts and oreillys combined, im in about $1400.

Also just dropped off that heater core at the radiator shop and the guy is going to make it right.

Went and picked up my heater core, no leaks and jimmy said he washed out a ton of crap out of the core and fins. Looks great, plus he fixed the ends of the tubes where the hoses attach, looked like when people would pry the hose off to change it, the screwdriver gouged them.He did a fantastic job for $10.00!!!

Also, its my lucky day. These guys are old friends and they did the 4 core radiator for my 85, so we got to talking about the 65. He asked if I had a radiator and I said no. He walked over to a shelf and pulled down an original Harrison radiator from a 65 C-10! Said a guy in march brought it to him to be rebuilt, then never came and picked it up. Said he called the guy and his wife answered, said he got a dwi and was in jail and she sold his truck lol.

Jmmy had rebuilt it with a heavy duty 3-core inside and said it'll last me a LONG time. He still had the ticket from march that he wrote up, $285 after taxes but he sold it to me for $200 cash. How lucky!
