Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Brother is finishing this one up for his son - '65 Chevy C10

Before he moves to TN end of this month.

My hunting buddy had one of those only a 3/4 ton 292 6 cyl.....we spent so much time cruising, nice truck.

Love to have a restored to original 64 step side in dark green. Grandfather had one.

Nice truck. I learned to drive in my grandpas 62 chevy half ton.

I like that paint job. 3 on the tree or automatic?

That needs an original 327.

That's a beauty!!

Don't look like it'll fit out the door though...........

Any of those old pickups, with the side vent windows fall deeply into the cool category.

Automatic.

PS- that's an original color combo.

Cool truck!

A custom cab. Wide back window. My first truck, a short bed 63 custom cab with a 283 powerglide, a sporty thing in the day I'd say. Most were I-6 & 3 on the tree.

Got a snarly little small block.

That's the back door.

But, you're right. It wouldn't fit out that one.

A 383 looks like a 327 and would make that truck scoot.

I have a 64 long box with a 283 and a 4 speed.


60 to 66 were some of the coolest.


67 to 72 get too much attention IMHO.

Great Grandad had one of those. His was a GMC. Last Ranch Truck he bought before he died in 67. It had the V-6 with the standard on the floor with the granny low gear.
I learned to drive in that one, when I was 9 or 10. Good times 🤠

Nice! I used to know where a nice one of those was sitting in a farmer’s barn. Don’t know if it’s still there or not. Haven’t been by there in years.

I drove a 64 stepside factory 1/2 ton 4x4 292 4 speed for years as a company truck, but it was white. Went to bid jobs in it. Old guys hired us every time. Can't even begin to tell you how many offers I had on that truck. Sold it with the business and have always wanted another. Put it in low range 4x4 and you could back up a vertical roadcut bank and stand it on the front bumper. Used to come to the end of a dirt road and pull that on unsuspecting chumps. Loved that truck.

Now, paint it black, lower it, chop the top, bucket seats and a 4 speed.

Lol, A guy I used to work with built a boat in his basement, got it all done and realized he couldn't get it out the slider door. He had a crew come in remove the slider and knock out and rebuild part of the wall.

I have to admit it was a nice boat and he did a good job on it, he just wasn't the sharpest tool in the tool box.

My Dad had a '63 when I was growing up. Paint scheme was reversed. It was mainly red with white accents. I don't remember what engine it had.
