From Steven:

          Hello! This is my 1964 Chevrolet C-10. I bought it from a friend of mine. I have known him for a long time. His Dad bought the truck new to use on their family farm.

          This truck was used to move firewood, manure, junk or anything that needed moving. The truck was always parked in a barn and never saw a drop of rain (I was told and I believe it because the body is solid as a rock).

          I had to put some lead in the lower driver fender (about a spoonful). Other than that, that was it. I replaced the old, faded windshield and put new chrome on it. I also powder coated my wheels, reupholstered the seat and ... well, I'll let the pictures tell the story (here are more photos in my PhotoBucket spot). There are no engine pics yet. I'm waiting for warmer weather. I'm gonna put a 350 GM crate in. Then I'll post pics.

          I’ve had a lot of old cars and trucks but I’m kind of attached to this one and probably will be buried in it when I go. If you all have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Thanks,

Steven Blankenship
