From Tim :
Hi all! I thought I'd update my Gallery photos. If you remember, my truck was hit in January 2007 while parked on the street. (Here's a picture of that cold windy night.) After some arguing with the insurance company, they agreed to fix my truck. It was actually in the body shop longer than I had the truck! A donor truck was found locally that gave up a hood, grille support, and radiator support.
We added a new chrome grille, new parking lamp bezels, a chrome bumper, and painted the area behind the grille a groovy gun-metal gray. I hope to get the interior and roof painted to match this winter.
I've also added a set of 17" Corvette rally wheels and 60 series tires, a chrome rear bumper, and a no-notch fender (I bought from RJ). The body shop painted them for me at no extra charge. I replaced the 42 year old radiator, threw in a new starter, and a few other parts and she's running like a dream.
Along with the new cab color, I hope to drop the truck a few inches, switch out the floor shift with a column shift, and put in an original bench seat I recently had reupholstered.
She's a work in progress but she gets me to the Home Depot and back every weekend and draws a lot of attention.Hope to see you all again soon!

Hey there! This 1965 C-10 SWB Stepside was my first eBay vehicle purchase. I bought it back in October and got to drive it for about a month before the snow hit.
I parked in front of my house one cold windy night. An unlicensed, uninsured driver, (in a Ford no less) hit the front end at about 30 mph. Thankfully, the damage was cosmetic with no frame or radiator damage. It�s currently in the shop being repaired so I�ll get more photos on the page soon.
After a couple of purchases from fellow Stovebolters, it�ll have a new no-notch fender (RJ), and an automatic column (4-5-6 Chevy Trucks) installed. I put on new chrome bumpers just before the accident, and as soon as I get it back, I plan to install new 17� Corvette rallys from Stockton Wheel, lower it 2� in the front, 3� in the back, a newly upholstered bench seat to replace the Ranger buckets currently in it. Then I'll have a little practice with the paint gun and the roof and area behind the grill will be gunmetal gray to match the new interior.
