Hello from Las Vegas.
I picked up this 64 C-20 fleet a couple months ago. I have wanted one for a long time as I had a 64 fleet in high school back in 1966. Just love the style.
I have been lurking around Stovebolt.com for quite a while . What a great site. Just reading the threads in several of the forums over the last few months has helped me decide what I want to do with my truck, and how to go about it correctly.
She has the original 283 with a Th-350 trans.
The engine seems to be in nice shape,140 lbs on all 8 cyclinders, and the tranny shifts real smooth.
The rear end has been changed but I don't know what it is yet, but seems to have nice highway gears.
Next week the steam cleaning of the engine compartment and the underside gets done, then the work starts. Small amount of mechanical to be done then I plan on taking the bed off as it is on crooked, and pull the engine and start my restoration under the hood and on the bed.
I will most likely be asking alot of questions the near future as I have not been involved in a restoration since High school back in the 60's
I really don't think I would have decided to jump into this project if it weren't for Stovebolt.com. I got so much help the 1st few times I posted re: My 64 C-30 Stake bed.
Thanks,
Bruce. Las Vegas, NV
