Just bought a '66 Chevy C10 and we're quite happy about it. It's a RWD Step-side (is that the correct GM nomenclature?) with newer engine & transmission, 350ci & 200-R4 respectively.
It looks like I'm not supposed to post a picture here; is that correct?
Looking forward to some great times in "Chuck the Truck".

Welcome and great truck!

Why is it called "Chuck" ??? My '49 1 Ton is "Charlie" After our dear old family friend who bought it new.

"Chuck the Truck" - is that what your spouse/partner said upon learning you had bought an old truck?

Even though it is a very good looking truck?

Well, John...the guy I got it from said that his boys called it "Chuck the Truck", based on a book they had, so he always referred to it that way from then on. Why should I break the tradition or rename him? It's a good name. Also, I have a great friend (30+-year Ford truck mechanic) named Chuck so I told him I named my 'new' Chevy in his honor! grin
