Hi all, my name is Jeremy, decided to join and check out all the good info here. I am just started on a project I picked up with cool history for me, still trying to figure out exactly how it changed over the years since I first encountered it back in the early 80's as the first 4 speed truck I got to drive. It is a 1963 Chevrolet C30 (I think).

Definitely could use some pointers on where to find parts for this truck, lol.

Monza, welcome to the 'Bolt. It's nice to be able to work on a project that one drove decades before!! Post some pix when you get a chance.

I grew up in Orting and have been through Colville a time or two.


Another quality post.

Welcome to the Stovebolt and congrats on your truck. We have various forums here and the guys there can be a lot of help ....just ask questions in the forum and we'll do the rest.

The guys can give you places to shop for what you need .....and you can use the swap meet forum for Parts Wanted and Parts for Sale.
Good luck, see you around the garage.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Welcome to the "BOLT". My first Chevy was a 64' shortbed, always had a soft spot for that body design.

Good to have another PNW bolter.
Post a few pictures when you get the chance.
Just guessing, has it got dual rear wheels, coils springs all around & Park brake lever on transmission?

Welcome!

If your truck is a C-30 it's probably a 1-ton. There's a forum here for those too. Keep us posted on your progress.
