Finally, I have a daily driver that I can actually work on with simple tools! Now I just have to get used to it. It does have very nice power steering, but I'm not used to the rough ride or manual brakes anymore. I got soft, I guess you could say. Oh well, time to toughen up and enjoy my truck!!! Oh, this truck has a rebuilt 350, TH-350, heavy duty suspension, and is not too bad in the rust department. It does have some spots, but I'm satisfied with what I got. I'll post up some pics as soon as I can. Last edited by Peggy M; 04/11/2025 1:09 AM. Reason: Changed title. 1963 Chevy C20 Longbed Stepside 1978 Chevy K30 Custom Deluxe

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne Super In the Gallery Forum

So, for now I will use this as my parts fetcher. Oh, and here's some pics of the '71. 1963 Chevy C20 Longbed Stepside 1978 Chevy K30 Custom Deluxe
