Here is a link to my truck. It is a 1965C10 and was bought new from the factory by my Grandpa. My uncle owned it after him which was then sold to me (Ok there was some time where my uncle thought he did not want and sold, only to buy back shortly after). It has a good life compared to when my grandpa used it as it was a farm truck that was in the fields and hauling pigs or cows or whatever needed to be done. My uncle did all the work to the truck to get it in its present condition to where really I have just changed the wheels, removed the tool box, added the cover to the bed, changed the instrument cluster to have the factory tach and gauges to where it had idiot lights, and changed the chrome bumpers and grill compared to the ones that were not looking so hot. I have the side trim to put on which is brand new from GM that my uncle bought long ago and also have new custom cab trim to put on this summer. I am also in the process of moving the gas tank to under the bed to get away from the cab mounted nozzle and to get more space in the cab. Still looking for ideas on how to make the fill nozzle not noticable in the bed and would like to make it so the wood can hide to where it will pop up on some sort of hinge but will see what I can come up with this summer. If not I will just use one of those chome caps which I have seen done and looks pretty good. Tank is mounted, just needs to be hooked up. Under the hood is a 350 with a B&M supercharger and a Muncie 4-Speed. Pretty quick for a heavy truck! At this point is really just a toy and a 3rd vehicle to where it gets stored all winter (I am in North Dakota so winter's can be long!) and if the weather looks to not be pleasant it can sit in the garage and will come out on a different day. So what do you think?

You did a nice job on that truck, Dan. It looks sharp. Is your grandpa still around to see it? Welcome to the site.

Welcome to the forum. Nice looking truck.

My Grandpa is still around to see it and he does like what it has become.

Thats a sharp 65, I like it. Cool that it's been in the family since new but you can't tease us with just one pic, your truck deserves more! Your truck is kinda close to ours but ours is green. I recently piced up door mirrors just like yours.

Very nice!!!
