Brand New 1964 C10 from Lambrecht Chevrolet
 

Finally got time to post the build thread on this cream puff! Me, Yezzi and Delmo were lucky enough to make it out to this historic auction with the History Channel in tow. Although we have tons of stories and take aways from this epic weekend this is the one that means the most to me. I couldn't keep my eyes off this beauty! She stood out in all the pictures before the auction and in the field filled with bidders.

Here are some pics.....

BTW I am in need of a 63-64 230 6cyl original used radiator. Its not the standard size, she is the tiny one with core measurements of 17 3/8 x 18 1/2 . PM me if you have one laying around.

Re: Brand New 1964 C10 from Lambrecht Chevrolet
 

Mmmm.... I think I still have the OE unit out of my 64 build still sitting in storage if you cant find one closer to ya. I'm almost positive it's a OE/Harrison 2-core.

Re: Brand New 1964 C10 from Lambrecht Chevrolet
 

If you get a second, please measure the core of the radiator. If its 17 x18 I will take it. If its 25" wide then it won't work.

That's sweet! Glad it started and is running well!:metal:

Re: Brand New 1964 C10 from Lambrecht Chevrolet
 

love it! and the truck will be at our preshow git down!I already saw its bananas

Re: Brand New 1964 C10 from Lambrecht Chevrolet
 

Glad to see one of the Lambrecht trucks surface here on our board. I'm curious as heck to see how each of these unprecedented finds is treated. I saw that the guy with the Cameo was going leave that one as-is .. even dirty, I think. Hmm..
Clean-up only? Repair? Repaint? Restore? Drive it? Mothball it?
Wow, what a decision to make.
Sam, your previous collaborations with Delmo are well known (deservedly so), but I don't see this one going that way... or do I ?
Anyway, thanks for posting your truck. I hope more show up.
Subscribing for this one.

Congrats on owning your own little piece of history. This story will live on in history books for sure.

Re: Brand New 1964 C10 from Lambrecht Chevrolet
 

Love that picture with them all lined up in the trees.

Re: Brand New 1964 C10 from Lambrecht Chevrolet
 

Thanks fellas. The pic with them lined up in the trees is courtesy of Cameron Glendenning, the history channel producer for the show. He was out there a few months earlier taking photos and video as well as interviewing the local folks.

Cool story about that pic, all the trucks had plastic on the seats, floor mat rolled up and wire tags on the floor shift levers. One of the local residents told me when they golfed next door, they would walk up to the edge of the brush to pee and thought for years there were only a handful of junk cars in there. No idea there were over 400 and some were new.

I never heard/read the 'why were they (the trucks) there' part of the story?

I still wanted the '64 Impala, but congrats and I can't wait to see this build.

Re: Brand New 1964 C10 from Lambrecht Chevrolet
 

Great to see you have yours running. Cant wait to see the progress . The blue and white one is also running now. Many are posting on Facebook about what they are doing with the vehicles.
