New with 1965 C20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Good morning. I posted over at the welcome area and was referenced to this sub forum.

The truck is very new to me and besides the brakes, everything is in great working order. My question is, are there any quality of life things or common mods, that I should look at doing sooner rather than later? Thank you.

Welcome. For me, brake inspection and seatbelts are the first things I do.

One of the reasons I would love to keep it is because it says "Red Allen Chev" "Sulphur Springs Ind". It is engraved into the bumper. I searched for them but didn't find much. It would have been neat to get some history on the truck if they had any.

Best you can hope for is an old picture of the dealership, if you catch them on a good day.
Oh I see they are no longer in business.
The next best thing is the Chevrolet Historic Center for a PDF download of the these old trucks info on manufacturing.

Nice truck, man. Looks like it's in really good condition.

Looks like a solid purchase! Do the brakes and drive it. The truck will probably tell you what it needs next. Lol. I'd soon find some factory wheels and caps for it. It deserves it!

Dual master cylinder for the brakes.
