IMHO anything made after 66 is simply not attractive in any way.
Nor do the 73 and up trucks look anything like the beauty that is in the 1st gen C10s..
Just saying

I've had it a couple of years now. Good old solid C-20, one owner. Did a bit of panel patching early on, sits in the garage most of the time now, out on the farm.

I get you with what you are saying, I meant being boxy in shape. I agree 60-66 trucks has some good looks going on IMHO.

Are you keeping the wheels or going with a traditional look?

I have those wheels on my lowered 65 c10, but I don't think they look quite right on a stock height truck. Especially not for a c20. That's just me...

I figured I'd bump this thread up with a more recent pic of my 66 C20.

1960 3/4 ton GMC Custom. Back in the 60's, you were doing pretty good if you had this outfit. Too bad we don't see enough of these 3/4 tons getting restored back to this condition.
