I picked up this original 65 C20 37000 mi. 327 4 SPEED I drove 427 miles home it felt like driving a new truck. PO had truck repainted in the early 80s very bad prep that allowed water between paint and r/f pillar causing rust. I have replaced pillar and rocker and now a new coat of paint. The gold 66 is my daily driver.

Ping me if you end up going and I can meet you there (or drive over with you if you are coming from North Scottsdale.) I live just off Dixileta between North Scottsdale Road and Pima Road.

A couple new pics. I found a local guy (about four miles from my house here in North Scottsdale) who does hand lettering and striping and I had him lay a sign I designed on the truck and then take most of it back off again.

I remember that one from CL. You barely beat me to it. I had contacted the seller and got some very poor pics. I saw the bad pillar/rocker and was concerned the rust might be more involved. A local board member was cool and checked it out for me, took some better pics, and I was making transport plans when apparently YOU bought it. I guess he who snoozes, loses.
It looks great, Lets see more pics! Go ahead, rub it in! :lol:

Here's mine, been working on it for 2 weeks straight. I'll post better pics, when she's closer to being done. I suppose a truck like this will never be done. Always something fun to do on these.

My Dad had purchased a 1965 C20 Custom with a 292/3 speed column shift, brand new early in 1965 before I was born in September of that same year. I camped in that Truck, I hunted in that Truck, I played in that truck......I grew up in that Truck.

Now I have a Son of my own and thought it was time for him to share/create similar memories, so I found a near exact copy of my Dad's Truck(C20 Base Model with a 292/3 speed column shift) and had it shipped from California to Virginia. I have been working on it the past couple of months and have loved every minute of it.
