Where are the stockers?

With all the bagged/draggers out there...I would like to see some stockers. Here a few of mine. The factory stance and vintage lines are timeless...imo.

my 65 is a stocker, almost original unrestored, except for the front fenders. the only custom stuff on it are the big truck grille, those goofy mirrirs, which work too good to take off, and a reupolstered front seat I stuck in to replace the worn out original.. has 900 miles on it, so I am betting 100k, maybe 200k.
original 283 4spd.
I love using it like a truck, and as a truck!

I have seen that same grille from a 50-80 Series truck, but they CHEVROLET letters were inside the top & bottom bars. I like it both ways and thanks for posting.

Other than maybe a set of late model wheels, I keep my pretty much factory.

Negative Ghost Rider...pattern is full.

I will leave that to the others and I will stick with the mundane stocker look, fit and finish. Not to mention, I don't know the first thing about the process, so I will stick with what I know.

I don't utilize one of those monsters unless I am removing someone else's hack job. I am amazed at some of the stuff I see on the 4-5-6 Chevy trucks I have acquired over the years.

not at all mundane
i'm sure there are some board members in Kansas or Missouri that would be glad to "school" you on the finer points
once you get low, there is no going back, it is a sickness:devil:

Tony, I really like the K10 stock look, like the one you built with your buddy Lee.

Here's mine. I have been doing a lot of work, but I'm certainly not a good enough body man! However, in the pic is how the truck looked when I got it from my dad, and he got from my grandpa. I'm hoping to return it to Saddle fawn metallic and white top. I kept the original 250 and rebuilt it. It is painted the factory ugly green, but it is original.

you guys kept that in nice shape!

Here is my 64'. It was mostly stock except for the aftermarket steel wagon wheels and the add-on mirror. I drove it home with the 5 gallon race can and all the crap in the back!

I have since dropped a 350 v-8, auto 4 speed. Moved the engine back 10". z'd the front 4" and the back 10". Bagging it and redoing the floor. I do plan to keep the stock blue paint though!

Well, I think it looks better than it really is. The doors still need some body work ,the bedsides have been a bear, and I REALLY need new rockers and cab supports. I don't know enough about welding or sheetmetal work to tackle that, so it is in my garage right now with the bed off. I'm hoping to win the lotto some day and then pay someone to do the rockers and supports.:waah:

Here is a picture of the '66 K10 Lee and I finished a few months ago. The second photo is my '66 K10. They almost look like twin brothers.
