New from Alberta Canada

Hi, I bought a 1971 C20 this spring, going to put a flat deck on it. I'll be sticking with the rusty farm truck look, this was definitely a farm truck.. fence staples in the glove box and straw under the rubber floor. The guy I bought it from saved it from the scrap yard. :c2:
Has a 350 with 4 speed. Runs good :) Jeff |

Re: New from Alberta Canada
Welcome from the west coast from a former Albertan.
Had cousins lived in Devon in the early 70’s. A farm truck is supposed to have binder twine hanging from the mirrors, isn’t it! |
Re: New from Alberta Canada
Welcome! Nice truck.

Re: New from Alberta Canada
Those are good looking Alberta plates, I remember when they were that colour. Yeah useable mirrors are a bonus.

I had the gears out of the rear end to flush out the axle tubes. Speedi sleeves installed for the axle seals, vent tube installed. Bearings all look good. Found a dent in the driveshaft, so that's been redone and new u joints installed. I'm a bit hung up on some rear brake issues, I'll start a thread about that |

Re: New from Alberta Canada
Pretty sweet truck, I now have two C20s, I think they are cool. I see you also have an uncommon coil spring version. That surface rust makes for good patina, will clean up nice.

Re: New from Alberta Canada
Also from Devon. I have worked on these trucks since the early 80's. Welcome!

Re: New from Alberta Canada
I had a coil spring 3/4 ton too. A ‘72 GMC. It does seem to be a less common combo (a lot of GMC’s in Canada seem to have come with leafs).
Welcome to the board there’s a few canucks on here.! |
Re: New from Alberta Canada
Thanks everyone, and it's good to have some local guys on here. :)

Re: New from Alberta Canada
Cool truck, that thing is all business. If you haven't already, it'd be cool if you started to build thread so we can watch your progress on it. Welcome!

Re: New from Alberta Canada
Welcome from the Wet coast.
Liking the green colour - same as our K10. Curious on how you will deal with the rusty floors, supports and door sills and such. I am on the same page for these. Also, wondering about the area above the front window - some rust in mine, perhaps yours too? I'll watch for photos. Also, parts supply from above the border. I have a catalogue for one in Alberta, but i'm not at the buying stage yet, still filling the garage with parts. Good luck - throw a picture on here from time to time. |

I'm going to drive down to Scott's in the spring, for a windshield and surround, and some patch panels, I've never been, their prices seem decent. I think there's a little bit of rust in the top drivers side of the windshield frame, but I haven't fully investigated. Good luck with your project, too. |
Re: New from Alberta Canada
Same.
I'm a novice in the bodyshop, perhaps not too bad in the machine shop, but this one will test all my skill. taking this apart, it's way bigger than i thought. more parts needing attention, most needing upgrade. Engine unknown, but it runs. Drive train well used. We shall see how deep into the money pit we need to go. Cheers. Post a build if you can - it's good for motivation for us on the outside. |
