65 Chevy Stepside
Jus thought I would get some opinions on my truck I just picked up. It's a 1965 Checy c-10 stepside. It will be the first Truck I have ever restored. So far i'm learning and look forward to diving into this project. Just finished up some wiring in the pole barn so I have a little more light. Tell me what you think. Also wondering if anyone knew of an ideal donor vechiles for this truck, as now I have a 1990 g-series van that im removing the tbi system, ecm and 350 from an putting it into my truck. I know it's alot of work but it will be worth it. Still looking for a donor vechile I can pull disk brakes, gas tank, and maybe the steering column. Do you recommend relocating the gas tank? Thanks.

Hello and a warm welcome from Sacramento, CA. Should be fairly simple to adapt the disc brakes using a pair of drop spindles

65 Chevy Stepside Poject 2-21
Well it's been a while since I have posted any pictures of my project. Thought I would give you an update...I have all of the body panels off, they are all in easy repairable shape. I have an '85 donor truck for disc brakes, booster, steering column, power steering, and a few other goodies. Also, have a rear differential off of a '71 with the 5 lug set up. (12 bolt) I bought a '71 350 V8 4 bolt main with camel back heads. Right now I am looking for a manual transmission, what do you recommend?? Also, i am going to go with the newer style silverado seats and console with the seatbelt built in. I am getting the frame powder coated within the next week, i'll post osme pictures. Then I will reassemble the frame completely and start working on the body panels. Here are some random pictures ofall the stages I went through...lately it has been hard working on it with the Michigan winter an dno heat in the barn.
Thnaks for looking! Any reccomendations help!        I hope all those pictures worked...
