1965 chevy c20

I recently just bought a 65 c20 and am planning on putting it on bags. I know most people bag the c10s but i got a good deal on it and kind of want to be different in having a bagged 8 lug. I will upload pictures as a go on throught out the build. I look foward to feed back. It is a c20 long bed with a 283 and 4 on the floor. It is really straight with minimal rust. I feel like i stole it got such a good deal i think.

Re: 1965 chevy c20

started pulling the front arms and springs off last night. Its amazing how much harder things are to take apart with 50 years of rust build up. Will post some pics soon.

Re: 1965 chevy c20

Welcome to the forum. Looks like a solid truck. What are you plans for it, besides bagging it?

Re: 1965 chevy c20

Re: 1965 chevy c20

I don't mean to dig up an old thread, but will setting the lcas like this and zing the frame eliminate the need for drop spindles to lay frame?
