1965 C20 finally resurrected!

New to the forum...

I just bought this bad boy 3 weeks ago and tonight, finally got it started tonight. Seized engine from sitting in a Texas field for 5 years...new battery, starter, fuel pump and hoses = back to life. Seriously pumped! It was pumping white smoke, but I think it was from the Marvel Oil I pumped in the cylinders. More to come!

Previous owner painted it brown with stripe. It was originally light blue. I am probably going to run with a hot rod black or a dark grey.

I definitely want to lower it 4/6. I also want to convert from 3/4 ton suspension to 1/2 ton. There is barely any wheel selections for 8 lug. I would love to get some chrome reverse wheels with white walls! Any feedback, thoughts are appreciated.

Re: 1965 C20 finally resurrected!

That's one sweet patina truck! I'm gonna run some marvel oil through mine as well. I hear that stuff works like a mystery.... Welcome aboard and what motor does it have? Sorry if I missed something. Edit. Never mind...i see you have a 283. lol
