Just had to… ‘65
Showed up on Marketplace and I knew the seller. WTH, figured I would look at it…? Ended up driving it home. 🤷
1965 C10, transplant 250 6, 4sp, custom cab. Obviously someone has swapped out the box at some time. A little rough, but complete, intact, and fairly solid. Typical rust and easily remedied. Not sure of any plans for it yet, been DD’n it a week now. I forgot how much of a grin these old trucks can put on a fellla….

Re: Just had to… ‘65
Nice score. Paint bed to match cab? Cab to match bed? Option three?

Re: Just had to… ‘65
I’m thinking about painting the bed to match. If and when that time comes. Maybe try my hand at some “patina match”.

Re: Just had to… ‘65
Took the rusty mismatched west coast side mirrors off and opted for a more OE style. Yup, still got holes in the doors. Added an inside mirror.
Much better!

Re: Just had to… ‘65
Found a nice surprise under the ratty old seat cover. That seat cover did its job!
A little clean-up and it looks new again. Those dark spots in the second pic are where I scrubbed the seat and it wasn’t dry yet.
