Hi Y'all - New Member, Old 8 Lug Restomod

[Black66C20]

Hey Guys, I've been lurking around for a few years since I bought my truck and figured it was about time to introduce myself and show y'all what I've been working on. I've been taking the slow and steady approach for a restomodded 1966 C20.

It's backstory (to my knowledge) - The truck was purchased in California, it ended up in a barn and lived it's life there until a fellow bought it and brought it to Ohio where he had it in a storage unit - he never got it back on the road. Another gentleman came along it and bought it, also in Ohio, and did some work to the brakes and fuel system. He also stored it in a storage unit while trying to get it back on the road until he sold it to me.

The previous owner didn't know much about it, but some cool/quirky things I've found over the last 1.5 years of owning it:
- It came stock with a 283 sbc and muncie 4 speed manual transmission but at some point a previous owner swapped in a 70's impala 400 sbc
- It still had the stock split rims but PO threw in some 16" steelies
- Someone had outfitted the interior with some white vinyl coverings for almost every surface and blue seat cover
- Someone added a house outlet under the hood, gun rack in the rear window, flashlight mounted by kickboard, air horn under the hood, 2 saddle tanks that filled by the rear tires, foam on the floor instead of carpet, a homemade dual exhaust, cab lights, an A-pillar spot light and some rear flood lights.

A lot of words so far - so here are some of the early pictures of her:
