That's exactly who I thought it was...just didn't see the door logos
and that's what threw me off.

Hello everybody, just a couple of pics of my 66 C20. The first is me in my old 1 car garage where i did most of the work. have since moved and have a 2 car garage, room to spread out a little! The second pic is just after i got the cab back on the frame. I painted the frame using KBS Coatings Gloss black frame kit, great product. The rockers, cowl area and air box, and some of the floor boards had some rot that i've fixed, just have to fix a few holes along the drip rail and the cab will be ready for paint. To do the frame and the underside of the cab, i had it jacked up with camper jacks and suspended from the rafters. Was able to do the rockers real easy because they were belly high, so i could sit on my stool and repair them! The third shows the Watts linkage i made to replace the panhard bar. The forth shows the motor that will be going in, a 455 pontiac bored to 463 with Eagle crank and rods, billet 4-bolt mains, Kauffman D-port aluminium heads and i'll be running a Megasquirt injection.

This is my '62 I got after my great grandfather had it for years, passed away last year. I finally got it running, gas tank de-rusted, new fuel lines, rebuilt the carb, new master and slave cylinder going in soon.

Hopefully be able to test drive it around the yard soon!!

Your personal pictures have to be downloaded to Photo Bucket, or what I use is www.SmugMug.com But I think Photo Bucket is free. Then copy the pictures url (http://www) and so on. Then paste that in that little box. Good luck.
