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! |

Re: 1965 C20 finally resurrected!
DP, Great looking truck. Can I ask how much it cost to rebuild your 283? I have the same and I like it...just don't know if I want rebuild it or buy a 350...

Re: 1965 C20 finally resurrected!
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
