First timer 69 C20

[Jose's 69]

Hi guys. I just wanted to come on here and thank you guys for all the help I've gotten from this forum. I bought the truck in may. It's a 69 C20 350/TH400 So far I've replaced the shot 2 barrel rochester carb with edelbrock 600 cfm. HEI upgrade. All fluids, belts and hoses. I had my radiator rebuilt from a 3 row to a 4 and installed aluminum water pump and new fan clutch and fan. I re-did the interior and installed carpet, still need to re-do my seat. I need to replace the wood bed and lower it.

Welcome! Bunch of great info here. That's a good old truck you got there. I do like those wheels. They sure look great when polished.

Thank you. I love it. Don't know if i will keep the wheels. I'm liking the look of steelies, black or red with chrome lugs. Also thinking of going with the 3/5 drop kit from CPP.

Great to meet you Jose and your beautiful new truck! Your interior/exterior combo is stunning ... how about more pics and details?

Thanks ETsC10. Here's some pics of interior before i re-did it. The PO had done the body work and primer. The engine is about 15 years old. Still looks good, feels strong, no leaks. Tranny shifts smooth. I am missing the kick down though. I did the clear lenses all around. Back up lights don't work. I did the interior myself. Pretty much have done everything myself, with the help of the forum and a very knowledgeable friend. I plan on maybe painting the top half of the cab a matte red in the future and blanking out the old fuel tank doors and body molding holes.

It also has a dual exhaust with 18" glass packs. Thinking about going with some magnaflows later.

Nice. What are you going to do about air conditioning? Leave it off or ?

Thanks. I think I'm just going to keep it as is right now. Don't mind not having ac, I don't even have it on my dd. I do want to re-do my seat though. Vinyl sucks on a hot day.

Super ideas! Perhaps go see varius color choices over in the Photoshop forum!
One other option might be to paint them black with polished inserts, polished on the outside wheel rims plus add the chrome lugs.
It would still be easy care plus just a little bling without detracting from your truckts stunning body.
I agree on the drop; visually, it will let your wheels fill the wheelwells better plus give your truck better handling. 🔁🔁
