1965 c20
Pictured here is my Great Grandpa Arley's truck (that's him in the background). It was taken probably right after he bought it, brand new in 1965. Soon after he had a camper shell put on and the west coast mirrors. Also pictured is the same truck in 2020. Very proud to still have it in the family and still have it on the road.

Re: 1965 c20
That's so cool man. I love hearing the history of these trucks, especially when they've stayed in the same family since new

Re: 1965 c20
That's awesome. You need to have your uncle pose next to the truck with some fish.

Re: 1965 c20
Great photo, thanks for sharing. This C 20 may look plain, but does have the custom comfort option ( note red seat ) and appears to have an automatic trans. Two great options, and may have more under the hood. Can't help at commenting on how drastic a wheel change can be to the overall appearance. There are ways to get that original look back, but it requires some doing.
