Just bought a 1966 Chevy C20 Pickup

 1966 Chevy C20 (3/4 ton) Long Bed pickup.  It orginally came with the Chevy 283 V8 and a manual 4
speed transmission.  This one was owned by the same family since it was born in 66.

 It was used on the farm so has the diamond plate bumpers and has some bumps and bruises.
 The wood bed is a very cool feature when it is kept up....this one will need to be replaced.
 The interior was in decent shape overall.  The original seats are pretty clean.  I did find some significant rust on the floorboards....pretty normal for such an old truck.
 Roof is in good shape, as are the dash and interior side of the doors.
Someone started wiring in some trailer lights but never finished....thats ok....this old girls' gonna get all new wiring.

My Projects

I'm setting this blog up so that I can share my experiences (good bad and ugly) as I work on my classic car projects.  This is not set up to be a tutorial (heaven forbid you rely on me as a source of good information) but maybe this will help inspire those of you who are interested in working on a classic car but don't have lots of experience or  know everything there is to know about cars.  As you will see I fall into that category too but I still forge ahead!
