Well, Found It, The Period Bike Shop Truck!

[oldfart36]

1965 Chevy 350/350.
I'd heard about this truck for about a week, thru a friend. Went and looked at it yesterday, the darn thing followed me home. Been looking for a period P/U to haul hot rods and bikes. Needs some elbow grease and some tweekin, but I'm pleased with the purchase. I introduce you to the "Jones & Son" Shop Truck.

I've always liked that body style. I also like the long bed.

Very nice truck.

Wow, nice truck!! I'm a die hard Ford fan, but I have a soft spot or those old C-10's, such a clean body style! Good luck with it!

It really doesn't NEED any work. But we have to make it ours! Plans are to do a mild drop, steel wheels, and flat satin black paint. Then I'll have Ron Meyers out of Okla. do the pinstripping and door designs.

Thanks guys!

Oh yeah! That sounds spot on!

How about some subtle flat black flames over that already cool color? Nice ride!

Loves me some C 10s! I see a lot of them on craigslist, with great patina, but not rotted to pieces. -Adam

Nice truck, It is hard to find one around my neck of the woods that's not all rotted out. Road salt just eats them up.

It's screaming for air ride an flames

Looks like you've got coils front and back which makes for a quick,easy, & cheap drop. Looks like it needs 8" out of the frame and bed though.
This ALMOST makes me miss my 66.

I use to be a short bed fan only as well. But the fleetsides in these years, pull off the extra lenght done right. What's amazed me is the lwb's have really taken over in the sled crowds.

Congrats. I am into old chevys too. I have a 68 GMC short bed I'm working on currently. I frequent the site www.67-72chevytrucks.com and have found a lot of good advice there.

I was just joking around. If you dig it thats all that counts! Only thing I ever hauled was butt(and short bed= less weight).


One thing on a serious note, DON'T put skirts on it!!!!! For some reason people are starting to do this and it's just plain wrong.

Longbed = More bikes
