My 1965 Chevy C10

[Oldmopars]

A few years ago I bought a 1:1 1965 Chevy C10. It had been sittin behind a barn for 22 years. It is now my project. When I was growing up my Grandfather had a 1966 Chevy and I loved that truck. I wanted it, but it went to my uncle. Fast forward to a few months ago and my uncle was really sick. When we visited I found the bed to my Grandfathers truck and asked my uncle for it. I now have my truck with my Grandfathers bed. 

This is a replica of that full sized truck. My truck is a long bed, so I drew and printed an 8 foot bd and frame extension. The engine, while not techncally correct, looks good and is out of the 1960 Chevy C10. Tires are parts box, I think from the 1960 Impala. 

My truck is weathered just like the model.

Great looking build, and great story to go with it Scott. Really nice job on the weathering. Do you have any photos of the 1:1?

Cheers, Steve

The real thing.  I hope to have it like the model by end of summer.

Great looking build. Always fun to build a model of something you either own or wish you did. Your 1:1 looks like a good find.
