| This truck was purchased on October 17, 2006 for $1600 from a suburb
outside of Dallas, TX and picked up on November 4, 2006. The truck
came with factory A/C, factory tachometer, and a big rear window.
It also came with an interesting brush guard that I probably won't put
back on. The truck had a 1966 Chevrolet 327 car engine and 3-speed
manual transmission installed but neither had been run for quite some
time. My plans are to do a complete restoration of the truck to
"driver" condition, but replace the Chevy engine with a rebuilt 331 Hemi
from a 1954 Chrysler New Yorker and a Chrysler 727 automatic
transmission. The original plans were to cut
the truck down to short bed specs... but after seeing
Van Pershing's C-20
truck I quickly changed my mind. Now the plans are to make a
truck similar to his. Adding saddle tanks and gas filler doors will
break up the long flat space between the cab and the rear wheel... which
I never liked and was the main reason for wanting a short bed.
