I had several family members that worked long time for Hallowell. My Mom worked for a F*ord dealership in Clovis... Always lively family banter.

Hey Mike, thanks for the comment. My truck was actually bought at Burns Chevrolet out in Tranquility.

New Year.... New Members.... Introduce yourselves.

[UAV_Drew]

Hi All, been lurking for long enough I figure I'd introduce myself. I'm Drew, proud owner of a 1965 bucket'o'rust C20 that is currently being stripped down to the frame (much to my wife's chagrin).

[Minesinger]

I'm Jake. I'm a pilot and have very little experience working on cars/trucks. I just bought a 64 shortbed step side. Still not sure exactly why except that I think it's the coolest truck ever. Which, I suppose, is more than enough reason. My new to me truck is still in CA and I live in Ohio. My parents went and picked it up after I found it on Ebay and I'm working on getting it shipped to me. Loving all the resources on this forum and really looking forward to enjoying my new truck.

Use this Thread to introduce yourself to everyone!

Hey All! I'm brand new to the site, and this looks like the most knowledgeable site I could find on these trucks. My name's Kimball (kdlaz1) and my wife is Jennifer. My truck (title changes hands tomorrow night) is the first one for me, and I can 't wait!
She's a 1965, LWB, 4-speed manual, V6, with 8-lug wheels. I'm the the 4th owner of this AZ truck, and she just touched 100K original miles. She's got a recent paint-job that will need top be re-done at some point, but it'll do for now.
I'm excited for the tips and ideas that I see on here to make the most of this classic! I tried to post a few pics, but they came pack as missing a "security token"...what do I need to change?

Let's get this party started!

Hello all, My name is Daniel (Dano), I'm new to this site and new to the whole restoration process. I have always wanted to restore an old truck one day and finally found the time and money to start a project. I just bought a 62 Chevy LWB stepside 235 i6 for a 1,000 dollars. I'm not sure what all I want to do to it yet but i'm getting a lot of great ideas from this site. I look forward to posting my progress and asking questions along the way. I am calling my new project "My Maria" after my wife. I hope to meet a lot great people on here and maybe finding new friends with the same desire for these old trucks. I attached the very first pictures of my maria before anything is done to it. I will upload more pics when I can. Thanks for accepting me to your wonderful forum.
