Hi.
Some pictures on my -69 pickup.

bloodwheel · 07-03-2015, 08:48 AM

The engine..
v8 350....
will it start ever again?

Welcome to the truck board....

Your 1969 C-20 looks like it has had a pretty hard life, but I'm sure it can be resurrected. There are probably not many of them in Sweden so you would certainly have a unique vehicle...

The inside of your engine actually looks pretty clean. If it is not stuck, I'm betting after installing the parts it needs it will start and run.

Good luck with your project.

The story:
purchased unseen on swedish ebay(blocket.se)

Pocket home using a buddy.
The time is over when you go country o kingdom around to check on cars!

Make a call and drinking a cup of tea instead.
Just waiting to be trailered home to me!

Chevy engine 350
tranny TH350
eight bolted
2wd
8fotare
last time i was on the road was in -84

there are repairs here and there, it seems like some time been productive and started to weld up cab
torpedo, thresholds etc., but get tired. :?
the doors are cut as well as the cab corners!
Missing parts .....

The worst is all filler (bondo???) ... Someone has gone and bought up the entire stock of PP100 ...

wooden base of the bed is rutten ..... did not even have to use tools ....

The frame is painted and nice, feels good ...

going to fix her up and use as a daily driver summertime!

Bloodwheel,

If I was still flying thru Europe twice monthly for work, I would swing by and help see if it would crank!

Nice project

bloodwheel · 07-03-2015, 04:06 PM

actually there is a lot of american cars in sweden..

they are very popular here..

I have
1 dodge -40 pickup
1 chevy van - 88
1 dodge van-87
1 willys -29
and some other cars.
everyone i know drives a v8 or know somebody who does..

**burb71** · 07-03-2015, 11:45 PM

Do you know if it was originally built for export or was it built for the US market and made its way to europe over the years?

bloodwheel · 07-04-2015, 12:09 AM

it was sold new in sweden in 1969.
i think based on the paint job thats was for the telephone company in sweden.
but im not sure

bloodwheel · 07-04-2015, 12:21 AM

or maybe the orange paint looks like the telephone company orange!

i do know that it came with a manuell tranny and most likely not with a v8..

Katrina/10 · 07-04-2015, 09:53 AM

Great truck and an interesting story. I'm sure you can fix it.

Redline novdog · 07-04-2015, 11:30 AM

A '69 with no factory side marker lights.Just a States thing? Cool story,and good looking truck. Good luck with the restoration.

Subscribed, I can't wait to see how she turns out. Are you going to keep her mostly stock looking?

bloodwheel · 07-06-2015, 03:54 PM

I am not much for stock cars..

If it was in better shape i would restore her to original specs

But engine/tranny is not stock, neither is the bed.It is in very bad shape.
Alot of bondo...and rust..

I usually buillt my cars so drive them allmost all year around but not in the winter!!
First going too take the engine apart too se if there is some hope for it...

Got some ideas....
wait and see!
