my 1965 C10

I just joined this forum today and I wanted to share this with you all. I have been looking for an old C10 for a few months and my Friend John said his neighbor has a 1965 C10 for $2500. that was in my budget. the lady that owned it bought it barely used in 1966 she is now 92 and can no longer drive. it had just turned over 100k and this truck is for the most part unmolested.

Re: my 1965 C10

I HATE YOU! Just Kidding.. I am jealous of such a nice truck at such a reasonable price. Happy that you got it and can treat it with the respect it deserves. Those rallye wheels look spot on.

Welcome to the forum. Great to see another '65. Congrat's on the purchase.

John

Re: my 1965 C10

i have changed my mind on what i want for this truck. i have decided i like the factory Deluxe interior so i painted the door panels and had the seat redone. the seat is not exact but it looks good enough and era correct.

Old ladies are the best to buy from. They usually don't sucker around and usually didnt mess with their trucks like men do
