Re: 1965 C20 Dump truck

And more...
Please excuse the rusty washers on the hinges!
Was all I had on hand Lol but I plan on cleaning them up with a wire brush.
I'm not sure yet if I'm going to paint the hinges or leave them as is.

Re: 1965 C20 Dump truck

I still have to decide what latches to use and do some more painting.
Been kinda taking a break from the truck lately but I plan on getting back on it soon!

Re: 1965 C20 Dump truck

Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted!

I have not got to much done on the truck over the summer as I was sick off and on and had to work on the clutch on my other truck(98 chevy) and just got busy doing other things.

I was recently using the truck to haul firewood until the right front wheel cylinder started leaking.
I have the wheel and drum off but still need to remove the wheel cylinder and decide if I want to replace or rebuild it.

I will try to post more regularly as I get things done on the truck as there is still very much to do.

Re: 1965 C20 Dump truck

Small update, I ended up just putting a kit in the wheel cylinder and it seems to be working fine, but now I'm having engine trouble again... Went to drive the truck to tryout the brakes and was having trouble with the engine dying out/having no power in any other gear besides 1st.
The symptoms seemed to Me like it was running out of fuel (My gas gauge does not work) so I added some gas and it seemed to run better but still not perfect.
I decided to have a look at the fuel filter in the carb. and just as I figured it was all gummed up with crud.
So I ran the truck some more without the filter in line and it is now running better but as before, still not perfect.

So now I suspect that some of the crud made it past the filter and into the carb. witch means of course that another carb. cleaning is in my near future.
It's always something with these old trucks LOL.

Re: 1965 C20 Dump truck

Looks like you have a really solid NW area truck. I have a brother in Portland and that I have visited a few times. Being up there looking at the old cars and trucks still around, they are in WAY BETTER condition than the trucks you see in the central United States. Hopefully I can get back up there in a year or two.

It's not perfect but it's not bad either, only has a small rust spot in the hood,one of the doors,and the very bottoms of the cab corners are gone but I plan to fix them. It's also had some other rust spots in the past that are all ready fixed.

I really feel sorry for you guys that have to deal with the super bad rust problems in your part of the country.

Of course things rust here to but not like they do over there!

Re: 1965 C20 Dump truck

It's been a long time since my last post!
Sadly I have not got a lot done on the truck since my last post either. lol.
Just been doing other things and my money is limited right now.
Also been poking around with the 76 c10 and my station wagon.
I'm going to try to get back work on this truck and post some updates soon.

Re: 1965 C20 Dump truck

That's how it goes sometimes. The good thing is that your truck will always be ready for you when you can get back to it

Re: 1965 C20 Dump truck

So wow it's been over a year since I last posted in this thread!
A lot has happened in my life over the last year but sadly not much to this truck.
So I got a real job in August 2020 actually almost a week after my last post!
So my free time has disappeared but my wallet has gotten a bit fatter. Imagine that! Lol
So then I decided to get my 76 C10 going (been wanting to do that for a long time)
Dug into that engine a found the block was cracked and bought another block to rebuild (almost done) and so on. For any of you interested you can check out my build thread for that truck (link in my signature below)

Anyway back on this truck it needs a lot of work still lol I will give a updated detailed list of what it needs in a later post.
This truck will be getting more attention as soon as I get the 76 running and driving wich should hopefully be very soon.
