1965 Chevy C10 – Dan M.

After racing small block modifieds in NJ for 20 years, I thought it was time to slow the pace down.  Along with my wife Cathy and her two sons Don and Gordon, we found a 1965 Chevy C-10 Fleetside pickup that looked to be a good project truck.  We soon found what a bucket of rust we bought.  While doing a complete cab-off project, Don, 12 years old at the time, and I bonded over this truck like I never imagined.  We installed power disc brakes and steering and changed it over to 5 lug wheels.  We lowered the truck by 4”.  We moved the gas tank from behind the seat to under our new wood bed. We added a 4 speed Muncie transmission.   And best of all, we added new chrome bumpers and a chrome grill.  With LMC’s help, this project was a pleasure to do from doors to fenders to tailgate.   After 2 years of hard work, the family fun continues as we get to show our truck at the local car shows.  Thank you LMC!!!
