How I Restored My Classic 1966 Chevrolet C20 Pickup Truck On a Budget

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In today's episode Sean takes you along the journey he's been through while restoring his classic Chevrolet pickup! He had been wanting to make this video for a while now. Unfortunately, Sean was forced to slow video production due to a time crunch. Preparing the truck for the paint shop was no joke!! Now that everything is done and the truck is off to the paint shop, he finally had time to makes this video. We hope you enjoy the video and maybe find some inspiration for your project truck!

    I like the two tone as well, i think green will look great. I have seen a few of these chevys with brushed metal bumpers and grills instead of chrome that I think would look really good. Or even just paint em white to match the top of the cab

    I'm a year late and you probably fixed it by now. You need to ground the tail lights to the frame. Newly painted frame and wood floor the bed panels lose the grounding

    Hey Mike! I appreciate your kind words. This project has been a blessing. Sometimes I get frustrated with it, but overall I'm very lucky to have the opportunity to work on it. As for the doors, I like them. They don't seem as think as the original doors, but they fit well. Now that the truck has been painted, I can't even tell they are after market.

    Recently just got myself a 63 C20, bit different because i'm in the UK. I don't like the pretty trucks, the low as F trucks, the barbie doll show trucks. I like a workhorse truck, rough around the edges, but not rotten. My truck so far I've seen paint from yellow, red, bogey green and now it's gunmetal with a dab of purple in it with a two tone white cab. I love it. Brilliant video mate. Any hints how you ground to bare metal on the chassis under the cab? Did you remove the cab at all or ground it down in situ? Cheers mate!

    Hey Tom! Thanks for watching the video, it means a lot. I agree with you, I love a good work horse. Work trucks tell a story, and can still be used for their intended purpose. I didn't grind down under the cab because I couldn't find replacements cab mounds for a 3/4 ton truck. All of the replacements I have found are for 1/2 ton trucks. I did the best I could, and if I ever find new cab mounts I'll remove the cab and do it correctly.

    I have a very similar K-20 Blue. 17k original miles. Been painted blue over original blue but not a “good” paint job so it needs paint to be nicer but I’m not going to paint at this time. Too much cash. Drive it. Did replace master cylinder and all wheel cylinders because it’s got to stop reliably….went to vacuum boosted two chamber vs single with no boost. Replaced ALL fluids even rear axel and pumpkin.

    Awesome truck!! You’re doing a very good job! I’m actually restoring a 66 C20 also. It currently has a flatbed and a rattle can paint job. Plan is to re-paint it with the two tone scheme with Saddle Brown and White. I’ve been searching high and low for a pair of those jr. west coast mirrors in white. Do you have any interest in selling the ones that came on your truck? Looking forward to seeing the new paint job!

    @@TheBrothersWorkshop Right on man! That would be awesome. These trucks are so fun to work on and I love the simplicity of them, especially the 292 straight 6. Thank you for making the very well done videos on your truck! Most folks on here are just re-hashing the same C-10 recipe with airbags and turning them into something unusable. The all original trucks are so much more interesting to me.

    @@TheBrothersWorkshop sir, sorry. Maybe I missed something in your video. But I guarantee you, that the picture (or video shot) that you are using for the video thumbnail, clearly shows a "bowtie" on the top of the emblems. That makes the emblems... not the truck... just the emblems, from a 1964. I apologize for disagreeing with you. However, a simple online search (or in my case, being a senior citizen who grew up with these trucks), would tell you that they are from a '64.
