Well, Here it is...
My 1965 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup
I purchased the rust bucket on Feb. 15, 2005. Almost a year ago from this posting date. These are the very first pics I took of the Truck. Unforntunately there were no images taken of the engine bay before I had removed the original 283 small block engine.

After removal of the engine and dismantling of block I discovered that piston 3 was extremely damaged. About 1/4 of the piston head looks like it was blown off. Possibly some object got into the cylinder. Im guessing a washer fell in the spark plug hole??? Who knows.
Manual Liftgate?? Yep, you go that right. That thing will be taken off ASAP, its a real eye sore.
It doesnt help the overall look of this pimpin ride anyway...haha!

The inside is fairly decent. Speaking on terms of all the original buttons and gauges. Ignition looks like it was ripped out and replaced. I smell wiring harness woes!!! Surface rust covers nearly the entire surface of the cab. Nothing a light sanding shouldnt be able to remove though. Luckily is doesnt look like the floor pans and cab corners have any cancer. I will know for sure when its gutted out.
Seats are in obvious need of re-upholstering. Nothing you probably wouldnt do anyway. Driver side window is missing. Which explains surface rust inside the cab.
