beautiful job...if only I could get my 60 apache c-10 to this point. GREAT congrats.
Very nice ride!
Thanks man. It won first prize in it's class at The Grand National.
Don't get me wrong, that is a sweet ride, Had a 61 Apache myself. I just knew Here in Texas were im located mine ran alot cooler with a full shroud. Mine was a custom with the chrome strip that went down the side and hooked back around to the back wheel opening. I like how yours looks with the smooth side though. Really like those wheels!
that is a very nice pickup!!! I have a 66 and had a chance to buy one like yours very very cheap,however I never liked the Knee- Knocker style....then they started to grow on me.kind of kickin myself now.
Other than that 1962 forward hood , nice job. I have 62 GMC saying "Chevrolet" on the tailgate.
Thank you. Sweet! 😎
Fn SWEET JOB!
😊 Thank you!
anyway the truck is awesome i love chevys
sweet ride!
Thank you!
@mobilehotrodrepair WOW, thank you, what an eye opener your description is! I'll be viewing your video for inspiration! I want to install hardware under the hood to make it open fully & close from inside the cab but I'm learning few people think as I do. I'm not into that hydralic stuff or making vehicles bounce around, but I AM into technology. First things first though, improve the drivetrain so I can drive it on the freeway. :) Is that Rhino stuff sprayed on the bed's interior walls?
Yes, I also use it on the bottom of cab for rust prevention and noise.
i love the truck, i have a '61 apache 20 3/4 ton 2wd and i love it. not to be stubborn or anything but that hood isnt a '61 hood, it's a '62-'66.
You've done a BEAUTIFUL job!! This truck is awesome!! It cracks me up how many people are negative about the engine hood rather that just complimenting you on the finished product. What's a ball park figure on this & time frame did you take? Mine's a '61 stepside with it's original inline 6 bolted to a 2 sp auto. I want to rebuild the 6 to be mean as possible, change it to a manual trans and make alot of other changes. Any advice since you do it full time?
Beautiful:DD
Thank you!
tell me if im wrong but i believe that seat came out of a newer truck than 93 i think is from a 95 & up
@mobilehotrodrepair another thing ilike on the '60 and '61's are a small back window. im not sure if they are rare or not but i believe they are just because i dont see much of them. but i do agre with you that you should build and cutoize to your customers likings. -Ray.
that's not a restoration, that's a rebuild. Not the right hood, but it does look nice!!!
aw man! I have a 63 and im trying to find an eyebrow hood somewhere. would have traded ya straight up!
😎
I have a 1963 Chevy c 20 stepside and I was wondering how much the restoration cost ,please and thank you
Put a fan shroud on that thing! Its too nice to be stuck on the side of the road overheated.
The 1960-62 Chevy Trucks were ahead of their time. Boxed frames with torsion bars and hydraulic clutches.
I agree. I used to drive a 61 C10. I loved how I could open the vent windows and have a breeze across the dash; it kept me cool in the Summer and kept the windshield clear in the Winter.
Is the hood a 61 or is it later . looks good.
Nice Truck... Crappy modern seats. get a bench seat dude.
good job man!!!!
Hey man, i have a 62 Chevy c-10, Iam currently restoring it myself and im wondering what your transmission cross member looks like. i have to fabricate mine, and im just looking for some pointers. If you could put a video up or something i would highly appreciate it. Thanks.
question if that is a 61 what happend to the orginal bug eye style hood?
Why did you put the wrong hood on it? It doesn't even look like a '61. What a waste of money.
@sammers213 It really is beautiful the only thing i see wrong with it it,s a chevy
shoulda kept the original hood
@mobilehotrodrepair i know thats true . thats why i went to school and learn more from a old timer that know his shit i do all my own work..
@sammers213 the 60;s trucks are hard to find parts i got a 66 but can be done like he said depends on all what u want in it i got 13 grand in mine and i did all the work myself
Nice job but I prefer the original hood. This one is too common.
I agree the Apache hood I so unique. I would have left that hood on there.
