The Restoration of my 1965 Chevrolet C10 Longside Pickup
I bought this 1965 Chevrolet C10 Longside Pickup in May 2009 to restore it. It will be customized and lowered dramatically. Check out some pictures below where you can follow the ongoing frame-off restoration over the next few years. The most current pictures will always be on top of the gallery.
