I am in my 31st year with this project truck! 
I bought this 1973 Chevy C-20 3/4 ton pickup from Continental Telephone at auction for $2800.oo in 1977 with 100656 miles on her. Originally the truck came with a 350ci engine, manual transmission and AC. The bed was a 8 foot stepside with one 18 gallon fuel tank.
Over the years I have made changes. Listed are just some of the ones I can remember. The truck has suffered a few encounters with other vehicles, one light poll, one deer, one duck and numerous encounters with the high country brush and low hanging trees.
Future plans include a new white paint job inside and out and a vinyl floor mat because this still truck has to do the dirty work around here.
This is my trash truck, wood getter, get me to the back country fishing spot, backup RV puller, quad hauler RIDE! With all the upgrades to the mechanical side of the pickup, the cosmetics have suffered but are currently being addressed. Due to dry air in the great Mojave desert, this truck has very little rust aside from typical spots where it was exposed to the sand dunes of Pismo Beach for 10 years.
