Devo's 65 Chevy Page
This is my latest toy. It's a 1965 C3 1ton Chevy
pickup truck with a 10 foot utility bed. I plan on getting rid of the Utility bed and installing a fleetside bed. The truck also has an in-line 6, not sure what size yet, but I'm hoping it's a 292, so I can just swap it with a new
292. (I just found the tip to determining the 292 motor is to check if the
engine towers -the part between the motor mount and the frame- are the
same on both sides. If not--- you've got a 292. IF they are mirror images
of eachother, then you have any of the other Chevy motors.) I hope to have
a web-page for the truck here or someplace else soon. Initially it will be
a work truck, and then when I don't need a work truck, I'll restore it.
What is a good blue/purple color for my truck... very dark. -- Acutally I
think I found it. Sheridan Blue found on old Ford pickups. There
is a Jaguar Blue that looks good too.
As I find stuff to put here, you'll see it.
I'd like to put an Idea gallery here, similar to Van's.
See his page
for some of the coolest stuff so far...
I like the ideas for getting rid of the tailgate chains.
Oh and by the way, My truck is identical to his "original" pictures except
that I've got a utility bed.
