Hi All,
A question for those whom have an opinion...
I am going into a build and then have to decide which to keep.
I have a 1965 C20 8ft stepside. It's already running and is in decent shape. I also have 3 1965 C10s in various stages of completion. All long beds and 1 title between them.
That being written. Once the C10 is complete I will have 2 1965, near identical looking, stepside longbeds. The C20, of course, is a 3/4 ton, 8 lug, free floating rear axle. The C10 is a 6 lug 1/2 ton with slightly lesser load, brake, and handling specs and is a couple hundred pounds lighter. Drive trains are both stock 292s and either can have an SM420 or a TH400.
I have never driven a 1960-66 C10 but the C20 is a bundle of fun to drive. It will never be mistaken for a sport truck but it is definitely a truck.
Determining which to keep will influence the C10 build since I have parts slated to be deployed on the truck I decide to keep.
So opinions please on aesthetics from all and commentary from those that have driven or owned both. I know the C10 is a better investment but I am looking fun factor and function and an investment is only good when you sell it.
One additional note: which ever I choose will be a near daily driver. 20-30 miles a day, no freeways.
Your thoughts??
Thanks,
RJ
