- In today's episode Sean takes you along the journey he's been through while restoring his classic Chevrolet pickup! He had been wanting to make this video for a while now. Unfortunately, Sean was forced to slow video production due to a time crunch. Preparing the truck for the paint shop was no joke!! Now that everything is done and the truck is off to the paint shop, he finally had time to makes this video. We hope you enjoy the video and maybe find some inspiration for your project truck!

Love that truck those were the best old chevys❤❤❤❤
Thank you Rick!
I love the two tone blue and white. I would keep the ride height right where it's at. 👌🏻
Hey Gavan! Thanks for watching!! 🤙 I'm glad to hear other people like the two tone! The ride hight isn't changing any time soon. haha 😆
great job should be fantastic when your finished.
Thanks Roger!
I really enjoyed your storytelling along with the video clips.
Thank you Ann! I really appreciate that. 🙌🙂
Great job for doing this 1st. Time👍
Thank you! It's really starting to come together. I'm currently finishing up a video about the paint job.
You got me pumped to go pick mine up next week getting a 1966 C-20
That's awesome dude! Glad I could get you stoked on building yours! What shape is it in?
I didn’t know you have done so much on this beautiful truck. I also like to see it in black but you should keep the two tone. It was another great video to watch, thanks !!!
Hey Henk! This video was a long one in the making. Hopefully we get back to making them faster.
I like the two tone as well, i think green will look great. I have seen a few of these chevys with brushed metal bumpers and grills instead of chrome that I think would look really good. Or even just paint em white to match the top of the cab
I'm glad to hear other people like the two tone! I'm honestly going to leave the bumpers chrome. I'm thinking about just having the chrome restored.
Very nice truck 👍
Great job restoration
Thank you!! 🤙🙌
Drove it to church,then kid left it in barn,I've got a gold mine i want to sell you mate😅
Tell me more.. 😏

Very nice
Thank you! I just got it back from paint. I've linked the video here if you are interested: czcams.com/video/12DT-rNZP9Q/video.html
Recently just got myself a 63 C20, bit different because i'm in the UK. I don't like the pretty trucks, the low as F trucks, the barbie doll show trucks. I like a workhorse truck, rough around the edges, but not rotten. My truck so far I've seen paint from yellow, red, bogey green and now it's gunmetal with a dab of purple in it with a two tone white cab. I love it. Brilliant video mate. Any hints how you ground to bare metal on the chassis under the cab? Did you remove the cab at all or ground it down in situ? Cheers mate!
Hey Tom! Thanks for watching the video, it means a lot. I agree with you, I love a good work horse. Work trucks tell a story, and can still be used for their intended purpose. I didn't grind down under the cab because I couldn't find replacements cab mounds for a 3/4 ton truck. All of the replacements I have found are for 1/2 ton trucks. I did the best I could, and if I ever find new cab mounts I'll remove the cab and do it correctly.
I love what you’re doing. You can tell the love you have for this truck by the emotion in your face when you talk about it. I’m gathering parts right now to restore my 1965 Chevy K10 (4x4) I am wondering how the new doors fit and the gauge of the metal? Are you overall happy with them? Thanks
Hey Mike! I appreciate your kind words. This project has been a blessing. Sometimes I get frustrated with it, but overall I'm very lucky to have the opportunity to work on it. As for the doors, I like them. They don't seem as think as the original doors, but they fit well. Now that the truck has been painted, I can't even tell they are after market. I've linked the playlist of videos below 👇 (including the door installation): czcams.com/play/PLnPXcXYmgiuvenpreTdIqjiF46CLds1V_.html
@@TheBrothersWorkshop Thanks for the feedback on the fit of the doors. Enjoy cruising, and your sweet old truck.
Awesome truck!! You’re doing a very good job! I’m actually restoring a 66 C20 also. It currently has a flatbed and a rattle can paint job. Plan is to re-paint it with the two tone scheme with Saddle Brown and White. I’ve been searching high and low for a pair of those jr. west coast mirrors in white. Do you have any interest in selling the ones that came on your truck? Looking forward to seeing the new paint job!
Hey!! Thanks for watching the video. I appreciate the kind words. Sounds like your truck is really cool. I've been looking for the identical mirrors in chrome but haven't found them yet. If I do, I'll keep you posted on selling the white ones I currently have.
@@TheBrothersWorkshop Right on man! That would be awesome. These trucks are so fun to work on and I love the simplicity of them, especially the 292 straight 6. Thank you for making the very well done videos on your truck! Most folks on here are just re-hashing the same C-10 recipe with airbags and turning them into something unusable. The all original trucks are so much more interesting to me.
No problem at all. I really love making videos and I strive to make them as high quality as possible. I have to agree with you about the usability of these trucks. I am way more into the utilitarian aspect of these old trucks.
I'm a year late and you probably fixed it by now. You need to ground the tail lights to the frame. Newly painted frame and wood floor the bed panels lose the grounding
I rewired the truck because I couldn't figure out the wiring issues I was having. It works great now!!
I have a very similar K-20 Blue. 17k original miles. Been painted blue over original blue but not a “good” paint job so it needs paint to be nicer but I’m not going to paint at this time. Too much cash. Drive it. Did replace master cylinder and all wheel cylinders because it’s got to stop reliably….went to vacuum boosted two chamber vs single with no boost. Replaced ALL fluids even rear axel and pumpkin.
Hey Robert! Sounds like you have a really nice truck! The truck should be back from paint any day now! We'll do a video so you can see how it turned out.
@@TheBrothersWorkshop ok cool. I’d share pictures but don’t see a method.
That's a bummer. I would enjoy seeing some. Do you have an Instagram?
Lol I got the same issue with the rear lights on a 65 lololol exactly the same
Did you ever figure it out?
Not yet just got the lights working last weekend and they work they just do what u said, a lil better than no lights at all
Once I get mine back from paint, I'll let you know if there are any issues.
@@TheBrothersWorkshop forsure too funny it's doing exactly the same thing 😂 let me know how u fix it or if I do ill let u know what happens 😆
So, we just got it back from the body shop. They fixed the taillights, but now my turn signals don't work... 😤
I'm trying to figure out why...if it is a '66... that it has '64 fender emblems.
They are 66 emblems.
@@TheBrothersWorkshop sir, sorry. Maybe I missed something in your video.
But I guarantee you, that the picture (or video shot) that you are using for the video thumbnail, clearly shows a "bowtie" on the top of the emblems.
That makes the emblems... not the truck... just the emblems, from a 1964.
I apologize for disagreeing with you.
However, a simple online search
(or in my case, being a senior citizen who grew up with these trucks), would tell you that they are from a '64.
Hats off to your dad for making you work yo lil pink ass off! That's why u are who u are bravo to u My Tata (grandfather) did the same me from 8years old I worked by his side anytime I was off from school .Then my 16 birthday came do you know what you get for your 16 day in a Chicano household. ?
