hey folks robbed of two guys that are
bribed today where the burns will Center
and this is back to the 80s and I’ve got
a fantastic truck fantastic story and a
cool guy is going to tell you a little
bit about it and if you will aren’t you
introduce yourself and introduce your
truck and tell us about your your truck
I’m going
from Henderson Minnesota this is our
1983 Chevy C 20 we got this truck from
unique classics in Mankato we had
consigned the vehicle there earlier this
spring and we’re lucky enough to find
this one
so I’m sorry no I’m sorry but so what
brought you to this chart why this truck
why did you want I mean it’s beautiful
I always wanted something like this
and in fondant okay now you were telling
me this is an original truck come on
really
it’s too clean for that I’m blown away
that’s the story we got from Jeremy a
couple in Windham and a camper
dealership and they just used it to move
campers around their dealership now I
want to show this girl bumper because
you you you guarantee me this hasn’t
been replated well if you look at the
back side you can see there’s some
fitting and okay Steen starting on the
inside but definitely not Wow and you
know I’m gonna show something here
because we you know your wife was
apologetic about this earlier but you
know that shows the authenticity right
here folks so it hasn’t been refresh and
it is what it was as it was born
and it’s phenomenal now but this is this
is the it’s a football drive no those
two wheel drive wheel drive 3/4 ton okay
and what is the engine it’s a 5.7 liter
350 okay three-speed automatic okay and
you’re telling me the interior and we’ve
got pictures of that but the interior is
all original everything on the vehicle
is all original the only thing that is
an original and the interior is the
floor minute we just got that everything
else is 100% original Wow
okay so now what do you do with this
truck what what is it that what do you
like to do with it well I like to drive
okay all right
we drive okay and this is our second
show
okay went to the LGM car show as right
second show okay
and you also do the Henderson cruise in
for all you folks that are that know
about that in the Henderson Minnesota
it’s a fantastic show it’s growing every
year beautiful location and so if you if
you’re out at the car shows or you want
to drive down to intercept and take a
look at that one you can see this
vehicle in person and it’s it’s just
unbelievable now obviously these are
newer tires the truck okay okay no are
they radials they would have been radios
at that time it was they were done with
all the bias ply stuff at that time okay
so you said they used this to kind of
pull things around in the in the yard
and trailers and whatnot but in looking
looking out back I find that hard to
believe because unless it was someone
that was wearing kit gloves all the time
because folks that’s the original paint
on the bumper and you can actually see
on the patina here it’s actually the
original paints coming through a little
bit the original body but on the bright
work on the back not a dent not a
blemish nothing I can’t believe all
those years of use someone really
absolutely babied this vehicle and its
what a find you know we took the fifth
wheel out of the back and I imagine that
this tailgates spent a lot of time maybe
I off in the garage or something but
but even the bed I mean there’s there’s
it’s there you buy a new truck and you
would have that scuffed up worse than
this in six months into a year and even
so I mean you can tell it it didn’t even
haul mulch or brush because you would
have all the stick and brush marks along
the side here if they had even died
cleaned a lot and threw in tree limbs
and whatnot yeah there isn’t much for
Rock chips behind no behind the rear
tires on the front tire so not a lot of
highway miles all of the trim the
bodywork is just fantastic
original hubcaps original exhaust system
is soft yet new exhaust put on last week
by Skip foe lien in Belle Plaine
Minnesota okay I want to get a shot of
this interior because it’s just
remarkable and you’ve not done anything
in here okay you’ve not done anything in
here though have you it sounded like you
said the format the format yup and the
only Sun fade and we’re just right here
on the driver’s door probably from the
guy hanging his arm out the window what
you have to us a pickup truck come on
and you’re backing up a trailer but the
other door that’s perfect but now you
said you’ve got air conditioning in this
yes
today we drove here the windows up eight
the
just cruising and loving life you can’t
be that now does your wife drive it she
hasn’t yet but she will
ok alright wow this is fantastic so what
is your favorite thing if you had to
pick out one thing about this vehicle
that was your absolute favorite what
would it be it’s gonna be pretty hard
alright give me two now they called
these the square body is that correct
and it’s pretty easy to see because
you’ve got this huge square front end
blocked shape to everything and I know
when the with the engine sitting in
there can you pop the hood for us let’s
take a look at that because what you
can’t see on modern cars you can’t see
the ground and you’ve got all these
plastic beauty covers and everything
else like this so folks he showed me
this a little bit earlier and I want you
to take a look at it because it’s
fantastic it is as original as it can be
and yep you can see the ground down
there and it’s kind of cool because you
can actually climb up into the engine
compartment and do the work you need to
do well yeah I think my wife Sarah
probably could and you were telling me
it’s actually got there some of the
original smog pumps and air pumps and
things on it for the emissions so it is
that original it’s absolutely phenomenal
so Joe thank you so much this is
absolutely beautiful thank you for
sharing your truck with us I love it I
want to get a good shot of the side here
and you know what it’s absolutely
beautiful folks out here at the back to
the 80s car show Joe you got a beautiful
truck congratula

sharing it with us
