My first post, hopefully it works ! My `65 project. Wish list goes like this, swap stepside for fleetside(still undecided),lower it a little, convert to 5 lug(front & rear), front discs, convert to rear gas tank, crate motor & 700r trans. Oh, & win the lottery!

Thanks lakeroadster, I have checked out your build on your truck several times! Your truck is awesome, to say the least! You have some great ideas & some that I`m sure I may borrow. My truck was a Texas truck, so rust is very minimal, which is a big plus for Michigan, it has a 327 & powerglide. When I bought it (just about 3 months ago) it had been sitting for a long time, a beat up radiator was in the bed that was in the truck, so I ordered an aluminum one on e-bay the same size (seller advertised as direct fit) but lo and behold it doesn`t fit between the frame rails & neither did the one that was in the truck, my mistake for not measuring(gonna take some tweaking) Hate the gas tank in the cab, so I`m just about to order a conversion gas tank. Once I get some parts (hopefully in a week or so) I`ll get it in the pole barn & see if I can get it running. Again want to thank you, for great pictures,ideas, & knowledge on the build of your truck. I will be referring to them quite often, I`m sure. Donnie

Welcome to the forum.....Sweet rides Donnie, note on your bed swap `60 thru 66 will fit, although `60 thru `62 will require you to change out the very rear bed sill under the tailgate ( available thru Mar-K ) as the bed sill mounts are wider by four inches because of frame width differances for those said years.

Thanks Rich, I enjoy looking at your posts, they are helpful. ex; your fuel tank install. Just about to "add to the cart" the rear conversion tank from Brothers. bowtieb It looks like you have other cars. (the list below your username) `37 ford coupe, dodge dart, `69 camaro, got pics ? I like how some members have a list of their cars, how do you do that ? funny how one just isn`t enough& how some of us have similar tastes, besides c10`s.
