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!
Donnie....Good looking truck and the coupe 65 ain't bad either Thanks for the pictures and good luck with the project. Is it cold there in Ludington haha
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.
