It is home not much done on the truck over the weekend .got it home Friday
night had some thumbs up and some oh great looks from some of the nabors
when i fires up the truck and unloaded it guess they didn't like there windows rattling from the the flowmaster with super 44's :lol: had to build a garden table Saturday for mom .
Sunday moved stuff around and started the rework on the doors ..
put the truck in the front of the shop and covered it and blocked of the front with plastic . so i guess its slowly going back together one piece @a time:chevy::metal:

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
 

So Cool!
I'm getting anxious for you. :)

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
 

I think yours look perfect in relation to the cab.
I guess there used to be 3" wider fenders available in fiberglass.
They look just a little too wide for my taste;

just a little update started working on the doors for the truck its just a little to warm to jet it done little by little . with it being 100 degrees out side but just a couple of pics

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
 

Looking Awesome!!...What is the tire/wheel combyour using for the rears? they look great!...Keep up the good work.

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
 

The tire and wheel combo is 15x12 rallies 9in back space
and the tires are 31x16x15 the rear end is from a 70 model chevy truck
which is a little wider . and streached the fenders 1 1/2.. with the wider fenders I can go to a 14 inch wide mag wheel when i'm ready :metal::chevy:

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
 

Your truck is looking awesome. I am most interested in the rear fenders. I am at the crossroad right now as to whether to widen the rear fenders or split the bed and widen it. I am leaning more towards the bed as it might be a little easier form me, but we'll see. I just set it on this past weekend for the first time to see how much and it looks like I am going to need about 5 inches total.

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
 

Good progress! Double check your front caliper pin depth. I have had a compatibility issue in that area before and different pin lengths are available. From the outside shot it looks like the pins are barely inside the non-threaded side of the caliper. This could be very dangerous. Maybe you just hadn't tightened the pins yet in that shot?

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
