Today finished fabing the steering rod. Took the cut end to work cleaned it up threw some color on her and cut up some 304 stainless tubing and drilled holes for plug welds. (Had to shorten the steering shaft by 1.5 inches) either way got everything welded up nice and sturdy. Got to use that tig welder on its first prodject. Did fantastic! Better than new. I adjusted the throttle linkage for the last time. And fired her up and away I went Down the road for a test drive... drip drip dripping all the way down the neighborhood. Hahaha pkay.. how do I post videos. This is driving me nuts.

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.
Thnks tj. The video was shot from a friends I phone. And sent to me via txt. It would have been beter if I shot it from my galaxy s4. But I was a little pretty occupied hahaha. Sounds better I person. U got her into 3rd for a few seconds and it really let out that distinctive half dozen sound. Now for the flow master All 2.5 pipe from the collectors back.
Joe pass. U have always paid at the door when I drive in. I just show up a little early to get an okay spot. Maybe even under a tree this year. :) |

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.
Hmmm....maybe super 10s are in order. Hahah I'll see how they sound. I'll tack them on and seal em up. If I don't like em I'll try dual Thrush tubes... I'll post the video whenever I put the exhaust on.

Oh I'm well aware. That's why I have these for those neighborhoods where they don't like noisy neighbors. ;D. As a younger kid I was that one that was always getting in trouble. I'll also make sure to turn them down so when there open they will resonate off the ground and bottom of my truck. Nice and loud like

welded up half my exhaust need to buy mufflers that fit. The super 40s. Are to big. But for now. 2 and a half inch straight pipes with turn downs tack welded on just to move the exhaust down. Sounds so much better!!! Also figured better keep the theme of In line going. So I did the exhaust inline :)

Thanks tj. I picked up the seal I needed for my tc. And a 1/8 hard line fitting for my oil pressure guage that's leeks like a siv. But she's drives if I need her to.

Can't believe napa auto had this on the shelf for the 65. It came up for the rear output shaft/yoke seal on a t221 transfer case.. Hm. Guess you get lucky sometimes. I think that the ID. And OD are just very common sized associated with transfer cases. Beats me but who cares. Now I would t leak everywhere!:two: also got the bumper on except my front grill guards.(Those bad boys on the bumper in the last picture) Those r going on tomorrow night

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.

Removed rear t case yoke and put in a new output shaft seal that fit like a charm. fixed the oil pressure guage fitting that is in the block. That WAS giving me troube. Now my truck has zero leaks!!! For the first time ever! Also paintedvmy spare tire rim. Have to re shoot but oh well its on a truck....
