A while ago I had a buddy get this camper shell for his 71 f@%d. And I said to him if he ever was to get rid of it. Give me a hollar. Well he did just that. Planning on fining some 3" aluminum I beam from scrap yard and running it along the bed rails to bring the camper up to the same Height as the cab roof. But finally got the old school lookin camper I wanted forever. Now it's really shaping up for a camping rig. Also looks a . Tho I'm putting in my 4:11 4rd member and swapping the front axle for a Open knuckle dana 44 with 4:11s. Starting my junkyard hunting.

Well took some time after work...and the bar haha. Made a set of spacers for the camper to bring it level with the cab. Everything is just mocked and clamped up but I'll be disassembling it all then painting everything after all the fab work is done. The spacers are getting rivited to the camper with 1/4" aluminum rivets and sealed up with some silicone. The I can use normal camper shell clamps to hold the. Shell down and not drill any holes in the bed! Yes! But the shell Is Getting the same white as the cab to match. Painting the shell trim black again. And installing a. Sliding window into the truck. She's almost trail ready!

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.
Met this guy in town who used to have his truck painted purple ha. Either way I always saw his truck tearing threw town but met him late one night at the local feeding hole for our trucks. Talked for a while and eventually exchanged number and told him I had some part for him. Pass on what I don't need for someone who did need. Em. And he needed a passenger fender badly. So I gave him one good. Straight fender 2 junk ones. 350 starter. Aircleaner and a bunch of other goodies he just about did a back flip. Either way he has a 63 shorbed. Cool truck. Snapped a quick shot of the two. I'll post a picture when this site let's me :lol:

Re: 1965 C20 fleet side longbed DD low budget build.
Yeup. It started out as a c20 truck. ( long bed 3/4 ton two wheel drive ) I switched the frame to a K series truck. Which stood for 4 wheel drive. Hence the K20. 20 was the classification for 3/4 ton. So goes from c10 (1/2 ton. C20 3/4. C30 1 ton ect and so on... )
