I have a 65 which I am going to upgrade to disc brakes (5 lug)in the next couple months, I was curious what size tires wheels your are going with. I’ve read stock rims won’t work with the disc brake upgrade?

Thanks!

Been away for a while.... other projects and personal stuff. 64 has not been started for a few years. Got a new battery and painless fuse box to install, but 1st on the list is to rebuild the carb, and check the gas tank and fuel line. Ill keep you posted

Went from this to this on both sides. Happy to finally get all the holes in the doors fixed. Also, last weekend I changed out my hydroboost unit and the brakes are finally working right. They were very “grabby” when it got warmed up. Found a leak, apparently air was getting in the system.

Thanks bro.
The seats are made by Distinctive Industries and are called Touring II. They make alot of variations but you can't custom order, and I was looking for the Chevy color from the late 60s called medium blue. The color is slightly metallic.

Distinctive Industries also makes Procar Rally seats by Scat which you can find at Summit in many styles, but not in Medium Blue. One thing I learned about using these seats is the bottom bolsters make getting in and out a little challenging. It helps that my truck is dropped.
