Re: my 65 fleetside build
Hey Flips, That seat looks very nice. Look better setting in my truck though! LOL. Looks like your coming along nicely on your truck. Did you check your power steering box yet with the adapter plate to see if the box hits the frame? Keep up the good work.

I have been like chad, working alot so theres not been alot of progress on the truck, i did start it the other day for just a minute, just to here the cam and it sounds awesome, no radiator on it yet but the inner fenders and radiator support are ready to mount. maybe things will slow down a little so i can get something done. saving now to buy a champion 3 core radiator, mine is new but i am afraid it wont cool the 406. |
Re: my 65 fleetside build
be prepared to do some modification to the upper and lower cradles if you go champion. I sent mine back and got my original re-cored, cost a bit more, but worth it in the end. I am sure you can get a multipass core soldered in between your original tanks.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
Gents, I need a new front end. Should I rebuild the stock 60 or go with a newer 74-87? If I go newer, what kind of cost am I looking at? I do not have the tools or garage space to even try it myself. Any threads, websites, or other recommendations are welcomed.

last picture is with the re-cored rad installed (excuse the stains on the shroud I will clean it up and paint it this fall when I tear the front end down).
At the end of the day I am just really glad that I don't have to look at that chinese piece of #### everytime I open the hood. |

i have been working on the truck a little lately, finally got below a hundred degrees and its hot in my shop , no air conditioning. i mounted the innner fenders and the passenger fender is bolted up and drivers side is just hanging to get it out of the floor. driver side door is ready for paint, again, radiator is mounted and transmission cooler is mounted, i had to make mounts for it as well and went with 6an fittings on the transmission lines instead of hard lines looks a lot cleaner, battery cables are made and run, steering column is in and wired she starts and runs and i drove it out of the shop, yehaw. still no belts or hoses so i cant run it but for a minute but its sounds awesome,tried to make a video but i cant even seem to post pics here lately. |
