I just watched your video on your truck. The truck looks amazing and sounds great. I cant wait to see it in person. Guess your done now so you can come help me finish mine, :lol:

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

You've done a very nice job on this truck :thumbs:

I agree...there's nothing 'hillbilly' about it.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

thanks tony, and i am on my way:lol:thanks capt, means alot coming from you.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

a little update on the truck, she went on her maiden voyage to the dragstrip last night, and she done fairly well considering i was on street tires, but a set of slicks are on the way. she went a 7.82 at 85.69 mph 1/8th mile. i was very pleased. hope she will pick up some with a little more traction.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

Fantastic job Flips!!!!! Loved the video and it is a sweet little ride :metal:

Re: my 65 fleetside build

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

This is a video my brother took on his phone at the dragstrip.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

Drive it like you stole it brother !!!

Hahahaha awesome!

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

OH YEAH, That motor sounds mean. I love how it launches off the line. Some slicks and that shot of nitrous and you probally going to pull that front tire.

Re: my 65 fleetside build

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

Dang! Like the vid! Like I said, Dang thats nice!

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

thats the plan

boy, that would be awesome, i have a set of drag radials on the way, juice will have to wait a while though, out of funds.

thanks likaroc
thanks bomp,appreciate the kind words.

i had a oil leak around the oil pan so i dropped the pan and ordered a new moroso 7 quart(same thing that was on it just zinc color) my old one had been on and off so many times i believe it was warped.it been around for a long time.hopefully oli pan, gasket and 275/60/15 drag radials will be here today or tommorrow and i can get it back together.

Re: my 65 fleetside build

thanks ol_skool_chevy and welcome aboard.

got the pan changed and cleaned it up and drove it to the local cruise in on the courthouse sqare in cleveland, man there was some nice cars and trucks there but i forgot to take a camera and my phone taks terrible pics..sorry.there were 2 other trucks like ours there one was a purple fleetside and the other was a kinda pink with a white top stepside both were nice trucks, lots of camaros and chevelles, oh and there even a ford or two, i think:lol:

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

finally installed the hood with the help of my son, my new wheels came in so we mounted the drag radials and put 235/70s on the front, wish i had went with 275/60s but its too late now, didnt get to go to the track friday but we might be going to steele ala. this weekend and try the 1/4 mile out. you can see i dont have the marker lights in when we took the pics but they are now, seat belts are in and installed the double springs on the carb, should be legal now lol.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

Very nice!

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

flips truck looks great, i bet it was fun putting those tires on the back!! you need to show me how you but the tach in the gauge cluster, i'm really thinking of doing that to mine, but a white face tach!!

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

Wow Flips, this just keeps getting better and better... I guess "finished" isnt a term that applies to you. :lol:

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

thanks zippeay

thanks chad, i need to pull my cluster one more time and do the volt meter swap and i will break it down then.

thanks sarge, and i really dont believe there is such a thing as finished, considering a ls swap now and a 9 inch, i got the go fast bug all of a sudden.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
 

man nice job super nice and super fast!! holy shhh it sounds killer and with those new meats on the back need more video!!
