my wife wants the chevelle to be like a jade green with tan interior and the ss stripes to match the interior, no vinyl top for us! i asked her bbc or sbc, she wants the gas mileage of the sbc and overdrive, she said as long as she can get the same or better gas mileage as the tahoe, she dont care about how much horsepower it has as long as she will be able to drive it! it wasnt hard for her to talk me into it either, i just asked her a few simple questions about (her) details and i said ok i'll do it!

Re: my 65 fleetside build

Flips seeing two different generations of American Built Trucks together like that is outstanding. It looks like it could be a calendar shot. Both of the trucks are flawless. Love the trucks. :flag: :chevy:

Re: my 65 fleetside build

I have to echo the cover shots remarks!
I always dig the magazine articles when they do a husband/wife, brothers, or father/son build story.
I think this would qualify !!

Great photos man.

(Thanks for keeping tabs on me too....!!) :metal:

Re: my 65 fleetside build

Very Nice Jeff, Your Brothers truck is really nice. Looks like its almost the color of my daily driver. So Im still waiting to see pics of that 55 big back window for your next project.....

Re: my 65 fleetside build

Re: my 65 fleetside build

Wow!!!
What a super-clean LS/Turbo set-up!
That will make for a great driver when all the bugs are worked out.
Congrats to you & your Bro! What a really fine pair!
