Forgot about the power disc brake swap. Can't wait to try out mine once it's back on the road; I'm sure it's a nice difference!

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

No hang on to it. Not sure if I'm going to make it. Have 2 girls to deliver to college on Saturday and I'm not sure which one I'm taking, if either. If I can get out of it, I'll be there. I've got a couple of items on my "Swap Meet" list that I'm still on the hunt for.

Also, I went and lost a couple of the tabs that hold the jack handle spring down while I was "cleaning" the garage. Man, I really need to get more organized.:whine:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Not a bad looking truck Tony and I'm glad you still have your eye peeled because you know I'm always on the hunt :uhmk: but I rather have more of a stocker (I think). Keep looking if you don't mind my "Craig's list junkie" friend. :lol:

Thanks Chevy dude, once I have these molding replaced this baby really going to pop! ;)

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

great looking ride but you need to change the name to 50/50 bar

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

cool truck,like the color

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

I have been thinking the same, but I don't want to change the name of this thread. :lol:

Thanks, once the white was added it really enhanced the orange.

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"

Thank you Chris. :chevy:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Looks great!
Are there any differences in the stock wheels vs the 1970 front wheels on the front side for cap mounting or visual offset?
who did you use for the power disc set up?
did you use a dropped style rear crossmember with the 5"' drop?

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Hey buddy, the caps went on the front without a hitch :metal: and all the disc brake/lowering components were "CPP" products including the rear, which are only dropped 5" coils (no C notch needed), it rides fantastic and brakes like a dream!!!! :chevy:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

New moldings going on this week!!!!!

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Somewhere hidden in that pic is a beautifull truck :)

New mouldings! Those look great

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Because of this thread I am buying white paint this week. Great job.

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

In a few days it's really going to pop!

Thanks, that white paint will look sweet on your truck and it will take it to the next level!!!! :metal::metal::metal:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Rene, is that your daughter hiding your incredible truck?:lol:

I have to ask, where do you find all those cool truck? You have to tell me where to look! ;)

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

I can't give you my secrets were I find these. :mm: I see you like my older sister too, :lol: actually she came over with her boyfriend to buy a tailgate from me and I asked her if she would mind posing for a few shots, she also showed me a pic' of her beautiful mother who was an extra in the late 70's TV show "fantasy Island" I think beauty runs in the family. ;) Here's a couple more shots. :chevy:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Taking advantage of customers is usually a negative thing, but I like what you did there! :lol:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Cool truck!!

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Thanks Brandin, here's the latest pic's the new moldings. :chevy:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Nice pics but something, I mean someone is missing, she must have been on break or something.

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

:haha::haha::haha:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

beautiful truck!!!

anyway you can give details of disc brake kit and drop you used from CPP or if someone at cpp know what you ordered.

thanks

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

To be honest I scored most of the CCP conversion kit on Craig's list and forum member "CPP Jeff" helped me with the rest. :metal:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Not sure how I missed this thread but that is one beautiful truck

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Thanks for the complements Black sheep, I've been driving the wheels off this puppy, plus I had the tailgate and the few little flaws fixed so it just graduated to a 7and a 1/2 footer, :lol: I'll post some newer pic's tomorrow. :mm:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

With or without sunglasses on? :cool:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Shawno, now feel free to remove your glasses!!!! My painter did an outstanding job on the matching of the "pumpkin orange" paint once he completed the slight surface rust repair work on the front lower part of the hood and the flaws in the tailgate making it look right!!!! :metal::metal::metal:

And a big "shoutout" to my wife who did the tailgate white lettering to complete the picture!!! :chevy:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Wow nice!!
Good job Renata!

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Nice job on the truck! Looks good!
