Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
 

worked on the frame to day have a grease fitting broken off in the lower
a frame was a easy fix with an old flat tip screw driver filed down to use a a easy out and replace oll the fitting . putt the steering back on not sure if its right the stearing rod the tie rods mount to dose not look straight. its angeled a littl bit to much for my liking not sure if i need to use a 70-72 mount and not the 65 that i redrilled on the frame:chevy: ? :uhmk:

Love all those Comp parts. Vote here for the Aluminum heads you won't regret it.
