Re: Greg65 build thread

Re: Greg65 build thread

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks. I learned living in the south if you don't like the weather hang on it will change soon enough.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

My driver's side for made it in Friday from California. After a little cleaning I installed it on the truck. It turned out to be a very clean and rust free door. The last picture is the major reason for replacing it.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Also, I have everything for an altitude adjustment on my daily driver. It is a Bell Tech 3-4 lowering kit( spindles, springs, hanger and shackle kit, and shocks). Hope to get it installed in the next few weeks.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

That door looks awesome. :metal:

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks Alan. I'm thinking about buying the other side as well.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

door looks great, if the other one is that nice i would go for it.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

You talked me into it. I contacted him this morning about more pictures. So we will see how it goes. My passenger side is in pretty good shape but it does have some places that need to be fixed in it.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

My passenger side door arrived today from California. I think it might be in better shape than the drivers side. It does have the same problem, a speaker hole. But luky for me that plus a few small holes and that's it. Now all I need is a passenger swb bedside. Should be easy to find right?

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Good looking build. Maybe I can see some of these trucks in person one day, if you ever need any help let me know. I work in the cartersville area and live in Gordon County. I need to learn all I can before I start my build in the next year or so.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks and welcome to the forum. There is a lot of good guys and information. Check out Alan's Classics build thread. Very detailed build wit an amazing truck.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

stumbled across your build on the "static drop" thread, your ride height is perfect, absolutely spot on perfect! Subscribing so I can follow your progress, now have to go back to page one and read through your build. Beauty truck BTW!

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks for the kind words. I had thought about going another inch lower but will have to wait and see. Right now there is not a lot going on with the truck. Trying to save up to get it painted. But hopefully that will begin soon.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Tonight with the help of my son, we disassembled
the front sheet metal on my truck. I'm thinking at
ten years old he can handle this by himself next time.
Hoping to get the body work started in a few weeks. I
can't wait to see the progress.

He will never forget the experience. ;)

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks Alan.
I dont know who had more fun, him working on the truck or me spending time with him.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

It's a win-win.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

exacatly, what alan said win,win,there is nothing like building memories.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Yes I agree with both of you. We are getting close to paint and body work time.
After it is painted we will be two happy campers.

Now that the cat is out of the bag. Greg has brought his cab and some front end pieces for me to get started on. Thanks Greg, for believing in me!! We really enjoyed your family coming up today.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

nice work greg ! you are build one very nice truck

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

My family had a great time as well Alan. Your talent speaks for it self. As many times as I have seen your truck it is still flawless. Great work.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Sweet! More progress coming soon!!!!:metal:

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks Dino. That means a lot coming from someone that has built so many incredible trucks.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Here are a few pictures on the way to Alan's yesterday. Also thanks to my daughter (Jordan) for taking the pictures.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

HHMMMMM that tailgate looks familiar.....:D.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Yeah I put a little wax on it and the put it on the bed. I dont think I could have found a better original piece. Now to figure out if the color is fawn or saddle.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

rest easy, its in great hands, i wish i could have afforded to let alan done mine, he's the man.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

I was going through your build and your truck turned out great. Would not change a thing. Very nice truck.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks Greg!!

The grinder should be fired up pretty soon.

Cool pics!!

Thanks Buddy!! I will do my best.

The plan was to take it straight to the sand blaster until further inspection. I thought it would be best too fit the doors and make sure the rockers are where they need to be and the door shuts with the weatherstrip installed. Then take care of a few other things, then take it and get it blasted.

With that said I need to move my 65 out of the shop and into the basement, so I can get busy on this one. No progress tonight, I hope to have the move handled tomorrow.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Got the doors hung tonight to check fit before it goes to the blaster. There are some issues that need to be addressed. Greg, we need to get together in person so I can point out what I see and have you decide what you want fixed. Most of these pics are self explanatory. I was able to get the door off the rocker some.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

ouch......

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

more

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Rt door

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Adjusted on the passenger door. With several adjustments and tweaks I've got it closing pretty good. The only issues I see that are left to address is the uneven gap along the back edge of the door and the rocker gap is wide at the back and tighter at the front.

I will have a video to post later once it uploads.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Great work Alan. Cool, my truck is famous now that it's on you tube. All I've gotta do now is wait on music video producers to call. Thanks again for all the hard work Alan.
