65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Well, I been looking high and low for a 63' to 66' BBW Short Fleet ever since Del pressured me out of the last one :(, yesterday I found a decent one that runs fantastic with a 327/350 power plant, an older restored truck that has some minor rust issues but nothing too severe that I can definitely live with, I think the only thing the truck needs is some 2 toning, a white top with white inserts on the sides and the white around the grill would really set it off (the grill will probably be changed to a 63' grill later anyway ;)) plus a tilt from our own Kevin Hernandez to make it look like it came with it, and I'm thinking some polished slots on this one...... So in all said I give you the Pumpkin!!!! :chevy:

Wow.
Super nice BBW truck.
Rene,... is the '63 grille thing a personal preference?
I love the 64-66 trucks and grilles so much better.
Just curious?

Why can't some of these trucks be in the midwest,...

Rene nice find! It looks like it has a 2/4 drop already. Clean interior too! Real nice! Motor pics?

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

I was a little sad when you sold the Grey Goose but it went to a good place. I'm glad to here you still wanted to get a 63-66. I was thinking you didn't like us.:lol:

I'll admit the Pumpkin looks more appropriate for C10 royalty. Please don't let anybody talk you into selling this one for at least a little while longer this time. I can't wait to see what you got planned for it.:chevy:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Thanks tony, I couldn't have done it without you!!!! and good eye that's your old grill. :mm:

Motor pic's tomorrow.

Thanks!

Did Del tell you to ask me that? Haha.

Thanks!!!

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Rich, I've really come to appreciate this body style, and after I sold the goose I immediately started to look for a replacement to no avail, like i said this truck is real nice but far from flawless and that's okay but it was the way it handled that turned me on, oh the 200 mile drive home was a kick in the pants!!!!

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Yep, I agree on the paint upgrades. Just for fun I'd start with the side inserts and grill surround, then take a look before you do the top. It's a slightly less showy approach the factory used on occasion that could work well with this one (remember the grey goose?). You da man!

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

I'm happy we have you back.

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Bruce! That's a fantastic Idea, I think I'll try that first. :metal: No, you are the MAN!

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Thanks Rich, I'm verrrry glad to be back!!!!:metal::metal::metal:

Oh Rich! thanks for posting those pic's! That third photo is really turning me on, that could be me waving! :) I love that look! :chevy:

It is a beautiful color.

Thanks Nate!

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

I have to agree Rene. When I saw the third pic above with just the white splitting the orange I thought that was the one for me.
