'65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

I was building a truck for a customer and he lost interested in the project. We striked up a deal and I ended up with the chassis. The plan was to find a clean truck to buy and build with this chassis but I have too much going on right now. Located in Lubbock, TX.

-The good-
'65 short bed chassis
'71 5 lug rear end (unsure of gear ratio)
'85 front cross member, control arms
'73-'87 3" Belltech drop spindles for 1.25" rotors
New ball joints, new control arm bushings included but not installed
New rotors, bearings, seals, dust caps, hardware
Porterbuilt Stage 1 front suspension
Porterbuillt Stage 2 basic rear suspension
2" drop blocks
All rivets removed and replaced with 7/16" grade 8 hardware (to match Porterbuilt parts)

-The bad-
Cab mounts had some rust where the bushing goes, I have them but didn't install them. I wanted to find a cleaner set or fabricate some. They are definitely use able but were not up to my standards.
No rear brakes
I don't have a set of wheels for it. The Cragars were pulled off another build. I believe I have another set of steel 15" wheels so if purchased we would just need to figure something out on tires.

Asking $2250 as is. That basically covers parts and makes labor free.

Wish you were closer!

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

if you decide to part it out, i might be interested in the rear set up

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

Not really interested in parting anything out. If anything changes I will definitely keep you in mind though

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

Damn! Do you need a high end AR15 rifle by any chance?

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

No sir, sorry! Trades are welcomed though......

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

I live in Lubbock and if you decide to part it out I'd be interested in the porterbuilt stuff.
Thanks

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt

I will keep an eye on this thread, if its still available after Christmas I will get in touch with you. Next time I'm in Lubbock I'd like to check out your builds bro. I'm trying to free a weekend up to weld up my Brother in laws ("107") 54 Truck, he lives there too.

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

What is your shop name?

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

Would this chassis fit s 64 suburban body?

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

Not really sure. I can measure wheel base or anything else that might help you out. Just let me know.

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

Yeah messure it cause it would be nice just to drop the chassis on it and go.

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

It wont fit, the suburban has a longer tail to the frame than a SB.

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

Clyde65 thanks for the help :)

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

Well I guess it wont work for you. I might end up parting it out if you want any parts off it? I am building another chassis for a local guy and I might be using the rear suspension on it.

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

bump....

Re: '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt
 

One last bump before I part it out...
