LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LT1 Burb · 09-24-2012, 09:32 PM

Well, see how this goes, I have never done a frame off so lets give this a shot. It is going to be a 65 short fleet BBW Custom Cab, factory air, PS, PB, 283 auto with tach and clock.

LT1 Burb · 09-24-2012, 09:37 PM

Got the rear end back and picked up more parts from the powder coater's.

Modges'66 · 09-24-2012, 09:41 PM

Welcome aboard!
It looks like you got a great start.
I'm doin a similar build!

Trsmotrhed · 09-24-2012, 10:34 PM

Yep, bone stock.

Bomp · 02-24-2013, 07:16 PM

Im in too.

LT1 Burb · 04-26-2013, 09:51 AM

Just catching up on my thread, restored my AC oil cap, although I believe the decal is the wrong one. I believe the right one is blue/white , anyone weigh in.Hopefully this weekend I will mate the motor trans with the frame to give me some room in the shop.

LT1 Burb · 04-29-2013, 09:43 AM

It was a grey I got Industrial finishes to mix up from one of the original valve covers I had.

rustbucket66 · 05-01-2013, 12:03 AM

Cool build, stock everything. That truck is full of options too. That junk on the trans will come off easy with dry ice blasting, and no damage or pitting on the case.

LT1 Burb · 05-02-2013, 09:45 AM

Some updated pics, got the motor and tranny in.

LT1 Burb · 07-13-2013, 10:33 AM

Dropped the cab off at the media blasters and just picked it up so let the fun begin. I was happy to see the cab corners were nice but there was a few dents I didn't know about. At least the expensive stuff is done, now its just time.

Bomp · 07-13-2013, 11:55 AM

Nice job on the motor and trans sitting in the frame. All numbers matching too

Cab came out clean. Shouldn't be long for primer.

**pimpston65** · 10-03-2013, 01:22 AM

here's my issue, any help would be great

williamsboys · 07-14-2013, 06:52 PM

If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost to blast and coat the cab? I'm wanting to do the same.
