Re: My 65 restoration!!!
I just noticed, yours is leafs in the back.
Edit: Never-mind, after doing a search, I see most GMCs were leafs in the back.

Re: My 65 restoration!!!
Great work so far...I see you have what looks to be a summit radiator, what bottom hose did you use? I have one like it and am having issues getting a good fitting hose
Thanks !! |

Re: My 65 restoration!!!
Was the truck originally a 4speed 4x4 or did you put in a different center hump? I see it has the ebrake under the dash so the other hole was for a transfer case shift? NICE work, looks like it will be a nice truck when done.

Re: My 65 restoration!!!
Thanks for the try on the hose. I didn't realize it was a flexable hose and not a preformed one. I'll keep looking.
