Clyde's '65 BBW "Bonnie" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bumwine · 02-17-2016, 10:36 AM

Ok so I had started a build thread for this truck but some things have changed and wanted to start over on my personal account. So here we go again

I picked up this '65 a little over a month ago. She started out her life as a Doran Chevrolet service truck. She's got a 283 that's seems fairly strong. I will run it for now until I get to that stage. Eventually she will be bagged with the works but for now. Its going to be static drop with big brakes, rims, new wiring, etc

bumwine · 02-17-2016, 10:38 AM

I have already done some spray paint removal

bumwine · 02-17-2016, 10:41 AM

Also knocked down some surface rust and got a nice patina look. I plan on painting her down the road but for now this will have to do

I also have a full time "helper" it will be his truck one day

bumwine · 02-17-2016, 10:56 AM

replaced the ball joints and got the hotchkis springs installed it's a 4/6 drop with 2" cpp drop spindles. Also rebuilt the rearend a bit and installed the new axles. Started on the brakes too

bumwine · 02-17-2016, 10:59 AM

I have the rims but I'm still have to get tires but not sure what route I want to go yet. Went with 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the rear

Nice truck! Digging the patina

Bomp · 03-13-2016, 11:40 AM

Do you have the part number for that new master?
Like what I'm seeing.
Both feet on board, Sub'd

Love the truck man. The chrome cragars look right at home.

Thanks! Now if I could get some rubber on them and set her back on the ground

bumwine · 03-18-2016, 12:00 AM

I came across a intake and carb for cheap so I decided the engine could use a make over

Paul Y · 03-18-2016, 03:25 AM

Very nice Sir.

I'm loving the direction that you're heading on this. Well played!

Bomp · 03-19-2016, 09:35 AM

Level Up
Steps in the right direction. Diggin' it

bumwine · 03-19-2016, 09:46 AM

Thanks everyone! The shock relocation brackets showed up yesterday.

bumwine · 03-20-2016, 06:37 PM

Knocked out the front shock relocation today. Man these Cpp brackets are a pain with the cab on

step65 · 03-20-2016, 08:00 PM

Looking forward to seeing the stance with tires on the ground. The cragers look great.

You and me both! Lol I really have no clue how it's going to sit. Hopefully I like it

gringoloco · 04-10-2016, 08:04 AM

Nice parts and wheels. Like where this one is headed...

SKT · 04-10-2016, 09:17 AM

Wheel and brake set-up looks great!

With that outstanding natural patina, I certainly wouldn't paint it though. They only wear their original paint once. That is years and years of real character proudly displayed.

Looking forward to following along.

bumwine · 04-10-2016, 09:20 AM

Thanks everyone! No real progress lately. Just waiting on some material to come in so I can run new brake lines. Also have been waiting to hear back on a 400 sbc

69short · 04-10-2016, 09:59 AM

Looking great. Nice build

bumwine · 05-15-2016, 11:58 PM

Was able to get some work done this weekend. Intake and carb are back on.
Bench bled the master, all the brake lines installed, and bled the entire system. The engine bay still needs a lot of work but it will do for now

siggyfreud · 05-16-2016, 12:14 AM

Master Cyl looks great. That's the one I just received. I'm excited to install it

. Did your prop valve have 3 output ports? Looks like two front, 1 rear? Guess we don't have to do a splitter for the fronts of that's the case.

Yes sir. I ran the fronts separate. I the rear down the driver side frame rail and split it at the rear differential. So pretty much completely opposite from the factory lines ha ha
