Re: My 65 restoration!!!
Looking at that door, the metal looks pretty good.
I just started digging into my passenger's - I'm going to need some patch panels. Your bed looks to be in nice shape also.

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!!!
Get your center section of the frame level first then see if the front or rear rails are not level. It could be something other than a bent frame. Tire pressure, sagging spring etc.

Re: My 65 restoration!!!
Not sure if its an optical illusion but from that pic the right front frame horn looks to be off to the outside a little,,,

I found if I cut 4 inches off the 73-87 upper hose where it connects to the manifold, it fits perfect. I still haven't found a good lower hose option. looking forward to hearing back from 65GMCFirstride.
