I am so pleased for you Donnie, the hours and hours of hard work are coming together.

Thanks. I was not sure about the two tone but I really like it to.

Donnie that two tone on the arches and door's looks great . You are setting the bar so high for every body else . If I can get my truck as good as yours I would be a very happy man

Ta2Don · 11-24-2015, 08:38 AM

Can't wait for you to show up here in Searcy...

I too, really dig the 2 tone...

ChrisDollins · 11-24-2015, 09:38 AM

Man that looks good! I will be leaving my poor little truck at home when I come check yours out!

Chris

TJ's Chevy · 11-24-2015, 11:01 AM

Shiny!

Jasons65 · 11-24-2015, 11:50 AM

Looks great, your tubs and door panels are about the color I want to paint my truck.

Yea I feel bad that he has something like that too. I will take seconds behind Don if he can't get it. Lol

dwcardfan · 11-24-2015, 03:31 PM

Thanks guys. I was looking at my first post and it was 2 years ago Saturday. Seems like I just started on it.

jturner18 · 11-24-2015, 03:40 PM

I just started this thread this morning. Fantastic work man! I drug my 65 home two weeks ago and can't wait to get started. Gonna take me a lot longer. Lol. Now...the question...what are you going to say when the wife says she's ready to trade the camaro for the new truck??? Bwhahaha!!!

Congrats on a great build!

Thanks. Just remember we like lots of pictures. Good luck on your build. The wife already said it looks like I have spent more money on the truck than her camaro. Lol

Lol have a couple of joksters here! I love my pickup, but it could use a little more work here and there. Maybe one day haha.

dwcardfan · 11-25-2015, 07:36 PM

Ok guys I need your honest opinion. My truck has bucket seats and a console. No room for anything but 2 people. I plan on driving this thing a lot and all over so I need some storage. How does this look for storage?

TJ's Chevy · 11-25-2015, 09:14 PM

Personally I like the big ones that fill the entire front of the bed and sit over the rails, but That looks sweet!

Ta2Don · 11-25-2015, 09:51 PM

I like it Brother!!!

Thanks TJ. I like those to but I don't like how they mess the paint up.

Thanks Don. I would rather not have anything back there but I need some storage. I just don't want it to look tacky.

**65truckowner** · 11-25-2015, 10:16 PM

Looking very good. I really like the color

oldarky66 · 11-26-2015, 01:45 AM

Outstanding work, looks great. And I think the smaller box for storage is a good choice because it takes less away from all the hard work you've put in it.

I was wondering, did your drop kit include spindles or was it just springs and shocks?

Also do you have any parts left from your donor trucks you want to sell. I'm looking for bumper brackets (front & back). thanks.

Wade

mjh1965 · 11-26-2015, 02:08 AM

I like the smaller box , as it looks less intrusive . But just to mess with your head , what about painting it the same colour as the arches .
