Ok, finally decided to put a build thread together. I have been hanging around for some time posting a few times but mostly just studying and learning.

This is my 65 GMC short bed fleet BBW. I bought it about 4 years ago. I wanted something cool to drive daily while I worked on my 55 1st series truck.

The truck sat for about 10 years when I got it…. Motor ran , no brakes, needed some TLC. The build was quick and dirty to get it on the road as cheap as possible. Here is what she looked like for about 2 years
