Finally Joined the Ranks 1965 Stepper

[JWheeler331]

Well today I finally sealed the deal on myself a "new to me" 1965 SWB Stepside.

As you can see from the pic.....the previous owner had a thing for the Andy Griffith Show. The truck is done up like something you may find on the show. Complete with light and sirene.

It has a pretty solid body. It has the original 283 V8 that has been rebuilt within the last 5-10 Years. It has been converted to automatic transmission and powersteering. The steering def needs some work though. It has TONS of play and you have to do some serious sawing on the wheel to keep it straight.

Still has stock drum brakes all the way around.

I wanted something that me and the son could enjoy and this will provide us a good starting point.

Now, check out my Mayberry Truck.

I will def take more pics tomorrow.....I took this pic while I was there looking at it today. By the time I got it....it was dark. Tomorrow I will shoot some pics of it from all sides and stuff. Any requests?
