'65 SWB - The never ending project

[w00dst0ck]

I guess I should make a build thread. Built the truck few years ago, it's changed several times and still never finished.

It started out as a full frame off from a 6 cylinder farm truck I bought from Corbin brothers (they used to paint for Misfits garage) in Dallas in early 2014. It shortly went back up to Dallas, where my buddies at Painless Performance used it as a test mule for the new 64-66 harnesses. So I got a free chassis harness installed. Shortly after the pinion nut backed off and the rear end locked up while I was driving it. So I decided to start the build.
