One more 65 chevy

This is my first time to build a truck and I'm going all the way, I'm building a 2x4 tubing frame with stock cross member in front and it is equal to about 5"z so it should lay out...Let me know what u think and any ideas

Re: One more 65 chevy

I bought my truck in Cut-n-Shoot, Texas. It was full of spiders, snake skins, wasps and dirt dobbers. BTW everything looking like it is coming along nicely.
