Re: Two is easier then one 1965 GMC S/W/BB build
Been a long time since I have been here, could not remember my sign in and the admins do not reply to emails. My fault for losing my sign in info but my computer just committed suicide and left no notes. Strange>

Anyway the build has been going on and there is a lot that has happened since I last posted so I will toss up some pictures and try to fill you in if you are interested.

We redid most of the engine compartment, We were just not happy with it so we rebuilt it.

The tilting radiator hood is now a work of art. Really happy with how it came out.

The Chinese sheet metal we are forced to buy can make a grown man cry. I just gave up on gapping them un cut so I laid them out, cut them up and welded them back together.

That brings us to the bed, that is after-all what makes it a pick up right?

So we used the 67 to 73 widened tubs from Ecklers as a starting point then built the panels, or more accurately began building panels.

Haas: When you go to install the new bed panels to the wheel wells, will it just be spot-welded or do you have another option in mind?

So, in the event that you ever have to remove the wheel well or bed panels for any reason, they will just lift out as one unit? Or will the bed panels be welded to the bed-sides also? Just wondering.

It will all be welded in and all edges metal finished. This is a SEMA level build, not designed to come apart. Think of how a El Camino is built.

Update on our build, I sent the truck to a body shop last June and it has been in jail since. I just don’t get why body/paint guys feel the need to lie and bull**** about why they haven’t worked on let alone finished your truck… we will post an update when there is noteworthy news.
