Its great to see these old chevys come back to life from what could have been there final resting spot.

smartjaw · 07-22-2013, 07:24 PM

I'm a South Carolinian who has been stuck in MA for more years than I care to count.

Here are my twins.

First up is the '65 black and red stepside, 350/350 ps pb front disc, rear drum, locking Warn hubs and a sweet DeeZee truck box. A real heavy duty monster. It's mostly '72 K-series blazer for the 4X4 components underneath. Love this thing to death, but it may have to go soon. This truck has only ever let me down with the starter in the 5+ years I've had her. Done tons of maintenance, and she's as happy as I am about it.

The new gray and black '65 fleetside is a 350 with a TH400 trans, ps, pb, front disc, rear drum, but it's a little more polished (way more chrome), and geared more for the highway. This just got shipped in from Arakansas - supposedly a father son project that lost it's funding, so I picked it up, and am adding the necessary bits. A bit easier to get everyone in to go get ice cream with this one. Still chasing out a few bugs from the seemingly hasty assembly process. Looks to be a fun ride, though.

Cheers

Here's my 65 Fleetside, finished earlier this year after many years of work.

Replaced the chains on the tailgate with buttons to clean up the look.
Also removed all the badging and side view mirrors, also lowered the truck 6 inches for that sleeker stance.

Under the hood is a 283 V8, taken from a 65 Impala and modified a little.

Also moved the gas tank to the bed, these older Chevy trucks tend to smell of gas in the cab, if you don't move the tank.

Strodder · 07-23-2013, 03:15 PM

Your truck is one of the nicest I've seen yet.

Did you make any Magazines?
BTW, Thanks, but not my truck.

65 Fleetside · 07-23-2013, 03:18 PM

No not yet. But thank you for the kind words.

Salesman: "Oh no sir! I'll give you a great deal. Let's go inside and do the paperwork"
Man, aghast and flailing his arms: You want WHAT for that? $2900! Holy cow, son! I can buy a house for that! I only paid $1500 for the last one!

Strodder · 07-23-2013, 10:41 PM

For that price you could almost buy a new 63 Vette.

Once again nice to see someone lift another one of these trucks. Way to think outside the box. Beautiful truck

They were actually $4,037.00 for a new. I bought a used one a year old for $3,000.00 back in 1964.

65 Fleetside · 07-24-2013, 10:12 AM

Wow, goodbye to those prices forever.

Strodder · 07-24-2013, 10:24 AM

I've had 10 Corvettes since then. I wish I still had the 3 mid year StingRays.

the_evil_monk · 07-25-2013, 05:40 PM

Brand new to the board...lots of gorgeous trucks!

Had a 67 C10 as my first car, learned to drive with the "three on the tree". Been away from trucks for awhile, but now I have 4 teenage kids who are all going to be driving soon so it was time to get something to work on as a family!

So...here she is...new to us...my '63 C20...only had her a couple of weeks:

65 Fleetside · 07-25-2013, 05:53 PM

Welcome, looks like a great 67'. What all are you planning for it?

Welcome aboard! Looks like a good truck to start with, & cool that you're getting the family involved. What are the plans for it?
