Hi everyone im new to the forum I am building my grandparents old 65 farm truck I just did the engine now looking at trying to find a my6 option trans for it

[chevy_mike]

Welcome to the forum. Post up some pics as we all like pics.

As for the MY6 option, yeah those are rare to come by. If you find one, make sure you get the bell housing and complete shifter assembly as they are specific to the MY6 setups.

and welcome aboard...

Great site with tons of info and great folks, not to mention cool trucks!

[65Robb]

Thanks I love this site it has helped me soo much in the last year lol ill post pics of my 65 as soon as I figure out how too lol

[Ta2Don]

at the bottom of the thread where you can post a reply... click the "go advanced" button and beneath the text box there is an option to "manage attachments" click that to upload pics... If you're posting from a phone I think you can only post 1 pic at a time... if at a computer up to 5 at a time. Alot of members copy and paste from a photo sharing site lick Flickr or Photobucket etc...
Looking forward to pics...

here are some pic of the truck an I swapped the gauges over from idiot lights to gauges new wheels an old tires off my 99 Z71 and limo tint as well

[65Robb]

finished the dash panel swap and engine swap that old 350 would go thru about a quart of oil every 60 miles so it was time to upgrade lol

[65Robb]

Got the crate engine in an it runs good easiest engine swap I have ever done slid right in lol I did find the original stock wire retainer holders so I ran the wires on the side of the engine soo much cleaner look

[DPowers]

When you swapped clusters- did you change the entire wiring harness?

[65Robb]

Yes sir I sure did if u look at the picls rhe harness is in the box with the cluster I got the cluster an wiring harness out of a junkyard local for $150 an bonus new harness is set up for a two spd wiper motor with washer lol

[Mathew21]

Welcome great looking truck!

[65Robb]

Thank you next I got to post my sway bar install an painting my vent window frames

[65Robb]

Ok so I was scraping the 50 yr old grease an grime off the lower a arms an rest of the frame an suspension an noticed my lca were drilled for a sway bar so I been doing some research on adding in a sway bar I pulled one out of a 81 1 ton crew cab lwb 2wd bar measured 11/8" thick so I loosely bolted in the mounts to the lca first then I bolted the brackets to the sway bar tight then held it in place while I tightened the lca bolts so now the bracket is tight against the frame I lined it up were I wanted to drill through an clamped them down with vise grips just in case it jumped I then drilled four 3/8" holes later an it bolted right it no fuss really easy bolt in

[65Robb]

another quick weekend project was painting my vent window frames got tired of the rust look so a little masking an red scotch brite pad an a rattle can of gloss black an looks way better
