Thank You. I'm starting to more and more now that I am starting to get a glimpse of the end product.

**DURG** · 11-19-2012, 12:15 AM

I got the 22's from Coy's

The replacement 20's have not showed up yet. I got working on the new rear wheel wells. I wanted the wells to go all the way to the inside edge of the fleetside panels and as I raised the floor up 5-1/2" I figured the way I wanted to do it would be to make a wider set and trim the outer edge to match the panel. I used two OEM sets both which were rust free and had OG paint too.

likaroc13 · 11-19-2012, 12:27 AM

wheels look nice against the black, & hopefully you'll get the 20's soon...great job on the wheel tubs as well!

**DURG** · 11-23-2012, 06:44 PM

Worked on the truck some more. Alot of the progress doesn't really show in the pictures anyway I'll post a bunch. I got the steering linkage roughed in and it will work with two joints. I am relieving the frame some and will reinforce it with some tubing in that area once the motor comes out. I also have replaced both front bed sills with 2x3 tubing and fooled with the rear wheel wells some more. I also have the motor 3/4" lower now as shown in one picture:

**DURG** · 11-23-2012, 06:46 PM

Truck is still sitting about 1/2" high in rear from ride height.

**DURG** · 11-23-2012, 06:48 PM

Pictures of the driveshaft clearance to the sills are with the coilovers removed and the rear end housing tubes hard up against the bump stops.

**DURG** · 11-23-2012, 06:51 PM

I'm starting to get excited about the look of this truck with the static drop and the 22" Coy's wheels.

gringoloco · 11-23-2012, 07:44 PM

Recent work looks good! The tubs worked out great and I love the look of the deuces tuckin'

I like your build. Are you going to leave the exterior alone?

Yeah, I do have to weld up the spots on the rear quarters where someone had mounted a set of stepside type back up lights. That and the wheel tubs will need some black paint. Very bottom of front fenders need some work too.

You have one awesome truck man love it

Sharp truck.I think Id have a hard time going in the house.I would just want to sit out there and appreciate how its coming together.NICE

Texas Pugh · 11-25-2012, 07:55 PM

Truck is looking great and you are doing a good job partner.

**DURG** · 11-25-2012, 08:23 PM

Thanks all for the comments. I have tracking numbers for my front 20" Coys rims to be here Friday. I want to get this thing on the ground and set the frame heights and take a look.

Leadfoot Lambert · 11-25-2012, 08:28 PM

I can't wait to see it on the ground probably almost as much as you!

65shortbox · 11-28-2012, 07:21 PM

Great build! I have a 65 swb/bbw also. I REALLY like the portorbuild items and the static drop on your truck! I am currently working on an LS1/T56 conversion on my 67 camaro otherwise I'd tear the truck down and get the same suspension you have, very nice! I guess I'll have to wait and install those pieces when my 3 year old son enters high school, good father son project:-) BOTH of your classic vehicles look GREAT!

**DURG** · 12-01-2012, 12:37 AM

FINALLY have all my Coy's wheels mounted and on the truck. 22x9 and 20x8.5 I just put the fronts on tonight but have not checked/set frame heights yet. I got the bullet center caps with no Coy's emblems, just smooth and I will install them in the morning. They match the ones on my 62 Impala SS. This weekend I will adjust the coilovers to ride height so I can check out the stance.

gringoloco · 12-01-2012, 11:08 AM

She's got the look. Gonna be a great pair

65shortbox · 12-01-2012, 12:21 PM

Wow that looks great! Congratulations! Please post pics once you adjust final ride height...

This is at 5-1/2" in the front and 6-1/2" in the rear as measured from the floor to underside of main frame rails directly below front and rear cab mounts. I have sent Nate my upper control arm and rear four link arm angles to get a recomendation. I also have been working on the rear bed frame some more gearing up for the wood install.

gringoloco · 12-01-2012, 03:59 PM

Man, I'm in love with this truck. Super clean execution
