Clyde's '65 BBW "Bonnie" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bumwine · 02-17-2016, 10:36 AM

Ok so I had started a build thread for this truck but some things have changed and wanted to start over on my personal account. So here we go again

I picked up this '65 a little over a month ago. She started out her life as a Doran Chevrolet service truck. She's got a 283 that's seems fairly strong. I will run it for now until I get to that stage. Eventually she will be bagged with the works but for now. Its going to be static drop with big brakes, rims, new wiring, etc

bumwine · 02-17-2016, 10:38 AM

I have already done some spray paint removal

bumwine · 02-17-2016, 10:41 AM

Also knocked down some surface rust and got a nice patina look. I plan on painting her down the road but for now this will have to do

I also have a full time "helper" it will be his truck one day

replaced the ball joints and got the hotchkis springs installed it's a 4/6 drop with 2" cpp drop spindles. Also rebuilt the rearend a bit and installed the new axles. Started on the brakes too

bumwine · 02-17-2016, 10:59 AM

I have the rims but I'm still have to get tires but not sure what route I want to go yet. Went with 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the rear

Nice truck! Digging the patina

scoot_mcgrute · 02-17-2016, 01:07 PM

What did you use to get rid of the spray paint?

I've got a patch of black spray paint on my rear fender that I would like to see gone.

Green scotch brite and CLR. Took a decent amount of scrubbing but came off

Awesome, I was already planning on doing that to the truck. Thanks!

TJ's Chevy · 02-17-2016, 01:44 PM

Looks good!

bumwine · 02-17-2016, 10:38 PM

Started on running the new ebrake lines but needed to do some research on the final steps so I moved on to replacing my harness. Now I'm debating on restoring my cluster

bumwine · 02-28-2016, 02:09 PM

Haven't had too much time to work on the truck but with a hour here and there I've managed to get some more electrical done. Removed the power booster someone converted the truck to. they kinda hacked up the firewall a bit. I'll have to fix that down the road when it gets body worked and painted.

bumwine · 03-11-2016, 01:09 AM

Not much to update with lately. Been too busy to work on the truck. Managed to start playing with the new master though

TJ's Chevy · 03-11-2016, 05:34 PM

Bomp · 03-13-2016, 11:40 AM

Do you have the part number for that new master?
Like what I'm seeing.
Both feet on board, Sub'd

Thanks! Now if I could get some rubber on them and set her back on the ground

bumwine · 03-18-2016, 12:00 AM

I came across a intake and carb for cheap so I decided the engine could use a make over

Paul Y · 03-18-2016, 03:25 AM

Very nice Sir.
