And so it begins.... 65 shortbed, lay frame, LT engine build

The last picture is of the factory support plastics for the main harness and it includes the area where the factory vacuum pump was removed and plugged with fittings. Just thought you may want to see both things.

I hope that someone is actually watching my progress as I seem to be talking to myself on here. I guess maybe I should be doing twitter or something like all the modern people.

No worries you are not alone. I am doing the same thing on my 66. Although I will likely go the crate LT engine route. I am presently finishing mounting the body on a custom frame, but likely won't get a lot more done until fall. To nice to be in garage. I want to cruise and ride when it is nice out.

I know how you feel about having fun while the weather is good. It is getting crazy hot and humid down here in southern Texas. My temp gauge said 100 yesterday!

I just retired a few months ago so the 65 is kind of my daily activity unless one of the other trucks is in need of work.

Thanks for letting g me know you are watching!
