Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
On Saturday morning...my buddy came by and got me out of bed early so we decided to go out and mess with the truck...
We warmed up by putting on the driver's sideview mirror...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
No leaks...no squeeks... This is a very solid truck. Handles very well. After getting into town and getting some gasoline, she let me drive..
Those smiles say alot... we are extremely happy to be driving the '65...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
After our little cruise, we came home. I was still very excited calling everyone to tell them the good news. Fred, who's a mailman now, finished his route and came straight over... we pulled the truck out again and made a beer run to celebrate...
Fred's turn to drive...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
So next is the body man. A friend of ours is going to patch the doors for us and do some other miscellaneous body work....if we ever decide to let him have it. We may want to drive it a bit the way it is....this has been a long time coming.
Until next time!! JC62

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Check her out...posting up old school style with one elbow out the window and one hand on the wheel... i love it! Looks great. Putting on those bumper brackets and bumper is definately a two person deal to get it lined up correctly. Keep the pics coming...!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Nice work Joe. Are you going to rebuild the 350 or stick with the 283? The ram horns are classic looking.
