Re: Lost My 65
Thanks for the positive posts guys.
I bought from summit because all the positive I hear about them in these forums. I was already hesitant to buy from cpp because all the nightmare stories I've heard about them. Even recently, Member lucifer has had months of issues getting his order resolved. Even Jeff's signature says; 'To please contact him before slinging mud on cpp in these forums.'. I read often in these forums that cpp has good products, but their customer service sucks. Although, I hear Jeff tries hard to make things right. I've read good about the other big vendors such as summit. Thanks again. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Lost My 65
I may have mixed that up.
The way he talked, I thought he was with them. I'm still looking for a definite answer from Jeff as to if the Modulars will Not move my wheels out more than 1/16 over my drums I have now? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Lost My 65
I liked the color before, it was just really faded in places. I guess I could of added just a little more violet, but I like this color too.

Re: Lost My 65
I've had a few ask me what my wheels are and what size they are.
The brand is Modern. They are 6-lug. But I don't know if they have any particular name or anything more about them, because they were on the truck when I bought it back. They are just shy of 12" wide. ![]() ![]() 295/50 R15 ![]() http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...83#post5199983 I lowered it some when I originally owned it by loosening the torsion bars. (It's a 65 on a 62 frame) The previous owner lowered it even more in the front, and also in the back. I haven't looked closely, so I'm not sure what he did to lower the back. It does have air shocks in the rear, so I can get the back to go back up by adding air. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Lost My 65
Wow, congrats on finding your 65! I remember reading this a long time ago thinking that this was a noble cause, but realisticallly thinking that it would be a pretty long shot. What a cool story!

I think 1997 Dodge Viper Blue Pearl would look awesome on your truck bud.

Re: Lost My 65
I'm currently going through my wiring.
I think I tell in this thread about an electrical fire I had back in 84. I was 19, so I wired just what was needed to get myself going. I never got around to doing anything more before I sold it in 86/87. Anyway... I'm currently going through my wiring. I've got it all out and cleaning things up. Looking at the wiring now, I'm pretty positive the fire was related to the Ammeter. Most wires related to it are the ones that are totally fried. I will NOT be hooking the Ammeter back up.

Re: Lost My 65
That is a great color.
I'm surely going with Blue.

Re: Lost My 65
I will not be hooking up the ammeter.
So I've been reading threads on the topic of a Voltmeter. I found one member who did a nice job replacing the ammeter gauge with a 80's voltmeter. It looked good. But I saw some white led digital gauges on summit that I think would blend in nicely. I think I'm going to do mine this way: ![]()

Re: Lost My 65
I'm still trying to get everything wrapped up on the 66.
In the mean time; I still keep thinking about things I want to do with my 65. Back when I first bought it, it was a longbed fleetside. But when I wrecked it in 84, I built it back up as a shortbed stepside. Earlier this year I ran across an ad on craigslist of a guy needing to get rid of some 66 truck parts. He had a cab with a 3-speed auto column, and a couple longbed fleetside bed sides, and some other stuff. The column interested me, but as a package deal, I grabbed quite a bit of the stuff along with the two bedsides. Since then, I've been mildly banging around the idea of also building a shortbed fleetside. Today I acquired more for the idea. An older fella was parting out his totalled 65. I went to look at it a few weeks back, and saw a few things I might like, but nothing that grabbed my attention. Later that evening, he called asking if I'd be willing to help him tear away all the damaged front, and get the motor freed up to start for a potential buyer. He asked if I'd to it in exchange for parts. I said sure. So, the short story is, I have all I need but the wood to build a fleetside bed. I'll put this stuff away for a possible future project. The Tailgate is blasted and primed - very straight with only a couple small dings. The bed front is also clean. One fender well has a little rot. The bed strips are stainless steel. This worked out well for him also, he sold the motor and tranny today. I'm happy, and he's happy. Here's some pics: ![]() ![]() ![]()

That's a good way to acquire what you need if you have the time. Looks like some good parts.

Re: Lost My 65
Good thing you found it!!!
I too have lost a vehicle near and dear to my heart. But unlike you I have not been able to find it. Been a year and a half now. I still have the VIN but no plate and no clue where to even start looking. I sold it in SC but I haven't got a clue how to find it. I miss it so much ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Just wish I knew of someway to get her back
