Re: my 65 fleetside build
not a whole lot done lately, i did get the shroud and fan installed but thats about it for now, i have got the hood sprayed and the drivers door is sprayed,hope to get the door on this weekend and then i can finish up my front clip. i am having to re spray my entire bed because of a color mix up my cab is a little lighter than the bed so we decided to do the bed, whats the old saying one step forward and two steps back, well thats my life story. thanks for checking on me though cant wait till your tear down.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
sucks about the bed...but it's coming together nicely...we have some guys on the forum that no doubt take lots of pride in doing clean work, & I'd have to put you right there with them

thanks dino, cant wait till the dually is finished, i would love to have it to pull mine to the dragstrip with, that would be super cool. i got the tail lights wired today,buttoned up some wiring inside the cab, along with installing the visors, rearveiw mirror and dome light, seat is bolted down and filler for the tank is somewhat installed just need to borrow a router so i can countersink it in the bedwood. i was going to drive it to the rod run in pigeon forge but the fuel pump went out, so i ordered a new one from summit. i did get my cowl extensions and wiper grill on today as weel and finally got the shop cleaned up. the motor is a hoss its like driving on ice, i love it. heres some pics

Re: my 65 fleetside build
Wow !!
That bad boy is really coming together... looks awesome! Your front and back window chrome really pops too, it really catches the eye and trims out the cab very nicely! You could be rolling down the road in it very soon eh?
