Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Thanks!!
I'm not sure of the brand... they are small 'turbo' looking mufflers that say Made in the USA. They have a very nice tone, at idle the sound is close to a chambered muffler... Quote:
You got that right Jose. Just in the knick of time. We are wanting to paint the truck this spring. Is you or your bro interested in a side job??

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Hopefully it isn't this, but I would find a shop that can test your coolant for exhaust gases.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
I was doing some thinking. We haven't ran the truck much since I drained the system to replace the heater core. I think it still had some air in the system. Since the big 'burp' it had yesterday, It's been clean sailing. The water level has been cherry, no more mess. I hope that was it... JC

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Thanks Dino! We are hoping to take it in for paint this spring... funds permitting.
Next on the list (for the near future) TBI conversion "RE" rebuild the 700r4 (the one in the truck was kind of "frankensteined") ![]()

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Well, it's been awhile since I've posted on this thread. The truck is at the transmission shop (Lisa's brother's shop) and it's getting another 'new' 700r4. I went over there this past Friday, got it up on the lift and pulled the frankenstein trans. Her brother Mario has another 'virgen' 700r4 that he's going to open up and install new clutches and seals for us. I believe we'll have better luck with that one.
After that, it's going to Carlos' (Mario's twin brother) house and we are going to TBI the truck. I finally got all the parts needed to complete that portion of the project. Then it's off to the painter. We are next on his... We can't wait!! ![]()

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Getting a lot done to the truck. What color did you decide on?
I drove my truck last night and today and noticed it spitting some coolant through the overflow line (also smelled it last night). Gonna have to check it out.

![]() As for the colors, Lisa picked a 'pearl torquoise' color that comes on the new Malibus and HHRs. I'm not sure of the name for sure. Then were going with a pearl white top and side trim.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
So we finally got the 700r4 fine tuned. Shifts great and does absolutely awesome on the highway. Runs about 2300 rpm's at highway speed. We ended up taking the '65 to the Rumbler's show in Albuquerque last weekend. She got a little hot in traffic entering the show so the next day we installed a bigger radiator (that her brother happened to have...lucky!!) and the fan shroud. Seems to stay cool now but the real test will be in traffic...
Here's a shot at the Rumblers show... ![]() ![]()

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Not sure of the name of that color. We bought the truck disassembled and it was already that color. It will be changing soon as soon as our painter can fit us in his schedule.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
UPDATE:
The truck is at the painter's!! We took it to him this past Saturday. He started work on it right away. I believe a color has been selected, but I won't announce that yet... Plans may still change, you never know. ![]() I will snap pics as the project progresses... JC62
