Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
That mount cleaned up real nice. Having a sand blaster sure is easier than the wire wheel I used

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
OK, I finished the bed of the truck. I NEVER want to have to take bed liner off again! Going to start sanding tomorrow and see how much green I can get to show. Whatever I get will be clear coated and go from there. I also got a few of the cross sills painted as well as the radiator bracket. Going to try and get the radiator installed tomorrow also.
I'm getting the 64 GMC Sunday...about to get crowded in my driveway...the neighbors are going to love me more. ![]() |

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
OK I mocked up the radiator today. Tomorrow I get my "new" radiator support that I will need to clean up and paint. Even though I cleaned mine up it is rough...so no need to go further until I get the new one. Added bonus the new radiator support has a horn on it too, so hopefully it works.
Took a pic of the radiator temporarily installed. |

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Today was a good day! I got my "new" 64 GMC 1 ton delivered and my black walnut wood was delivered. My buddy John (Johns 66) milled and cut the wood for me and Steve (GMCNUT) delivered it along with the truck! It is weird seeing 2 60's trucks sitting in the driveway...Can't start working on this one until I finish the 65...
Can't wait to start finishing the wood. It's going to look killer! Last edited by roll_the_dice; 08-02-2020 at 10:56 PM. |

Trucks look great! But dang you are crazy! I don’t have enough time to work on 1 truck! Both projects look fun though. Keep it up! Posted via Mobile Device |

All I need to do to get the 64 driving is change out the gas tank (which I have) and put a new master cylinder/bleed the brakes. |

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Put my "new" radiator support on today that I got from John. Thanks John! My old one had some waviness in it (last picture) and had more rust holes than I liked. This one is so much better! I also drilled a 1/4" hole in for drainage in the area that usually rusts out on these. Hope it helps.
Going this afternoon to talk to a shop about exhaust and charging up the A/C. Hope to have the rest of the front end on this weekend. |

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Thanks Christian...I appreciate it.
I stopped at O'reilly's today for a lower radiator hose. They let me go in the back and look at all the ones they had. I found one that I thought would work based on water pump location ...so I took a chance and bought it and came home and it fit perfectly without cutting to size at all! I am stoked about that! Now I just need to find my hose clamps. |

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Looking good!
And I like the new truck too! It would be hard for me to keep my attention on just the one truck lol.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
That lower rad hose is nice! Do you still have the part numbers for both upper and lower hoses? I want to get rid of the crappy looking flexible hoses that I have

The top hose is the one that was on my truck when I bought it. I haven't replaced it yet, but it seems to be in good condition. I cut about 2" off on the engine side from original. I think it is a standard 1 1/2" C10 hose and cut to length. At least the shape looks that way to me. |
