Re: my 65 fleetside build
There sure aint nothin hillbilly 'bout that truck, or the person that orchestrated the fine job of rebuilding it!
What a sweet ride!

Re: my 65 fleetside build
Betty is resting comfortably in my dad's shop...unfortunately, she's probably been depressed for a long time...this November will be 2 years since she was last on the road...hopefully she'll perk up & not let me down once she's roadworthy again...my dad is slowly making progress on her...hopefully things will speed up this fall/winter when he's not so preoccupied with other stuff

Re: my 65 fleetside build
finally installed the hood with the help of my son, my new wheels came in so we mounted the drag radials and put 235/70s on the front, wish i had went with 275/60s but its too late now, didnt get to go to the track friday but we might be going to steele ala. this weekend and try the 1/4 mile out. you can see i dont have the marker lights in when we took the pics but they are now, seat belts are in and installed the double springs on the carb, should be legal now lol.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
Wow Flips, this just keeps getting better and better... I guess "finished" isnt a term that applies to you.
