Re: my 65 fleetside build
huh.......
sorry i was drooling, lol!! that motor is very nice, its going to sound so awesome once you start it up!! the frame is looking good as always!! i've been thinking about some valve covers like that but i've been changing my mind alot lately! i was thinking about finned valve covers but everyone has then now, plus they would need to be cleaned to much for me!! its always good to go fishing, everyone needs a break now and then, but i'm with allabout i want to see pictures, lol!!

Re: my 65 fleetside build
motor and trans is sitting in the frame, headers are just stuck on the heads to get some idea if the angle plug heads are going to work with them, i think they will be fine, well heres the pics

Re: my 65 fleetside build
So I will bet that going to have another look this morning was the first thing you did, looks awesome flips, obviously plenty of tedium left to do, but this progress has got to feel good!!

Re: my 65 fleetside build
Seriously you are looking good here Flips! I envy you the stage you are at now with reassembly!
Is there a reason behind the tall versus the low profile valve covers? Is it looks or is there a critical function involved?

Re: my 65 fleetside build
Thanks for the reply Flips, my engine has stock short valve covers so I guess I will be Ok with getting new ones of the same height.
I want to ask before I order, so I dont make any costly boo boos.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
flips- looking at your motor, the transmission mount should be turned around and upside-down! it should be inside the frame rails, on the bottom lip and it curves back to the motor!! the trans bracket straddles the rubber mount, if that makes sence to you!!

Re: my 65 fleetside build
Looking good Flips. Thats the spot, right there in the first 2 pics>perfect place for the video camara when you fire that beast up so we can hear it loud and clear from those headers!! LOL . your getting so close. If I can finish my brake lines then ill be putting my motor in soon. Keep up the good work.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
flips do you have any other pics of how you did your tach? i'm really liking the way that looks in there, and think i'm going to steal that idea for my truck as well!! where did you get your billet dash knobs at??

i did get my carpet and it looks real good and fits great, also worked on the wiring some more and installed the rear window, waiting on more parts, my power steering pump wont work with the new brackets because of where the return line exits the rear of the resivoir, and i decided to just go with the manual brake set up for now, i got it mounted, maybe i can get the rest of my lines run next week and bleed the system and check for leaks. hopefully i can set up the hydroboost system later after i get it together, that will give something to do on one of those boring weekends ![]()

Wish your camera had not crapped out on you, would like to see it. I would also like to see what soultions you come up with for the hydroboost. I messed with mine this weekend some as well. I will post pics on my thread of it as soon as I get some stuff from the hardware store, hopefully today!

Re: my 65 fleetside build
well i know how you feel about the camera, it has happened to me a couple times since i started my thread!
my seats i have are both from 90's model trucks a bench and the 60/40, if i can get my 60/40 to be the same color gray as the bench then i would be good, i'm still debating on the mexican blanket thou, if i dont like how they come out i'm only out $15 so its not that big of a deal!! i still need to get the rest of the stuff for the hydroboost for my truck as well, mostly the hoses and the pump and thats it! i did order those valve covers i was talking about and the matching timing cover, painted my 7qt. oil pan to match and but need to get a few more thing before i update my thread with the install pictures!! i still need to order my wiring harness, how are you liking the aaw wiring harness?? did you buy the crimping tool from them or ??
