65 K-10 not quite orginal

[62jimmy]

Truck is looking awesome. Love the color combo! Did you use a kit for the AC or did you just put it together yourself?

[dodgiesdad]

Using a mix of parts from old air products and factory 90's to 00's Chevy parts.

[66ChevyMax]

Love the colors!

[dodgiesdad]

It been awhile and progress has been slow. Started wiring, fuse block, instruments, and heater/ac controls in. Apologize for the quality of the pictures will have to get some better ones for you all.

This truck is coming along great!

[dodgiesdad]

Clearer interior pictures. Trying to make small amounts of progress every day.

[RANDY COX]

Very nice and I like the colors too...

[dodgiesdad]

Thanks for the compliment! We are trying hard to do it right and not rush.

[sampsmit000]

looks good

[dodgiesdad]

Finished all wiring except for the front clip. Working at getting the interior done.
Ordered windshield for last Friday and it arrived with a scratch so I have another new one coming this week.

Are those seats from a ford? Nice work also. Been lurking at your build for a while

[dodgiesdad]

Not Ford although that would not have stopped me. They are actually out of a 2004 Silverado. I wanted the built in shoulder belts and a fold down center console. Would have fit and did run them with no modifications before I tore the truck down. I did slightly modify the mounts on the center console when I reinstalled them.

Looks very nice !

[dodgiesdad]

Thanks for the positive comments I keep thinking if I would have known it was going to turn out this nice I would have done this and that different. Added a Retrosound radio with USB and AUX inputs which I mounted in my center console.

the truck is looking great , what is the color , I like it

[dodgiesdad]

Well as you might have noticed from the other trucks in the pictures I am a bit of a Dodge guy so I used Dodge colors. The body is Mango Tango PVG/HVG, the top, interior, grille surround and what will be between the trim on the sides is Billet Metallic PSC/JSC, the Dash is Bright silver Metallic PS2/WS2 but it was shot with a satin clear coat (hopefully less glare).

Got the motor fired with the new harness, now off to chase gremlins. Have a few electrical issues, I am betting on grounds we will find out. My daughter posted a video on facebook, this should link you to it.

Twas not even a dream in 1965! Great combo.

Making progress, a few views from last night. Heading out to work on it more soon.

Looking very nice

[DPowers]

It is looking good. What is the clock from?

[dodgiesdad]

Thank you for the compliments. As to the clock, sadly I do not remember right now, but I am pretty sure it was a 195_ something Chevy car (Bel Air?).

[dodgiesdad]

Although he is not quite done. Still have a little more paint, a few final details, and chase done some small issues. It brings me great pleasure after 2 years 3 months and 9 days to introduce Jack to you. My kids named him, I vetoed their first choice of "the great pumpkin".

Nice looking!!!!

[dodgiesdad]

Bed floor installed today. Hard maple from a tree I cut down, planed, and finished myself. Dual 3" pipes went in yesterday, fully welded very pleased with the sound.
