my 65 fleetside build

[McMurphy]

Wow !!
That bad boy is really coming together... looks awesome!
Your front and back window chrome really pops too, it really catches the eye and trims out the cab very nicely!

You could be rolling down the road in it very soon eh?

[flips72]

thanks guys, and yep driving it to church next sunday....... i hope.

[allaboutchevelles]

WOW, Very nice Flips. Truck looks Great. How did the drive to church go? I know your very happy to have it almost done and driving again. You missed a nice day at the charlotte auto fair. We went and had a good time and saw some nice cars and trucks.

thanks McMurphy, the video was for chad, he was always asking for a video and i kept promising but never could figure out how to load it on this site, but we did figure out how to do it on you tube, if anyone can tell me how i will make a driving video and try to post it, heck maybe even a burnout video

[flips72]

pulled my steering column back out sat. and shortened it three inches, with the help of my brother and our friend mark, maybe i can get it back in next week and get the hood on it, then i will post some more pics.

i cant wait for those videos, you could always have your kid ride with you and video it and then have them stand on the side of the road as you do the burnout video!!

[strokerPop]

Wow! spent the last couple of days going thru your build, and I, like the rest, thought the original truck looked great.....but now its beyond beautiful!

Love the color choice, the American Racing wheels are my all time favorite, and the thread here. I appreciate your effort.

But what I really want to say is.....when you pull out of the driveway, and hit it just a little, don't you feel 20 years younger!

Thanks for sharing Flip.

[Modges'66]

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

X2 nothing Hillbilly about that truck...more like a mountain man's Rolls Royce

all this Hillbilly talk got me to thinking about these songs:

as for Flips, I gotta admit from listening to that video, I think he's got a Hillbilly bone

Blake Shelton - Hillbilly Bone [feat. Trace...

and I think many of us good ole Southern boys' 60-66 trucks could relate to this:

Brooks & Dunn - Hillbilly Deluxe - YouTube

[likaroc13]

and since I figured it out, this one's just for you "flips72"

sounds like a plan, that is if i can get them to turn loose fo the dash long enough to video

thanks strokerpop, the torque thrust wheels are hard to beat, they have always been my favorite, and yes its like a fountain of youth, but come to think of it, it did cause a few gray hairs as well

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

[flips72]

sounds like someone might be praying for a blizzard
