Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks for looking in. I got the bed all bolted down, fuel door installed, fuel tank mounted back in and the rear wheels put on. I hope to take it and have the frontend aligned this week and finish the exhaust.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
I like the smaller box , as it looks less intrusive . But just to mess with your head , what about painting it the same colour as the arches .

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks a lot Martin. I knew someone would put that idea out there. I looked for a steel box that I could paint gray to match but could not find one I liked. Not to sure if the paint will stick that well to tread plate aluminum.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks DKO. Yes it is. I am about ready for a cruise maybe next week. Also decided to use this box for now as it was not to expensive.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Man I haven't checked your build in a while. It looks awesome. I love the way the paint brings it together.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks Eric. I got the bumper installed. Still need to fab some outer brackets. I modified the inside ones so the bumper would sit closer to the truck.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
truck looks beautiful Donny... I think the diamond plate accents the polished strips and looks good until you figure out a permanent solution. Did you secure it to the floor somehow, sure wouldn't want it moving around.
nice job, time to enjoy the fruits... |

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks Clem. And yes I just ran bolts thorough the bottom where some bolts held down the strips. And put rudder strips between box and stainless strips.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks guys for all the positive comments. And all the help that I have received on this forum. I can't tell you how many questions I have had answered on here that helped with my build. It is slowly coming to and end I am taking in in the morning for a frontend alignment and finish the exhaust. Then it will get a small road trip to see how everything works.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
I am going to paint the GMC letters and the border circle gray. Then the rest silver. I still have a lot to do on the gate. It had just been sand blasted so I need to weld up some holes and body work.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Can't wait to see it . The truck looks awesome . I think anyone looking out of the window and seeing it on there drive would be very happy . The best part is its your own work .

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks Martin. It might not be the best body work and paint but like you said it is very satisfying knowing that I did it myself.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Not sure about you brother, but I am my own worst critic...
You are doing an amazing job and the Tailgate will be the icing on the cake...
