[PowerdbyChevy79]

Worked on make my 65 a short bed...should have her done by next week...

[glos55]

Washed it with Comet Cleanser

[jayoldschool]

Put my hubcaps on and stared at it for awhile as the sun started to set...

[crowdaddy]

Pulled the front left rim off the headlight. Cut some slip washers for the square rim. Drained a quart from my engine, added a quart of MMO, drove it around the woods smokin like a chimney. Drained it out, wow mud. Black oil, still looks dirty, just changed it two weeks ago, drove less than 5 miles. Sat for 12, maybe more, years. I love this truck.

[Lowl!f3]

Started pancake on the crossmember.

if its all original and untouched that truck will be a show stopper even with the dirt, that is "real" barnyard dirt=$$$$. engine bay interior,etc we could use it as a template for correct placement of stuff. let me guess 64C10 step sbw and umm L6 3speed...

Pimpston, It's been in the family since 1964. Two owners, same family. Painted once, very close to original paint color. Not for sale, sorry, but thank you for asking. She is a smoker, rings, and valves maybe. I'm still cleaning the engine out. I will get some more pics soon. She is a keeper. The engine is scheduled for a rebuild July 1st. 230, L6 3speed, c-10 step short, metal bed over wood.

I started mocking up my engine ready for the install will need to sort out engine mounts as it's a 307 from a Chevy caprice with a th350





Hi I got a delivery today one box arrived from the states. It had my cab floor supports . The inner and outer rockers are to follow



And even better I got my tickets for my holiday ( vacation) to Florida so big cases at the ready for a shopping list , as I am going to be in Florida in October and the NSRA Southeast Street Rod Nationals in Tampa are on . Has any body been and is there many stalls to get parts

[Captainfab]

It looks like you have an Oldsmobile 307. You might have to fabricate something for the engine mounts. If it was a Chevy 307 it would be simple.

Hooked up the Loker shifter linkage. Test fitted the headers so i can get them ceramic coated. Put insulation around gas tank area in the cab so I can fab some speaker mounts.

Today I will test fit the seats and put the insulation in or go to the gym, then watch the nascar race and the the USA world cup game. Decisions decisions.

I am quite jealous of you attending these shows.

Nicola suggested you find someone from the forums who is going, and attach yourself to the underside of their truck on the entry.

Maybe a bit like this....... like an illegal alien

Whoa that 4x4 rubs good! But you got him on both runs. Any times SLIPS? Or just for bragging rights

All just for fun. I could not get any traction off the line. Never did look at the speedo, hoping I would see it on the video but can't make it out.
Will definitely be going back in the fall.

I loaded my sons bike and mine and drove it to a friends house in Lafayette Ca to install a ceiling fan and then go for a ride. OH yeah had to feed her too.

[donthekawguy]

Got the drivers side LCA, spring and spindle on. Had to drill out the holes for the bigger u bolts. All the hard stuff done! Tomorrow calipers new pads, dust sheild, new ruber brake lines. I found out I need to shorten my steering shafy about an inch but I'll get to that later.

New buddy bucket covers installed (with heaters).
