Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
I finally found a wire loom that would sort of work. I had to fabricate a bracket, but I used the main part of the loom. It is exactly how I wanted and no more burned plug wires!

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
OK so when are "done" with your truck you start doing things you wanted to do, but needed to get it running right first...so you install an original dash clock...and it works! Of course I forgot to set it after I installed it! DOH! The hardest part was drilling into the dash!
Thanks again to John for finding and sending me this gorgeous clock! I love it! |

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Do those center a/c vents just blow straight forward or can the direction be manipulated? It might be just the angle of that above pic but they look like they're fixed position.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Must be the angle...they rotate 360 degrees in all directions. Here is another pic.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Nice. It was just the angle of the image (along w/the fact they were flush w/the socket/housing @ the time).

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
We did our first car show today since the truck has been back on the road. Had a great time, met lots of new friends. Had about 170 cars/trucks there. Then this evening we took the truck to the local Chevy dealer and snapped a few photos....great day all the way around!

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Bought a new wheel for my spare tire...US Wheel Series 68. I think I can drill it and tap the holes and put my rally wheel center caps on this wheel. I think it is going to look good...15x8" so an inch wider than current wheels..and I bought a 1.5" beauty ring. I need to paint it gunmetal gray also.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Shoot man I thought you had 15x8 rally wheels on the truck already. I have an odd number of 15" rallies off a 80's van I thought were 15x7 and they look narrow in comparison so figured yours had to be 8". I might have to measure mine and see if they are even skinnier.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
5 & 6-lugTruck Ralley wheels were available in 7 & 8" widths. Aftermarket has even more. Van Ralley wheels were 6.5" wide.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
My typical set-ups are Van Ralleys in front; 8" truck Ralleys in the rear on budget set-ups. The 7" wheels are harder to find thus cost more when you do find some & the aftermarket widths wider than 8" are similarly more expensive.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
I put the beauty ring on to see what it was going to look like...I like it a lot. Now I need to find a truck rally center cap for my spare.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
I was thinking of painting them the same color as my wheels now..gun metal gray, but the matte black is a nice look. What do you think?

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
I vote to paint the spare the same color. If you had it up underneath the bed, black would be fine, but since it's on the bedside and visible, making it match would look better in my opinion

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
The spare is a nice finishing touch. I would paint it the same as your wheels.
