Re: My 65 Pickemup project
No problem Gary, I paid 2 G for it. Found it on Craigslist in Modesto. They are still out there I guess. I was looking for a BBW but couldn't resist this one because it was so clean. I'll get some pics up tonite, I started to reassemble.

Re: My 65 Pickemup project
That is so bad@$$! I planned on putting 22s on my 63 but was still debating 'cause the roads here in Ohio are horrible and the steelies and whitewalls I have on it now look pretty cool. Seeing your truck swallowing up those wheels has me leaning back towards 22s again. Did you get a set of hood hinges from Nate also?

Re: My 65 Pickemup project
Yeah the hinges are really nice. I have a set waiting to go onto my truck. Are you going to use any kind of inner fender?

Re: My 65 Pickemup project
Well I didn't get as much done as I wanted but it's a start. Fresh ring, pinion, bearings and seals. I like having a day off, it's fun.

Re: My 65 Pickemup project
Delmo, is your truck a small hump floor or a high? If its a small what do you plan to do for clearance of the bell-housing. Just asking for idea's, mines a small hump floor.
Thanks |

Re: My 65 Pickemup project
Hey bro, mine is a high hump floor. Are you having clearance issues with the small hump? I suppose I would fab up a new tunnel using the original flange if I had. I just assumed I would have tons of room with the high one, hope thats the case. Let me know how you make out.

Re: My 65 Pickemup project
Well i might just look for a high hump section to replace mine to keep it factory looking. If its just a small issue i will cut out and fab a section in. I have'nt got to the drivetrain install yet just trying to prepare.
Thanks man |

Re: My 65 Pickemup project
What trans are you planning to run? I have a TH400 in my Suburban with a small hump. Even though my engine is a little forward of stock, I believe it would fit in the stock location.
