Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Those seats are sweet!
I looked back through your thread but did not see where you mentioned what those seats came out of.... sorry to ask if you have already said but I really like the looks of them.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Thanks TJ. I like them having the seat belts built in. I am going to have to beef up where they bolt to floor but I think that will be easy.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
My new rocker panels and fender patches came in today.
I had to go back to work so it will be a few days before I can start welding them in.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
It has been awhile since I have made an update. Between the winter weather and the rust that I keep finding on my cab I have not made any progress. When the snow and ice leaves if it every does I am going to bring my other cab in the shop and start pulling it apart. Maybe it will not have as must rust as this one.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
That was my first truck it has a 6 cylinder powerglide. The PO was about to send it to the crusher so I saved it. It looks like it will be most of the build except for the roof.

Stay Warm… We're forecast to get 2-4 more inches of Frozen Sunshine Monday into Tuesday and my motivation Factor is about -10... On the bright side, this coming weekend is forecast to me in the mid 50's... Looking forward to some truck time!!!
