Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I always wanted to have Corvette door handles, because they fit nice and flush with the contour of the door, and looks almost like it's shaved. I found these handles off a 01 Impala. They are the same as the C-5 Vette handles, except the passengers side has a key also. I wanted these because you still have a mechanical door handle. I cut the hole and fit the handle in place. Now I have to fill in the metal. and make a mount from behind. The hardest part will be making linkage to operate the door latch. I'm thinking of a small bell crank. I know I'm asking for trouble, but I dare to be different.

I thought about that, but didn't do it. Looks nice. I also thought about using a late model inside door handle. They are flush as well.

I know that, but these were original Impala handles, and cheaper than the China ones on E-Bay. Besides I will probably fill the hole in the passenger one.

You should see if you can put a bug engine in it. Now that would be cool.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Pop’s C10,
I have read all of your posts on your build and I have a question about your frame or more specifically, why did you choose to do the frame section where you did? I have a 66 GMC frame and a 79 donor frame and was going to do, pretty much the same type build. However, I am thinking of sectioning the frames together "behind" the original 66 frame’s front two bed mounts (behind being the direction of the rear bumper) and incorporating the original front leaf perch of the 66 frame utilizing the 66 rear perch in place of the 79 rear perch, both of which (66 vs 79) take different width bushings in the leafs. I am also curious about mounting the 73 and up bed and if there are any challenges I should look for in that phase? I anticipate having to fabricate bed bushings/mounts but I wonder about height issues between my 66 cab and the 79 step side bed. Any words of advice? ![]() |

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Words of advice, DON'T DO IT. A lot more trouble than it was worth. I thought I would do it because I'm going to put a 4 link with air bags, and this frame will look better. I had to channel the body over the rear frame. It kicks up sooner than the 65 frame does and restricts the body from sitting level.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Dennis-
I was driving down the road with my kids and their friends and their I-pod going ,when the most annoying song came on . It seems that goofy U-tube frog has a song out . Something called "crazy frog" I think they said a band called Axel F was responsible. I was laughing so damned hard, I pulled over till I could see through the tears . I thought I was done with the annoying thing.......... Bubba

1-I have a 74 short-bed step side I want to use with the dual tanks. 2-I have a long bed and want a short bed. I am starting to think I would be better off finding a short bed frame except my GMC has leaf springs and I like leafs. I don't want to use the coil/trailing arm suspension so my frame selection is minimal. What to do... what to do... ![]() |
