Re: '65 SWB Patina Build
Spent a few hours cutting the driver door bottom off to put in a patch panel. Fitment was absolute ****, and the replacement lines didn't even match the door.
Pretty frustrating. I'm going to make it work, somehow... |

Re: '65 SWB Patina Build
Door patch is starting to look decent, after a TON of work. Ended up having to cut the fold of the door skin back to get the old stuff out which was rusted to the skin. Spot welded the patch panel to the outside skin, i'll grind it down and then fold the skin back down and weld. Ughhh. So much for a $60 panel. Fit was absolute ****.

Re: '65 SWB Patina Build
Thanks, I love this picture. My buddy said I shouldn't even C notch it, rear end is resting on the frame in this picture.
Driver side door is finished. My buddies dad did the finishing work on it at his body shop. Also put in new door hinge pins. |

Re: '65 SWB Patina Build
Basically it would sit as it aired out all the way. Ride height would be a few inches higher, which would have no effect on ride quality. Notching would just allow me to set it down a little lower.

Re: '65 SWB Patina Build
Well I decided to ditch the 80 and go with a semi built 60 instead.

Ordered a PSI harness today. And if my VA money comes in the next few days I'll be purchasing a Circle D converter!

Re: '65 SWB Patina Build
Been jammin right along on the truck. Not sure what color to paint the interior. Thinking a cherry red to match the wheels?

Re: '65 SWB Patina Build
I think that would be too dark.
Charcoal or fawn....Just my opinion.

Re: '65 SWB Patina Build
I've been working on the brakes all weekend, adapting the 88-98 1500 stuff to my truck.
Essentially used a secondary bellcrank behind the brake pedal which actually attaches to the booster pushrod.

Re: '65 SWB Patina Build
Need to flip the loop on the 3/16 line (although it would probably work fine as is). I just got tired and didn't get to it.

Re: '65 SWB Patina Build
I took all my old brake lines out and replaced the lot with copper, you can't cut corners with brakes if you would ask me.
Nice looking patina truck

I have a york 210 and I used a 24" stainless leader hose to a 1/2" check valve to 1/2" DOT plastic line. I dont expect any problems. Copper is good too but be sure to have a vibration/movement joint in there, copper work hardens in high vibration environments. My buddy ran all copper on his truck air system and it kept breaking at one bend after about 4 months.
