Re: my 65 fleetside build
came home and fitted the rocker panel, its almost ready to weld in and the cab should be done as far as rust goes. it would be nice to have nos rockers the ones i have just dont fit good as you can see all the bends are round instead of sharp as you can see in the pics. i did figure out how to fix that problem though once i got them tacked in i took my torch and heated them the with the help of a hammer i persuaded them into place.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
My rockers were the same way flips. I tacked mine into place and took a dull chesel and hammered the corners in nice and tight. Your interior looks like a show truck to me right now. Im like you though, im not much on that gold fawn factory color. Im pretty sure mines going to be painted a medium charcoal gray factory color inside. gray and white seat. If you hurry and get yours done inside with red I can see how it looks just incase I want mine red inside also,

Re: my 65 fleetside build
Wow, You really are getting a lot done! Are you getting rid of the gas tank in the cab? I hope you post pics of the cab being taken off the frame. Thats a lot of fun, LOL. I got to figure out how to measure, mark and drill my holes in the doors, cab, and bed for the side chrome. I been wondering how that custom cab molding mounts to the side of the cab also, any pics? I want to add that to my truck but I dont have any moldings yet.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
i did the same as 66farmer! i cut it out as much as i could along the bottom an without cutting the back piece that much! flips the patches look killed almost cant tell if it wasnt for the black and primer, lol! you did a good job on it, the 60/40 bench was the same thing i'm gonna do! seen on craigslist a power driver seat split bench for $150 but no way to get ahold of the guy!

Re: my 65 fleetside build
well i got a 88-94 bench seat in it now and i was thinking of using the driver seat frame from it to fix the passenger middle of the 60/40 its shaped different! these seats are pretty much a bolt in! but i still need to find a 60/40 seat thats in good shape! i can get the newer seats for a 1999-200? power seats for $250 for the whole set or $150 for cloth manual seats, the manual seats the middle dont fold down! i already bought two 4 point harness for the driver and passenger but the wife dont want it, so i bought two lap belts for the passenger and middle, i'm keeping the 4 point harness for the driver seat! when i get the big back glass in then i'll have pictures of my interior, as of right now my cab floors are done but the rockers and have sound deadner over it, i just need to buy carpet and odds and ends for the inside to be done! but for right now it is being used as a storage for my parts!! anyways your truck is coming along great, wish i could say the same but i'll get there before to long!!

Re: my 65 fleetside build
Hey flips, if you're into having loud tunes, I used the brackets to mount some MTX speaker boxes behind the seat. Nice job on the interior reconstruction, by the way.

My... I cannot wait to see that! I also cut my lower tank mounts as far back as the bolt heads. In retrospect I wish I had left the upper strap mounts alone as I ended up having to patch the back of my cab wall from the holes I put in it.
