1965 SWB Custom score!! another barn find thread! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**JQ-72** · 07-16-2009, 08:59 AM

I got a lead on this truck earlier in the year and just bought it last week. Same owner since 1967 - Custom Cab with 6 cyl and powerglide. 59K miles with a few dents, but 95% rust free!!!

sweet! great find...what's the plan for it?

**JQ-72** · 07-16-2009, 09:55 AM

I got it home and gave it a good cleaning. The seat had an old grungy cover on it. I could see some of the original material through a small tear, so I pulled the seat cover off and found the original Custom Cab seat in near perfect shape!!

Looks like a good score. Check in the seat springs for the build sheet.

very nice find.
I love the black one you owned previously, going the same route with this one?
not that is needs anything, i would gladly drive it as is

Oh and what did she cost ya?

Joemomma1 · 07-16-2009, 12:34 PM

Short bed and bbw is the only way to go. Very nice.

Dinos63 · 07-16-2009, 12:35 PM

Pantina paint,big window,custom...... Lucky!!!! Dude that is such a killer find holly shhhhhhhh

Dinos63 · 07-16-2009, 12:37 PM

TopFuel1966 · 07-16-2009, 12:42 PM

283 Man · 07-16-2009, 01:14 PM

nice truck good find.....

SCOTI · 07-16-2009, 01:38 PM

Nice, very nice. Plans?

**JQ-72** · 07-16-2009, 02:09 PM

Thanks guys!. I'm definitly keeping it. I am planning on building another stocker (like the black 65 I had). I already have a 66, but the body on this one is sooo much better. I may transfer all the goodies off my 66 on to this truck - like power steering, power brakes, A/C. I have a factory 327 in my 66, but it sure would look cool to have a truck with all the options with a 6 cyl!!
I can't reveal how much I paid - I'll get accused of taking advantage of an old lady

. However, she wanted me to make her an offer but I wouldn't. I made her price it and I paid it in full!!

Apache63 · 07-16-2009, 02:54 PM

**Chevy Fleetside** · 07-16-2009, 06:47 PM
