Re: My 65 Pickemup project
Ya for sure on the plates. It's a 6 truck, O.G. paint with an ultra clean body. A few dents but real solid.
Full Porter Built on 22s is the plan. I found a cool factory spec sheet behind the seat springs. It kinda gave me the low down on the truck.

Re: My 65 Pickemup project
Dude .... it'd fit especially if you continue to use the pool as a back drop.
I like the truck & with the potterbilt stuff .... sweet!! It did look like it sprung apart too. Oh .... is that a smashed up uni in the background?? My old uni:  Ratty 46 Last edited by ratty 46; 06-28-2010 at 11:57 PM. |

Re: My 65 Pickemup project
Haha Pestwagon, good eye. I wish I could get that thing out from under the seat springs in one piece. I have a SBC with a 700R4 for it, just a simple daily driver.

Let me take a look, I think the metal scrap guys may have grabbed it. Maybe not though.

Re: My 65 Pickemup project
22X9 Centerline smoothies.
265/35/22 front and rear. 1956 truck hubcap and clips. I had to modify the caps to fit but in the end was worth it I think. What do you guys think?
