TX '65 Short bed chassis bagged with Porterbuilt - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

red02chevy · 11-11-2013, 09:05 AM

I was building a truck for a customer and he lost interested in the project. We striked up a deal and I ended up with the chassis. The plan was to find a clean truck to buy and build with this chassis but I have too much going on right now. Located in Lubbock, TX.

-The good-
'65 short bed chassis
'71 5 lug rear end (unsure of gear ratio)
'85 front cross member, control arms
'73-'87 3" Belltech drop spindles for 1.25" rotors
New ball joints, new control arm bushings included but not installed
New rotors, bearings, seals, dust caps, hardware
Porterbuilt Stage 1 front suspension
Porterbuillt Stage 2 basic rear suspension
2" drop blocks
All rivets removed and replaced with 7/16" grade 8 hardware (to match Porterbuilt parts)

-The bad-
Cab mounts had some rust where the bushing goes, I have them but didn't install them. I wanted to find a cleaner set or fabricate some. They are definitely use able but were not up to my standards.
No rear brakes
I don't have a set of wheels for it. The Cragars were pulled off another build. I believe I have another set of steel 15" wheels so if purchased we would just need to figure something out on tires.

Asking $2250 as is. That basically covers parts and makes labor free.

Not really interested in parting anything out. If anything changes I will definitely keep you in mind though

Damn! Do you need a high end AR15 rifle by any chance?

Cool, I have a few leads on some 60's model trucks but nothing is set in stone so this is currently still available.

Absolutely, you're welcome to come by my shop anytime man. I will PM you my number.

Not really sure. I can measure wheel base or anything else that might help you out. Just let me know.

1963chevyshort · 01-06-2014, 04:16 PM

Yeah messure it cause it would be nice just to drop the chassis on it and go.

**Clyde65** · 01-06-2014, 05:08 PM

It wont fit, the suburban has a longer tail to the frame than a SB.

1963chevyshort · 01-06-2014, 06:26 PM

Clyde65 thanks for the help

Well I guess it wont work for you. I might end up parting it out if you want any parts off it? I am building another chassis for a local guy and I might be using the rear suspension on it.

red02chevy · 01-13-2014, 12:48 PM

bump....

red02chevy · 01-16-2014, 10:40 PM

One last bump before I part it out...
