65 Pirate truck
So I picked up this 65 Long fleetside just a few days ago. I don't have a clear cut plan for this truck just yet. She is rocking a GM rebuilt 350 with 4 on the floor. She will be a work horse truck with power when I am done with her.

Re: 65 Pirate truck
I just order a 3/5 performance lowering kit with sway bars, led taillights, C-notch, Hood patch panel, and ploy bushings for the rear arms.

Re: 65 Pirate truck
I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks with the 3/5 drop. My truck is sitting at about the same height yours is right now.

Re: 65 Pirate truck
I can't wait to see how it drives with sway bars. If it handles great then no p/s

Re: 65 Pirate truck
Started on the c notch today. It hasn't been very easy ripping all the old wood and rusted bolts. Tomarrow I will cut and install the right side and start on the left. Once both are in I am going to weld not bolt it in. I will later box the frame to add strength. I also found out why the ebrake doesn't work and a bad brake cylinder.
