I just picked this 1964 Fleetside custom
No running gear was an Auto Non PS/PB
.
I'm going to merge this very rusty (Michigan) 02 silverado

Are you saying you're going to put it on the silverado frame?

Yes.?

I think I would try to keep the original frame. The frames on the '99-'07 trucks are very bad about rusting through.
If you are set on using the '02 frame, make sure it doesn't have serious rust issues in the boxed areas.

Stance on the newer is 6” wider than the 60-66

The '88 and up frames are drastically different from the '63-'87 frames. You are in for a LOT of fabricating and work.

LostMy65 · 06-23-2019, 12:54 PM

Btw... The fender emblems are from a 66.

66x3 · 06-23-2019, 03:26 PM

Very rusty?!?! Man if you were from Michigan that would be considered a pretty darn clean truck! No rust on the box,rockers still on, that thing must have migrated your way a long time ago.

66x3 · 06-23-2019, 03:27 PM

Cab corners too!

Softpatch · 06-23-2019, 11:26 PM

Thank you for that ....
The dash cluster should have been a give a way.
you are correct it is indeed a 1966 not a 1964.

and thanks for the heads up on the wider frame on the 02
.

LostMy65 · 06-24-2019, 03:55 PM

Personally, I think the 66 is best of the generation.
If you decide to skip the frame swap idea, are wanting to stay with the 3/4 ton, or were you thinking of converting it to a 1/2 ton?

Softpatch · 06-25-2019, 12:11 AM

I don't have a clue.?
I have a problem I like to rescue cars/Trucks that have been passed on.

The 02 silverado 1500 was a $200 truck its is rusty it has a 4.3 and a 4L60E
Trans need love
it's to light for what a need..

the 66 custom was rusting in a yard under a pine tree the owner just wanted the Drive trane 454/T400
then back out under the tree..... I had to save it
.
not my favrote yr I'm a knee knocker guy
.
My old truck
