Well I have not had a 64-66 in a while now. I have a project 65 bought that I am planning on picking up next week. I will post pictures when I get it home. It is blue with a 350 and turbo 400. I would like to patina this one but we will see

rebuild 350 with a turbo 400 transmission. I am going to clean it up and straighten it up and leave the body alone. Make it drive and redo the interior and bed floor new tires and such

Ah! The teal blue/green.
One of my favorite colors.

Perfect plan!
Enjoy it. I love these trucks with their natural wear. Even a little banged up with that original color is sweet.

Lookin good! It'll look even better with a bath. Can't have dirty rust!

Ok guys I am going to be start to work on my truck very soon. One question is what color should I do the interior. I am going to leave the body alone other than straightening it up a bit. I was thinking about the original fawn with black carpet and black seat. What do you guys think?

**cwcarpenter98** · 01-25-2021, 07:33 AM

I like what you are thinking on the interior color

**Chevy Fleetside** · 01-25-2021, 12:12 PM

I don't think you should waste the cash on rebuilding the trans if you are just going to drive it. Maybe sink some money into an overdrive. Turbo 400's use a good amount of HP to turn them. Unless you plan on doing a lot of towing.

I need to learn to spell. The 350 in it is rebuilt and he said the 400 trans. was good.

I have a set of rallies wheel found if I use them what color should I paint them?
