New member New Project
Hello All I'm new to the forum and this will be my first restoration project so I'm sure I'll be asking you a lot of dumb questions. I just bought a 65 fleetside short wheel base that was a partially completed project. Based on my budget and the amount of free time I have I think it will take me at least two years to complete.

Re: New member New Project
Very cool, and welcome. Looks like a nice place to start. What do you anticipate it looking like in two years?

Re: New member New Project
Chevrolet had a factory cup holder option in 1965, unfortunately the front spindle is to far away and the cup was more espresso than morning tankard.
Lot's of good parts to start with, now where do we begin?

Re: New member New Project
I would suggest Captain Fab for your brake booster bracket and ps adapter- unless you already have them.

Re: New member New Project
WElcome to the forum
 I agree, looks like that truck is a good one to start with. What engine and trans does it have? Right now it looks like it doesn't have any brakes at all....no master cylinder in the engine bay pic. Let me know if I can help you with the brakes and steering.
