not so new guy checking in....
Well hello everyone... this is my first post in this fourm, I have been lerking around for a while, so time to post my 1965, I have been getting alot of great ideas for my truck by some of the trucks in this fourm mainly..
Delmo's, Dino's, desertrat "simplegreen" truck and others...
My dad had a 1964 short bed v8 three on the tree when I was a kid but got sold, but thanks to my father-in-law now I have one of my own.

I have a 86 k5 that Iam building in the 73-91 fourm, so this 65 will be a slow build but it will get done in time, For now Iam just daily driving it.

here is my 1965 shorty







here is the real owner of this 65

Welcome to the forum
