[custom65]

Well, I don't have a build thread for you cause I bought the truck already done, but I'm the proud owner of a 65 fleetside shortbed. I've lurked on this website for some time, but this is my first post. I know most of you build your own trucks, but I just don't have the time these days with working too much and giving the rest of my time to my wife and 3 yo son. I still love driving and tinkering with classics though.

I saw this truck on ebay and it was done in exactly my style... pretty much what it would have looked like if i had picked all the parts myself... except for the big block. I probably would have used a smaller v8 for mileage purposes... but the bb has the cool factor.

So it's a 65 with a 396 hooked to a built up 700r4 and 12 bolt posi rear endwith 373 gears. It's got a static drop with coilovers in the rear and a custom interior and sound system.

Here's some pics....
