My 65 GMC / Chevy Build

WARNING! This build is NOT for the "numbers matching" guys! Basically, I always liked parts of both the GMCs and Chevs, so I put them together to reflect my tastes. This isn't a show truck or anything amazingly nice. Just a nice driver. So here goes...

Just over 2 years ago I found a 65 GMC for sale and decided to take it on. It already had an SBC / TH350 swap done. Little did I know, it would snowball into a full-on project riddled with plenty of fixing of the previous owners' shortcuts.




It looked relatively clean when I got it... more rust than originally revealed though. So... first thing is an altitude adjustment. I used 2" coils in front, but it wasn't low enough. So I ended up taking them back out and cutting a full coil off each one. For the rear, I got the replacement 5" leaf springs.
