My new 65 stepside!

[ClemsonChevy]

Today I bought a '65 chevy stepside with 230 I6 from a friend. I also got a '77 suburban he had bought for parts to convert the '65 to disc brakes and power steering. All of this for $900. I put a battery in it and got it started within minutes. He had bought it a couple of years ago and drove it home, but had sat there for about a year. The brake master cylinder was empty, so we put some fluid in and gave it a few pumps (my thigh is still burning) and the brakes began to work. I drove it around the block. Someone had moved the shifter to the floor with a crappy floor cut job. My friend had put a drivers seat from a Chrysler Sebring convertible with integral seat belt. The passenger seat is there but not mounted. Radio hole has been mangled. She has some through rust in the floors and the drivers rear fender. Pictures to follow.
