Some Shots of my 65
No full shots, just a few important ones. Everything
has a surface rust to it but solid as a rock. I found a hole in the body. Inside cab drivers side under the vent. I guess the water from wet feet ran down the side and sat. Not even fixing it, a little silicon and I'll keep a floor mat behind the seat just in case I ever get caught in the rain. I forgot to shoot the dent on the R.R.1/4. Not an issue, but first things first. Get a ride in, figure out any mechanical issues. Then I am taking it and the wife up to the abandoned Gravel Quarry behind my house and watch for shooting stars  oo's a few too many images, I'll post a couple more in a reply

Re: Some Shots of my 65
Looks like it had a pampered life! Can't see any steering wheel cracks and looks like the original shocks, too.
Don'tcha just wanna tear into it? Last edited by damnyankee36; 02-19-2010 at 10:39 AM. |

Re: Some Shots of my 65
thanks man. I am on a LOW BUDGET
 . Actually I ama dead man come end of month when the NAPA Statement comes in the mail. But I have been killed so many times it never hurts anymore. My restore will include an oil spray under side, shocks, fix the 4 area's of body plus all the mirror holes and touch up paint in those area's. I have dreams of power front disc's and 4 matching farm tires. It's got 2 new fronts and some kick-A$$ snows on the rear that will safety fine. Then paint the bumpers and hub caps. Some stock mirrors and she'll pretty much stay as is for the time I own it. I plan on yanking out the engine and painting it up real nice, as long as it proves itself this summer. I love the shifter how it pops out, can you see me in Sears walking with my shifter in my hand, great theft deterrent, plus I could whack some white trash with it too. I have an electric fence power suppy i want to add to it. Can I hook that up so you get a ZAP if you touch it? It's only 6 volt tho... |

Re: Some Shots of my 65
Oh ya, something bad happened too...
Ever heard the saying, a square peg in a round hole before? I scuffed the brand new 400 dollar camera last night, on the tailgate. Not on the bottom, or side, but right on the front. No need to go in for a colonoscopy now, man was she Pi$$ed. Everytime I fart my differential flashes now? |

Re: Some Shots of my 65
Mostly Original, someone took the motor and put
in a replacement. Paint is all original, thanks for the welcome you guy's. I couldn't turn it down and I paid a small fortune for it. Luckily I got some inheiritance from dad years ago I have been saving to spend wisely. It was the first one I looked at too. I looked at a few others in the 5 K range and they were tough. To date I am just under 8 grand into it, too much? Maybe to some, but it is well a preserved survivor of the 60's. My first car ever with no BONDO I don't thinkthe plastic loom is stock, is it?

Re: Some Shots of my 65
Thanks agian for more photos of an original survivor! Your truck photos answers alot of questions on they way they were built. Trucks with good original paint and good original seat upholstry are hard to come by at any price. One more to do items would be to touchup the steering wheel . When the original fawn paint wears off the wheel, the ugly black begins to shows thru.The plastic wire loom is someones add on, the factory just taped them.The west coast painted mirrors are a factory option.The only other thing I see is someone did a typical quickie repaint to the hubcaps. Here is a photo of how your hubcap looked before the rookie with a spraycan got to it.
