It's finally done!
After 19 months in the garage we finally finished our '65 swb.
We did a complete off chassis restoration, dropped a 468 BB and 700R4 tranny in, eaton posi unit with moser axles, 4 wheel disk brakes, power steering, 4/6 drop and underbed 23 gal. tank. We went with the old skool look. |

Re: It's finally done!
Very nice. It's a good thing we don't live in the same town, 'cause I'm hoping to have my '66 looking kinda like that someday

Re: It's finally done!
Thanks for all the good comments. I'll post more pics when I get the chance.
We weighed the truck the other evening....4015 pounds of American Steel l!!! We hope to make a couple of passes at the local drag strip this weekend to see what it'll do in the quarter. I'll keep you posted. |

Re: It's finally done!
We didn't get a chance to make a pass this weekend. It started raining about 10 minutes before the race was scheduled to start. I'll let ya'll know how it does.
Tires and wheels: 15x6.5 GM steel wheels front with 215 65 BFG Radial T/A front 15x8 GM steel wheels with 275 60 BFG Radial T/A rear. Paint is 3 coats of Dupont jet black with 3 coats of matte clear. The clear is not as flat as we wanted it but looks good. If I did it again I would go with a clear with flattener in it. I'll post more pics later. |
