Subbed and nice looking build. Also Welcome aboard!

Re: 65 long fleetside
 

Thank you...I've been stock piling parts in anticipation to finally get her done...

Re: 65 long fleetside
 

Nice start! I like the yellow on these trucks. It seems we are going in similar directions with our builds. I like the bed wood!

Re: 65 long fleetside
 

Getting closer...

Cool build. Following along on this one.

Re: 65 long fleetside

I really like your method for preserving metal along with patina.

Re: 65 long fleetside
 

Thanks...been working on her for a few months...almost time to fire the Mighty Mouse...283 .030...HO 305 heads...decent cam...thats why I put a 8k tach in the guage cluster...lol

Re: 65 long fleetside
 

Few more things done tonight...primed the motor...filled the trans...connected the shifter cable...finished the steering wheel...getting closer...my wife didn't even complain much when I took her baking pan for the shifter pedastal...lol

Re: 65 long fleetside
 

Progress is break neck fast and precise. Which wiring harness are you using on the truck?

Re: 65 long fleetside
 

We're working pretty hard on her Bomp...I used a 145.00 harness from Speedway out of Lincoln, Ne. Works really well...very nice inexpensive well made harness.

Re: 65 long fleetside
 

And now we have a fan...

And a shot of my son's Cherokee

Re: 65 long fleetside
 

Few more things done tonight...bled the brakes...wired electric fuel pump and fuel line...fixed the horn...just little stuff that's time consuming...plumbed the power steering...and filled the radiator...nice temporary overflow tank...lol

Re: 65 long fleetside
 

Little more work done...windshield with trim installed...wiper arms and blades...overflow bottle mounted up...rear view mirror hung...looks lIke it's becoming an actual truck

Re: 65 long fleetside
 

Not much work on the truck the past day or two...did get the original sun visors cleaned up and mounted...

Wanted to say hi to everyone at MFRC...Stay the Course...

Re: 65 long fleetside
 

You're kicking some serious butt! Nice truck!

Re: 65 long fleetside
