Re: I got new (to me!) 65
progress !!!
I was waiting to get the title before working on this truck, it came so now I have it almost ready for the road.
I worked on the fenders last week, I got two that only needed minor rust repair on the braces and corners. If I had the cash, I would have just bought repros and been done with them , but I have more time than money!\
I found a seafoam green at walmart that almost matches the original blue-green, it is closer to forest service green though, but it is still better than orange, blue, yellow and red!
I got a c/60-80 grille at the wrecking yard, it is the same size,you just have to take the letters off the top, and the headlight mount/grillemount had to be switched out with a c/10
I also got a good bedside, and a good tailgate for $125.
When I put the battery in every thing worked! Well sort of, I need to put a muffler on it , and I need to undo the trailering (imagine a ball if twine)harness they have in the back.
