![]() I got the rear shock upper perches changed out. This is what I use to gring the head of the rivet off. ![]() Then knock it out. It is really easy to do with the bed off. ![]() The rear end is almost done just need the spring retainers from CPP. Nothing is tight yet. I will wait till it's on the ground before torquing. ![]() ![]() Since there is not much to do to the frame. I worked on getting the AC box mounted. ![]() There is a clearance issue wth the cowl vents. I think I can bend the handle down. There is a cover that covers the lines that I have removed for now. ![]()

Re: My 1965 build thread
Still waiting on CPP parts to finish up the frame.
![]() I drilled holes and put pieces of thread all in the holes and welded the top of the rod even with the dash and ground flat. I had to put 1"extensions (washers) because the nut was too close to the duct so I couldn't tighten it up. With the extension it worked great. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: My 1965 build thread
I still haven't got my parts from CPP. I called today and was told that one item is back ordered. They should have relayed the info. That might be the problem with others not getting their items in a reasonable time.
I did get something in the mail today. I got this off of ebay. It's a serpentine setup. It came with everything (including bolts) except a water pump. I've got to see which water pump I have to use. It is in awesome visual shape. It is used, but at a 1/4 the cost, right now I call it a great deal. ![]() I also started to work on one of the bedsides. I'm welding up the joints for a smoother finish. ![]() ![]()

Re: My 1965 build thread
Jump around with the welds to keep the heat down. I stayed on my welds too long. I knew better. I should have kept my weld lenght to under an inch. It made a few bumps that I tapped down. The metal in those areas are strong unlike in the middle of the panel. Don't forget clean metal. I can't remember if you have any welding experience or not.

Re: My 1965 build thread
I ordered on November 19 and found out yesterday (Dec 1) it is back ordered. I'm chomping at the bit to get them. Once I get them the frame will be rolling.
Thanks David. I feel so close but yet so far away from completion.

I've got a list of parts that I need for my 383. I built it, but then took alot of stuff off of it to get another engine running. The 383 has about 500 miles on it. The parts list is just a bunch of nickel dime things. I need another small block that I could pelfer off of. Hey sdailey are you home? You've got a small block right. ![]() ![]()

Re: My 1965 build thread
Here is the 383 as it sits now. It's been on the stand for about 8 years bagged up.
![]() ![]() The temp gauge is fixed. ![]() ![]() I figured out how to roll the speedo back. The zeros are in the wrong position on the shaft which is easy to fix, but then I ran into a bigger problem. ![]() The housing was froze up. I eventually got it freed up. ![]() The needle was froze up on the shaft which eventually broke. It had to be removed to take the speedo apart. I don't think I can repair the pin. Anybody got a speedo for sale? Ebay here I come. ![]() speedo exploded view ![]()
