New Guy here... This is the new truck

[bulldoze76]

Hey Guys, New to the site. Just picked up a 1965 SWB Fleetside C10. Has a 350/350 Trans.

It has manual everything. I want to put power disc brakes and power steering. Where I live in south florida, I have a HUGE youpullit down the street from me. I was there the other day to look around and found 2 c10's 1980's with all the front end setups. Think I am going to go that route. A/C a must. I dont have anykind of crazy wish list of parts. I just want it to look decent and drive well. Let me know what you think....

I know the pics are a little off. Still messing with the sizes.

Things I would like to do right away....
Power steering, brake swap
AC
gas tank to bed.

Looks like a good start to a fun project.

I picked up a complete front crossmember with brake booster/MC setup with the lines and prop valve still attached and stock wheels with good tires for $100. I tried to get the matching rear axle to swap my entire C20 setup, but he didn't want to pull it yet.

Swapping the front using 73+ parts is not only easy, but cheap, too. Check the brake upgrade FAQ in the 60-66 forum for the parts and options available.

Thanks for the tip. I have that page saved under favorites

Nice! welcome.

I think this might work a little better for pics.

By the way the truck already has the shaved door handles, mirror holes filled, all with metal. I took a magnet over the whole thing. The other owner was pretty good at metal work, did the floors also.

But I have had a few mustangs and one of them had the door poppers on a remote. I never really cared for that. Never seem to always work correctly. What are my other options?

Welcome to the forum

Looks like a decent truck to work with.

I don't have an answer for your door poppers, but I can help you with the PS and PB when you are ready. Links below \/ \/ \/

NICE truck. Slap a chrome grill in that puppy and your good to go.

This is the first time in a few weeks I have had a chance to mess with the truck. Wanted to start going through the truck to see what it needed. I have decided to lower it down. A 4/6 drop with spindles. Power steering and brakes a must. Before all that I have discovered that the PPPI harness was only partly hooked up. No turn signals, tail lights and so on. Once the wiring harness is hooked up properly I will work on the other mods.

The Second pic is the high low foot switch... Made in taiwan? really?
