Well got lots of work done the past week . Did lots of research about this and everyone said don't but I had too. After finding the donor truck with new tranny and new clutch and motor that only has 10000 kms on it the battle began . It was not as tough as most would think worked out really good to Me.

Looks good, might have to pop over and take a look.

Ronzo · 12-03-2014, 02:17 PM

Did you shorten the box too?
And, is that the cab I saw in your garage this summer?
I still need to grab those bezels for my stepside.

chevycowboy1985 · 12-03-2014, 02:22 PM

Ya that's the cab and yes I shorting the box but it's in real bad shape and found a couple different set I found

Ronzo · 12-03-2014, 02:26 PM

The stepside box will look good on there.

Jeff La · 12-04-2014, 09:54 AM

Looks good. So what all did you have to do to make it work? I have been thinking about doing the same.

Well the cab fit well plan on moving the front mounts back and shorting then by 1 1/4". The rear hole end up right over top of the frame ,have some work to do there. Rad support is about 4" off the frMe going to make custom mounts or use part of the 94 rad support to mine so I can use stock location. It's not as hard or bad as I thought it would have been. Going to post more pictures and info as I get more done this weekend

Lokin4AReason · 12-04-2014, 01:28 PM

did any of the hole(s) line up or what kind of modification(s) needed to be on to settle the component(s) on that late model frame .... ???

I had thought about using the 94 mounts on the cab. Just cut the section of the 94 cab out where it's bolted in and weld to the floor of the 65 cab, that way I have the new bushings and can unbolt the cab from underneath. That would be simple even if you have to move the mounts themselves.

Very Interesting. Can't wait to hear more on this!

Ronzo · 12-08-2014, 05:00 PM

Can you lower that frame and suspension easily?
Make any progress on the weekend?

chevycowboy1985 · 12-08-2014, 11:51 PM

Ya can get stuff way easier and got the cab mounts all finished up will get some pictures up tomorrow

Ronzo · 12-16-2014, 07:58 PM

chevycowboy1985 · 12-23-2014, 07:28 PM

**LostMy65** · 08-18-2017, 12:56 AM
