Sectioned 65 lwb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So a lot of you saw this truck for sale on Craigslist ! I have wanted this thing for 6 years it was originally picked up by a friend of mine as a a roller that was sectioned already ! It was bagged and the 59-60 impala dash was started then sat around for a few years then my buddy picked it up and started with another frame , it now has front porterbuilt drop member and truck bar rear weld in notch kit with all the porter built stuff and a switchspeed accuair setup ( going to upgrade to e-level )and is running a 350/350 combo ! It's needs some stuff on the cab buttoned up with the section and body work also a bed floor and exhaust ! So I'm going to finish off the metal work and body work this winter and its getting an satin paint job with a flaked and patterned roof and dash !!

Wow, its enough to make my "stock-nazi" heart shudder!!

Now, that took some work and some welding wire.

Finish her up and drive the wheels off her.

Elnutty · 11-12-2012, 06:11 PM

That's the plan is drive the wheels off of it when it's ready !!

It's funny I didn't like the grill at all on this truck ,and even got a aluminum chevy grill for it ! But now I think I'm going to use the gmc grill and lose the Buick center bar and use some polished expanded stainless with door knobs!!

I keep saving these photos to my "radicals" folder... keep 'em coming....
I am curious to see the blend where the section was taken out... also the back edge(new profile of the door).. did the tailgate get sectioned? when I did mine I could have left the gate full size if I had wanted...

coulter · 11-15-2012, 08:44 AM

Elnutty · 11-15-2012, 10:47 AM

The tail gate was sectioned it was taken out of the middle !!

So I'm going to ditch the Buick center bar infavor for some polished stainless expanded metal and drawer pulls should have it done sometime tomorrow ! Also can't decide if I should run a chrome stock bumper or a 60,61 or 62 impala bumper !

baggedbigblock · 11-16-2012, 05:41 PM

I would go a chrome stock bumper with the bumper guards to fill the void of the emblemless GMC grill. Thats the setup I want to run. Its so hard to find a GMC grill though!

Elnutty · 11-16-2012, 07:19 PM

I making a new insert peice for the voided area . Still not 100% on the gmc grill plan was to swap the grill out for a 1960 impala or a Monterey grill originally !! Gmc grill kind of grew on me just up in the air about it !

Elnutty · 11-23-2012, 04:12 PM

So I guess it's time to get to work on this thing doesn't look like the bus project is going to happen !! I'm going to finish off the sheet metal work on the inside of the cab and the bed for the section job first thing ! I've been waiting on some various parts to show up also need to figure out the route for the fuul exhaust has very short pipe with glass packs currently ! Time to go outside and get to work !!!

So had gotten a little discouraged on my truck and was going to sell it , one of my buddy's got me back on track ! So I should have the paint and body work by the end of January I'm going to try and bring it out to Turlock swap meet ! It's going like a satin tan with a rootbeer flaked roof and interior !!
