Re: Parts

I love all the '65 A-bodies. Go for it! If you want, you can have your wife give me a call and I'll explain to her how all this works for us guys . I had a '65 F85 4spd for a while in HS. I wish I sti..........

Does anyone sell just those dome lamp clips? I can't tell you how many times I have needed those for a truck. If you look at pictures of my short bed project you might notice the dangling light. I do have a new one stashed. I bought it before the truck and looked for a cab that needed a new one .

Kidding here, of course. I just said that because this thread is labeled "Parts" and that is how this project came about, building a truck from my parts stash. I was about to tear into a '72 short bed 6cyl/3sp in primer I had for a total restoration. My financial situation got "changed" for me in a big way which got me to assessing. I had only ever bought parts, never sold a thing because I'm a 67-72 lifer. Hart Rob put a rebuilt SWB chassis with 4/6 drop up for sale and I realized with the parts I had that chassis was all I needed for a complete truck built my way. I sold the '72 since mo' money was good at the time and I could just skip to building with no teardown and a chassis ready to build on.

I hope you don't mind my story. It's all about parts.
