I have had the truck back on the road since early December last year and just hit 3000 miles. I did an oil change at 500 miles and also changed out the plugs at 1000 miles as they were fouled from when I was tuning the engine from running super rich.

I did install sun visors this week though. I went with black since my seat was black, but maybe I should have done gray since my roof is silver...either way, I am not used to them yet since the passenger side never had one and I haven't had one on the DS in years.
Looks great Andy....I also love the clock on the dash

I like the black visors. Ties in well with the gauge cluster and seat

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build

Finally got my new wheel mounted for the spare. I like it a lot, even if they put a small chip in the wheel paint when they dropped something on it...I already touched it up and it wasn't very big....plus they didn't charge me anything to mount and balance it.

Whenever I need new tires for the truck (probably 2035), I will make all 5 tires the same.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build

Really haven't done much to the truck lately...maintenance mainly. I greased the front end last weekend and this week I put in new sway bar end links and sway bar front bushings. WHAT A DIFFERENCE that made! Made the truck handle so much better...the squeaks are gone...just so much better, it's like night and day.

Read through the entire thread, great work. I have learned a ton and been inspired from 'someone who knew nothing and forgot most of it'...you do amazing work and the truck looks great! Thank you for sharing the details of this build.

Thank you very much! That means a lot to me. This board has given so much back to me I just hope I can inspire or help someone with their truck.

I just hope when I start my next truck, I haven't forgotten too much.
