Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

I have got a long way to go. Oh ya got my seats out of the wrecked truck and set them in to see how they fit. :metal:

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

Power and heated!!!

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

Those seats are sweet!
I looked back through your thread but did not see where you mentioned what those seats came out of.... sorry to ask if you have already said but I really like the looks of them.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

Thanks. They came out of the wrecked 2000 Silverado that I am using LSx motor and tran. I am trying to use as much stuff off the wreck as possible. I am using the console to if it will fit.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

Oooh the seats look nice! :metal:

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

Thanks TJ. I like them having the seat belts built in. I am going to have to beef up where they bolt to floor but I think that will be easy.

My new rocker panels and fender patches came in today. :)
I had to go back to work so it will be a few days before I can start welding them in.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

It has been awhile since I have made an update. Between the winter weather and the rust that I keep finding on my cab I have not made any progress. When the snow and ice leaves if it every does I am going to bring my other cab in the shop and start pulling it apart. Maybe it will not have as must rust as this one.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

I don't know about everyone else but I am sick of the cold and snow. Here is my donor still behind shop. Waiting on snow to melt.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

Looks good far , it's gonna turn out great when done

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

That looks like a nice donor.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

Ok, so I was not the only one that looked at that and thought "dang, I would build that one too..." :metal:

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

I'd slap a motor in that thing and drive it as is :metal:

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

That was my first truck it has a 6 cylinder powerglide. The PO was about to send it to the crusher so I saved it. It looks like it will be most of the build except for the roof.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 

Man, That will Buff Out!!! :haha:

Stay Warm… We're forecast to get 2-4 more inches of Frozen Sunshine Monday into Tuesday and my motivation Factor is about -10...:lol: On the bright side, this coming weekend is forecast to me in the mid 50's...:metal: Looking forward to some truck time!!!
