My 1965 Shortbed Build

I thought I would start me a build thread on my truck. Im trying to keep this truck pretty simple and thats getting hard to do. Ive got CPP 2 1/2 spindles and 3" springs on the front and 5" springs for the rear and will probably add a small block to it. I am also using a CPP panhard bar. Putting rear disc brakes on it using Impala SS rotors and metric calipers with brackets from Speedway. Im also installing a wiring kit from Rebel wire. Ive got most of the front susp. done waiting on my tie rod ends to come in to finish and run the the brake lines and install shocks when I decide what Im going with on those. I ran into a snag with the rear last night. The axles that came out of this truck was shot so I pulled a set from the 66 longbed I have and didnt pay any attention before I sent them to be drilled to 5 lug and they are different spline. So now I will be swapping out rears. But Its all good I got to pull it down to install my springs, panhard bar,and brakes. Im going to leave this truck looking like it is going to clean up and paint inder the hood and chassis. Im going to paint the inside of the cab and put a new mat in. Thats kinda the run down. I will update some more soon.
