65 GMC · 09-09-2019, 10:50 PM

I've been busy on the 65. In the last few weeks, I have finished and installed the bed wood. Sorted out most of the wiring issues, the tail lights are not working after the bedwood installation. I installed rubber pads between the bed and frame, so I think a couple of grounding straps will solve the issue. The seat is still in the shop waiting to be recovered. I will be pulling the 283 out later in the week to get it cleaned up, resealed and painted. Then once its back in and the truck is up and running again I will start getting the interior ready for when I get the seat back. I will get some updated pictures later in the week.
I still need to decide if I'm going to convert to power steering or if I buy a rebuilt manual steering box. I converted my 64 C20 and 65 GMC but I'm not sure I want to convert this one.
