Lost My 65

[LostMy65]

After I wrecked it, I bought a gmc with trailing arms for a donor. I put my beautiful cab on the 62 frame. The bumpers hang low now, because some previous owner mounted them upside down. I will be flipping them back to right side up.
Here is the gmc donor:

That was some work.
The frames are very different.
That explains a lot....
She is a cool ride. I found that paint color,(something really close) at the local auto paint store.
They call it robin egg blue.
I got gun metal grey for my 63 pro-street
Your service truck it pretty unique and different... Nice

My dad did literally the same thing. But he started with a '61 shortbed fleetside that was his daily driver. He rolled off the cab and pulled the bed, and put a '65 cab and '55-'66 short step on. He eventually replaced the t-bar front suspension with '67-'72 coil spring suspension. But everything done to the truck isn't just all that simple. I have a link to the thread somewhere.... Here it is!

Truth be told, I miss the hell out of that truck. I'm gonna buy my fiance's dad's '65 Chevy from him eventually, so that I can rebuild my childhood, so-to-speak.
