65 chevy pickup build
Hi all, this is a great site. I am finally getting time to work on my projects. Here is the first one, thought I would share. Just got started on the front suspension and cleaning up the frame.

Re: 65 chevy pickup build
Thanks, it is a static 4.5 inch drop kit up front and will be 4 inch drop kit in back. As of right now I will be making my dash board, but having to do some rust repair.

Re: 65 chevy pickup build
I will have pics this weekend, had to repair the fire will lot of rust in the seam that attaches the firewall to the cab. Also been repairing the floors. Rear axle needs rebuild but has a good 3.07 ring and pinion, which will go well with my diesel engine I found.
Does anyone know who would be the best place to get the parts to rebuild the old 12 bolt axle?

Re: 65 chevy pickup build
Check with your local auto parts supplier. The truck 12 bolt was used up thru '82.

Re: 65 chevy pickup build
Looks like a good start. Gonna be interesting to see the stance once you get it all put back together.
