'65 "Orange Crush"

Well...a year and a half later-it's almost done. I am just waiting on the painter to finish my hood. It is a '65 Chevy shortbed/fleetside with a 355 and a 700R4. It is finished in PPG "Concept" single stage "Hugger Orange". It has an Ididit chrome tilt column, Dolphin instrumentation, a '65 SS Chevelle (I think) steering wheel, 275-60-15 Yokohama tires all around on 15X8 Corvette Rally wheels with flat caps, power steering, power disc brakes, dual electric fans, Hooker headers, Flowmasters, Simpson lap belts, oak bed with polished stainless trim, all new glass, chrome, rubber, and more!

Looks great.
I like it without the hood.
Greg.

Re: '65 "Orange Crush"

Wow! That's a beautiful truck. I really like how you stayed with the all-Chevy theme (color, rallys, flat caps, Chevelle wheel, etc.)

That color is outstanding on that truck. It'll look even better with the hood on (sorry, Greg!)

Re: '65 "Orange Crush"

I'm trying to find info on what brakes/spindles to use that will allow for 15" Corvette Rally wheels. Can you provide any details on the parts you used? Thanks!
