So I'm starting to think of what to do when I start on my 65.


So, first on my list is get the brakes upgraded.
Why does it have to be a driver right away?

My truck was down 3 years, collecting things for the build and information and ideas of how to do what I wanted to do.

If you have a 61 frame, is it still a torsion front end?

If so, either swap the front suspension like you did the 66.
There are minor issues involving that and its work OR...
change out the frame to a 63-66 style.

Before you say thats too much work,,,, I move my truck over to another frame in a weekend and the $60 bushing kit was the most expensive part..

Of course, I had the frame itself prepped and ready and I drove the truck as it was while I was doing the frame.

Just tossing around ideas friend.
