65 Beater

whats up everybody.. ive been a member for a while, think ive posted twice. usually just enjoy looking at the all the projects, finished trucks.. just like to check it out..
welll a few years ago i have the luck of getting a 63 BBW shorty for a good price.. did a little, wheels, springs, cleaned up the motor.. then i had to sell it.
THEN! i came across a package deal.. 64 BBW longbed and a 65 BBW shorty. finally got around to messing around.. the 64 is a doner.. cab, 5 lug discs.. 65 keeping the frame and bed, hood and motor.. slowly for a while been collecting parts.. trading.. barting.. also, im not a mechanic or a body man.. just, always wanted one and figured, what the hell! So here we.. like i said just started..

Along for the build. Don't let the not being a mechanic or body man stop you. We all had to start at the beginning.
Take your time and ask questions. Its all worth it in the end.
