SOLD

I was patiently waiting for someone to ask! Looks like a lot of work to end up with an immense rear overhang.My shortbed is trimmed as well, but only to accommodate the 38's! So from my research there is not an actual styleside bed that’s made for the 120” wheelbase right? No matter which one I fin...

What did they do with the wheelbase? Still stock at 120". Looks like they trimmed the rear fender opening but 120 to 129 is a big difference to move the wheels in the opening. I think I'd shorten the bed at the front to center the wheels in the opening where they belong. It’s still the factory...

This was just the ticket, 1965 factory 4x4, 352 bored to a 390, 4spd and he had done the styleside bed conversion for me. I need to replace the brake boo...

Thanks all, we got on it tonight and she is buffing up nicely. I was scrubbing one rim and scrubbed the valve right off:). New valves all around to be safe and we will be back at it. Updated photos soon!

I had her hooked early on as she watched me rebuild a few classic pickups growing up. We made a deal a few years ago if she kept her grades up, stuck with love which is Softball and stayed away from getting a boyfriend I would find her an original patina pickup. She loves original patina and especia...
