I put a set of flowtech headers on my 65, I bought a set of Dynomax headers, but they didn't fit the truck at all! It matters on fittment. Just because they say they fit, doesn't necessarily mean so. Check out the primary tubes (#1 & #2) on each side. Make sure that #1 doesn't run in front of th...

Take a look at my 65, I have the drop beams. Just not sure if the PO used the drop springs or not.

I have exactly 4 inches of ground clearance at the Spring Mount bolt.

Definitely a 65

If you look at the steering column, the earlier trucks were offset from the instrument cluster. This truck definitely has the steering column centered on the cluster.

It's a 65, the guy is full of, well you know.......

What's sad is that some places outside of Texas are actually cheaper than we are. And we sit on top of the largest refineries in the US!


Anybody see a problem with this besides me?

One question.

Are your brake drums seating all the way? I ran into this problem and found out that the axle was not right. I can post a picture if you need it. Measure your axle from the flange to the spline end.

About to give up

Ok, here's the problem. I have developed a miss in the 390 that resides in my 65. Feels like a dead miss, but with the installation of a new ignition (pertronix) and new plugs it is still there. So here are the options I am left with. 1) Bent pushrod (again) 2) ignition problem 3) fuel problem (need...
