My names Justin and im from lenoir city TN. I have a swb 65 chevy step side with a 350. It's appearance would fool you as what it has going for it but the motor is from late model Chevy with the Center bolt valve covers.it has a late model fuse box,brand new radiator with Electric fan.unlike most cars/trucks im owned this one isn't ran to a toggle switch/battery.it has a relay and temp sensors.has a oil cooler,Trans cooler.it's a real driver kinda truck
Here's my plans for the truck.it's not a ratrod but has some things in common with one. IM going to fix all the rust and do it right.
Flat black the right way with a satin red top.red rims, lowered,All the rust repaired,wooden bed with chrome strips,gas tank relocated to rear frame with the gas cap out the inside bed.going to use something like the vetts had or air plane cap,going to lose the van seats for a tuck and roll bench seat or throw a Mexican blanket over a bench seat and do it like a ratrod. Do some pin stripes on the back tell gate after getting it smoothed out and a roll pan on the rear. Relocate the tail lights in the bed some how with leds. I'd like to make the exhaust exit from the sides on the humps on the bed.clean up the engine bay some. I'm still looking for a place that sells parts for the truck.I thought year one did but I was wrong sadly. I did however find classicindustrial.com and lmc. Im looking for a legit place that sells parts for a reasonable price.I'm going to have a lot more questions on this project.
heres a few questions on this build.
1st) Im going to relocate the tank between the frame rails using a fuel cell from summit/jegs.cable someone give me a part number to which tank I need with the correct measurements so it will bolt between the rails. I'm going to be using a plastic one with foam inside so it a won't go boom boom in a wreck.
2nd) does anyone know if any late model truck seats will bolt right in without drilling in the floor or fabbing mounts or a seat that's close to the same location.
3rd) I got how to do the rear 5 lugs but on the front do I just replace the rotors? By that I mean are the studs made into the rotors or do I have to change a lot more.
Anyone know the widest tire I can fit in back.I like my trucks low with fat tires.kinda like prostreet meets protour.I don't want it dragging the ground or anything like that but low and with a rank
RANDOM QUESTIONS
can someone post a pic with the above mods on a similar truck so I can have a idea of what it's going to look like.I have looked and looked but havent had any luck finding one.
can anyone tell me if all 60-66 doors are the same because my passenger door is pretty much gone as a matter of fact what all does interchange
Im looking for some led's rear break lights if anyone has a good site and can someone post a pic of their gauge cluster all restored and
modded some with like auto meter gauges so I can get an idea.
I got that I need a 71-72 rear end for a direct bolt on swap for a 5 lug.
I got that I need 67-72 front rotors for the 5 lugs but Im confused a little.does the drums have the studs on it because if it doesn't then I'll have to change more things then just the rotors .
That's all I have for now but I'll have more later lol thanks for the help
