Congrats on finding and getting your 65 back! I too have a 65 shorty step side, I love these trucks. Nice to see you are keeping a truck as a truck, it's a great way to enjoy your investment and a good conversation piece when you break for a coffee.

Your truck looks great with that stance. Good choice!

glad you found the culprit. Any luck looking for the next project?

wow, you really have your work cut out for you. Hats off to you for puttin forth the effort. You have more history information than we'll ever see over here in North America, I'd trace some of the VIN numbers and keep an eye out while sanding through the layers of paint to try and find the...

Congrats on the period perfect award! Thanks for posting.

Great job on the restore! not many keep vehicles around for 36 yrs, likely the build sheet details helped:cool:

Nice patina look when done!

awesome job, man your truck looks great! There is a big car show in Mt Forest this Saturday, we are taking our caddy and will be there bright and early (starts at 8am). Hope to see your truck there! if not we will drop by on way home from owen sound on Sunday.

Does anyone know what the stock backspacing is on a 3/4 or 1 ton 4x4 pick up truck? 8 bolt steel rims with the large chevy emblem hub caps.

Rims are done but haven't got tires yet, been paying other bills & working on my 49 international. Still undecided on tire size for the front. I think I'll order two tires for the rear then try them on the front to see how they fit... once I lower it of course. Hopefully very soon. I will...

Your interior looks great, I can't believe its only an aerosol paint job! Is that the factory steering column with an aftermarket wheel?

any update on the situation????

I could be wrong (never done this myself) but I understand you can buy a regulator with (or without) a bypass line fitting... get one with a bypass option. have a look at jegs or other online supplier. were you using this set up for long before you noticed the issues or is this a result...

on second thought have you considered ignition instead of vacume? what type of distributor are you running and where are you drawing vaccume advance from? I wonder if its an ignition issue, possibly the springs or weights hanging (maybe something broke inside the distributor) or a vacume...

are you running a pressure regulator? if so, is it adjusted correctly to around 6psi and do you have a bypass line back to the fuel tank so the pump can operate freely without being restricted? It sounds like the carb is having issues receiving fuel at low demand, which I suspect could be...

I like it, Your stance looks great! I do plan on converting to discs.. was planning on the typical 73-87 2.5" lowering spindles with 1" lower springs.... Do you have more information on the 88-98 front disc swap? What A arms are used? what ball joints are used? what spindles/disc...

Welcome to the forum! There is a tonn of information for our trucks hidden in previous posts, take the time to search and you should find that most topics have been covered. Your 66 looks to be in great shape, I bet it looks even better in person!

Sweeeeet:D Thanks! I would love to see more pics of your truck...

never would have guessed:o

Electric fans work well and free up some horsepower but they need to be sized and installed correctly. Many companies make a good fan but most are undersized for CFM. I would suggest looking for a Ford Taurus SHO fan. Before you get all "anti ford" on me do some research and you will see...
