Re: 65 ford shortbed

I personally wouldn't run big wheels. I would slap some oversized 17-18 inch steelies on it with some blackwall tires and drive and drag it.

I like steelies on pre 1965 vehicles. After that modern style billet wheels are cool. Thats just my opinion and tastes. I like more traditional older vehicles in contrast to street rod style builds.

Re: 65 ford shortbed

i dont have a link,one of my buddies has a rod shop and he got it for me.... id assume he got it direct from them, but i know ive seen em in my southern rods catalog.
mines not a column shift so i dunno on the reverse light. mine has the wiring for the turns, hazards, and horn....mine doesnt have an ignition switch either ( gunna use the factory location)

it wasnt bad to install: shaved my wall, used the templete provided for the mount holes, used half the drop down hanger kit and just drilled new holes in the bottom of the dash ( i have to make some billet spacers).
