I’m still busy on the old girl. The carpet and back seat is in. All of the electrical is sorted, I added front, rear and engine harnesses. The spot light is spotting. Console came out nice when I got an automatic donor for the metal pieces and arm rest. Some cool Stewart Warner gauges. Replaced the rusted out area under the battery tray painted the inner fenders and radiator support, I didn't do the firewall as it was pretty decent. AM/FM radio with a single speaker sounds great. KSHE in the morning and KMOX when the Cardinals start playing in the afternoon.

I'm up to number 9 now...

I thought that I'd try to match the "patina" of the radiator support and passenger inner fender but said screw it. That's spray bomb CC1 light blue from NAPA. The stuff is actually fairly tough for not having hardener in it.

Going with magnum 500s instead of hubcaps and 14” tires. Couldn’t get past the small 245.60/14s all the way around.
245.60/15 front and 275.6015 for the rear on 8" wide wheels.

Looking at your ball & trunnion driveshaft coupling face I am wondering if there were two different ones...one for auto & one for manual? The below photo is of my current piece that was on the trans that Keith Long built for my 64 Sport Fury 426 console auto. You can clearly see the matching indentation for your ball & trunnion face.

This is the ball & trunnion stub shaft that was on my car originally...flat face. Which bolts up flush exactly as your type. Maybe someone who has experience with these will chime in.

Yeah, you've got me. I would think that this is the original driveshaft, but you never know.

I’ve been working a some small stuff while waiting for the motor at the machine shop. The factory trunk drop off covers were more or less still there, at least enough to make patterns. I talked the folks at REM into selling me some vinyl to cover them.

Trunk drop off covers and badges

This car has had a respray, and I mean they sprayed over a lot. So I pulled the Plymouth emblems on the hood and the Commando V8 badges on the fenders and cleaned them up and painted them. The driver side Commando badge had been broken and they used a screw to secure it to the fender. That’s how it went back on.

This is the same companion flange that is on my 4 speed transmission, the one with the recesses. The picture didn't come through with the reply. You go me to thinking and I went out to check.

Very cool - thanks for sharing.. going to binge-watch your videos this evening... :thumb:

I think a lot of odd things happened with the 65's, those in-between years.. a bunch of one-year trim and details.

I restored our worn-out-but-intact '65 Satellite from 2006 to 2013.
I'm not sure of our's build date, but it was ordered in November '64 and has the "new" slipyoke driveshaft, not a ball-n-trunion.
Your grille has a Belvedere center emblem, maybe it was replaced, or the assembly line just grabbed the wrong thing.
All the original documents came with our car, from order sheet to window sticker to bill of sale and build sheet - I found no Owner's manual or Certicard.
Ours was originally owned by a lady named Bertha.

Looking forward to watching your videos..
Cheers, and Happy New Year!

Art,

This car had some Dukes of Hazzard driving done to it. All of the panels line up straight but the radiator was pushed up and I'm pretty sure the rear tail panel was replaced. I'm waiting on the motor as we speak and hopefully there's going to be a dyno session soon.

I understand that all 4 speed cars had the ball and trunnion for 1965. I have no paperwork with it but most of the components are dated December 1964.

Thanks

Well I’m still at it. Finally got the 383 Dynoed couple of weeks ago.

She made 478hp and 460tq. That’s with the 4% additive for Joe’s Stuska dyno with 2 generation old software.

Here’s the link to the video.

I also got the motor sprayed with Bill Hirsch turquoise. That’s some good stuff.

It looks Blue in this picture but it's really the correct turquoise.

Painting the 383

Thanks
