Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Awesome Joe!

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Hey man, what did you say your idler arm was off of?

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

thanks!

same mid 80's truck that the cross member came from, '73-up should be the same....

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Did you ever find a "blaster" to do your cab? I'm bored at work and just wondering how progress is coming.

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Well you see Joe has been hiding lately and now that you mention it we havent seen any pics in a while.. so Mr. Joe whats going on?? :lol::lol:

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

I believe I found a blaster, thanks to Musclerodz
gotta call them this next week. i'm thinking maybe I should remove the rockers first also, not sure
I haven't accomplished anything else yet. been hanging with the family, and need to work on the wife's Suburban tomorrow.


:lol:
with you working later and different days of it is harder to coordinate hanging out, huh? ;)

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Yeah it does, sucks too! Maybe tomorrow ill come across something and have some better hours :metal:
I got some truck time in today ;)

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

If I had it to do again, I would cut the outer rockers off at least. You can see what was behind mine when I cut them off.

thanks Alan, that is exactly what I was thinking, you and me man, we're right here;)

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Ouch Allen.. yeah i hate finding crap like that especially when you start cutting it out and find more :devil: :lol:

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

No didnt put any pics up yet, Tim was asking me if id done anything.
Going to do some more that way i have more pics to share :metal:

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Nothing wrong with taking a break. I just thought that you had forgotten about us...:whine:

I'm with Alan on the rockers. I'd take the outers off before taking it in to a blaster.

Just trying to keep y'all motivated! I wanna go for a ride in May.:sumo: :lol:

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

:lol: now thats the motivation pushing spirit!! But the question is are we going to get to go for a ride in the 5.3 build..?? :sumo: :metal:

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

:metal:
keep it up TimE

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Looks good Joe... I noticed on your tunnel that the upper section is not spot welded in. Is that how the 4-5-6 trucks are? Here is mine after I drilled out all the spots to change to the low tunnel. Just curious if 60-62 did this different.

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Uuhhmm...Is it legal in the state of Oklahoma to ride inside of a vehicle on a trailer?? Keep in mind, I'm just curious, I'm not saying anything, you know, uuuhhhh.... yeah, that's the ticket, yeah...


;)

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

I believe in the 4-5-6 trucks, the low hump is made into the floor and the high hump is bolted to the floor......not sure.
My father in law cut out the floor and put in the bolt-in high hump when he installed the 283/sm465 combo, many years ago.

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

Dunno...? :lol: but ill make motor noises if you pull me to the meet in your new5.3 ;) :lol: :metal:

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
 

:gi: Here's what it will look like- :truck:

Sorry for cluttering up your thread Joe! I'll give myself :josh:

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build

So what are the next plans for the 66 Joe?
