That gauge cluster looks cool. The radius around the edges was a nice touch, and if Joe did that on a bead roller, he's a maniac. That 'aint easy, especially in that small of a radius. One mistake, the panel is junk.

How come every time I see those seats, I hear mariachi music? They appear to have been done south of the border. My brother had a pair of bell-bottom pants in the early '70s with almost the same material. He was a stylish dude. The problem was, I was 4 years younger than him, and I got all of his hand-me-downs when they were waaay out of style. :lol:

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

Very clean i like it

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

Very nice quality build. I see you just mounted the front air bags directly to the lower a arm with no cup or anything. Does this only work with the firestone bags you are using?? I have a very very similar setup with a p/c crossmember and slam ss7 bags and i have always wondered if it would be ok if the bag touched the arm from being mounted directly to the arm?? Any insight would be appreciated.

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed

Seems like you would know about these style trucks I dig your trucks

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

thanks g-man
the front lca spring pocket has been welded up and redrilled for the bag.Using the firestone smaller bag works well it doesn't rub in the lca and it allows the bag to totally collapse which gets you lower,hope this makes sense
thanks ! if tough to say but these 60-66 truck are really starting to pull the money

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

Ohhhhh yaaaaa.

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed

Nice build!! Dino I'm looking for a nice original 60-66 fleetside maybe you can head me in the right direction and btw do you have a part # for your air valve switches?

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed

dude!! lookin awesome!! what caps you plannin on running?:metal:

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

Hey Dino what kind of mods did you make to that air cleaner base?

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

Thanks Rusty Wrenches!!

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

The raised bead on the inner panels is a nice touch, and it adds a bunch of strength to the panel. Are you planning to spray them chassis black, or another color?

You know you're hosed now, right? Once you put one custom panel like that under the hood, you are now committed to having to do the entire engine compartment (including the under-side of the hood). Kinda like steel braided hose.....if you put one piece in, you have to do 'em all the same. :lol:

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

Looking TOP NOTCH as ALWAYS !

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

great work, those filler panels look great, man i want this truck.

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

What company are the front fenders from? Looks good. Some pictures of fender structure for my PorterBuilt fender trim work?

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

To the bone man! Can't get enough of that white engine, looks perfect in this truck. I don't know if I'm cool enough to do mine anything other than orange.
:chevy:

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

man this looks great.........I'am living throught this build Dino!!

Re: dinos just a clean bagged 66 shortbed
 

Those white caps are gonna rock on that baby blue ride. I want a set for mine since that is what it had when I got it. Mine were beat to hell from being on a farm. Everytime I see a set for sale, I'm either to late or they go for more then I am willing to spend....
