now thats what i'm talking about...keep us posted, love to see that shop in person.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Holly cow, congrats on your guys's new place! That is totally awesome! I'd love to have those 2 shops! The truck is looking killer, love the burb too!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Guys, that truck is awesome! You have been giving me a ton of ideas... I have a 66 GMC 3/4 ton 2wd. I would like to change from coil springs to leaf springs in the front with a solid axle, (I don't need 4wd). I like the lifted look, but can't find anything aftermarket that fits my vehicle. But if I copy your leaf spring shackles... What do you guys think, or do you know of something aftermarket I have missed?

Meet & Greet would be great. You sure have the place for it. Love the man cave. :metal:

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

OK, Dennis...
You me and anyone we can find should do our own "cruise" to RockTonka's place... :metal:
Get about 15-20 60-66 trucks on the 40 to their place....
That would be cool ;)
Kinda like a Hot Rod Power Tour..
We could call it the 60-66 Growler Tour...

Not much has been done lately, we've been working on dad's trucks more than mine...

In the quest for parts for my dads '58 I spent 3 hours walking through a local yard in the rain/sleet through the mud, as I was about to give up I get the urge to walk to the far end of the yard. (3/4 mile of mud) And I see this truck, almost completely rust free, good doors, solid cab, solid inner and outer fenders, I was in shock... Haha but I pulled the hood, grill, and emblems.

Now I have a problem, I can't decide which hood to use!! What do you guys think??

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Old hood

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

I would go with the blue GMC hood, but I'm partial to 64/65/66. :lol: It just depends on which hood you think makes the truck look better. They both look good, but like I said, I'm partial to 64, 65 and 66 so I'd run the blue one. Lol

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

I like both, but since your truck is huge and mean looking, I think the 60 hood would suit it better, even though it's not correct to the cab..
For your truck I would use the 1960 hood with the 1960 C60 grill to go with it.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

I'd go with the green hood, and I'd also go back and try to get the rest of the body from that thing. That's crazy it's crusher bait!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

I like the eyebrow hoods, myself

I have always been curious how the fenders of the big trucks would look like on a big 4x4 like yours. I think the big tires would look sweet fillimg up the flares . Maybe one of the photoshop gurus could take the cab and fenders you found and graft it onto your chassis.

I would go with the 60 chev hood, I painted the 61 parklight housings in mine to kind of get the center to "float".

are you goiong to cut down the big 60 grille and use it?

shame that big 60 went down, looks like og paint, and if the pass side is half as nice looking as the drivers.....it would have been a perfect candidate for a conversion like the yellow one.
also a couple 4x4's with the big truck front clip...both in dire need of having the big flares grafted to thier rear wheelwells too though...I think the measurement for the original 9.00 20's on the big trucks is a 44 inch diameter..

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

The 60 looks good on your truck.

I love the double hump hood. I'd love to get ahold of the doors on that truck too...mine are in bad shape.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Me actually I think the 60 hood goes better with the GMC grill,But what do I know,You've
changed everything else so why not.It's your build so BUILD it LIKE YOU want it.All of Yalls
Projects Rock..

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

I like the green hood myself...they are kind of growing on me. With all the work you are doing I think you should go back and grab those fenders too!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

60 hood for sure!! A little biased though, lol.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

60 hood, and do some pressed inserts like your bumper.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

The fenders, running boards hood and grill off that donor flat bed will give the truck a more "powerful" stance. The hood alone makes the front end look to busy..
The GMC hood looks better with the GMC grill...... IMHO

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

The 60 hood definitely looks better with your early style double hump dash and the double lights grill.

Lookin fantastic! Definitely inspirational stuff here! I'll chime in and say that I like the 60 hood with GMC grille, but think you should go back and get the flared fenders for the front to make it a true HD GMC!;)

perhaps I am late to the party but I say use the old hood. don't get me wrong I like the green hood as well but the old one seems to "fit" your truck better
