Re: '66 Longbed 327 w/AC project
Thank you, the cab is pretty noise free except that i have to leave a window cracked because the door fizzies keep it from rolling up all the way. It's on the winter list. Also, no reason not to use a clutch fan even with AC, the direct drive fan is a little noiser at highway speeds. It is still pushing a brick through the air at 75mph, it doesn't like it that's for sure, once you get over 70, you really are working it, even with OD. So you can still hear some of that. But, worlds better than it was before.

Re: '66 Longbed 327 w/AC project
Wow ! I've been looking for this truck for awhile. I can't believe I found it here. I owned this truck several years ago in Reedley,Ca 30 miles southeast of Fresno. I sold it to a gentleman from Selma , Ca then I heard he passed away and his son inherited it. I had seen it around Selma then it disappeared. Well this explains it.i really regretted selling it. It was a highly optioned truck 327, p/s, p/b , a/c , factory spotlight. I'm glad it went to a good home. Enjoy it.

I'm curious about some of the history. Did it have ladder racks at some time? There were holes in the side of the bed. Do you know who/when the engine was rebuilt? Some of the bores were slightly crooked during the boring process, 3 cam lobes were worn down. Still got us home like a champ though! There was a TON of metal tying that step bumper/hitch setup into the frame. Did you put on or know the origin of the saddle tanks? It looks like that company went out of business in the 70's. It's a neat setup to have, especially after adding the sending units, and not needing to cut the bedsides. |
