Not a OG.
Thanks, I do my best to make these look factory

It is a mid to late 70's Van tilt

Thanks Tony, I am very happy, Brothers carries the Mar K brand moldings for under $400. I believe, next probably the front will go a little lower and.........a lot later a 700r4 with a Lokar Shifter.:smoke:

No real updates, other than installing some cab sails and waiting on new windshield rubber for the chrome trim, also raised the back some (I like a rake) it's going to stay like this for a while, too many irons in the fire. :lol: :chevy:

Re: The 66' "Grey Goose" update.
 
For me the look is so much better with the rear end raised up. Truck looks great, I love it!

I'd say the rake looks perfect.
Do me one favor though.
The front of the bed looks to be up 1/4" high.
Check the front bed mounts and see if there's a way to drop it enough to line the trim up.
Other than that, I think the truck looks great.

Re: The 66' "Grey Goose" update.
 
The back was perfect.
It was the front that needed to come down some more. Ha.

54Caddy 07-30-2012 01:02 PM
Re: The 66' "Grey Goose" update.
 
Agreed with lolife, You should have dropped the front down more. I will post a picture of one that i work on alot, Yours would look perfect at this stance. Been trying to buy this truck for the past 2 years.

Oh believe me, I was very okay with bringing the front down, but the dropped spindles and the disk brake conversions for the right look and the great ride gets kinda pricey and I have other C/10 mouths to feed too, :lol: or this baby would be bagged already. :chevy:

perhaps it is the cab mounts that have collapsed.

I thought that at first also, but it appears there's already a slight crown in the center where the bed meets the cab. I thought if he raised the rear of the cab any, it would exaggerate the crown even more.
I would suggest he lay a taunt string along the body lines or trim.

Re: The 66' "Grey Goose" update.
 
On second thought...
These trucks very well may have a crown in the frame for loading purposes.
I agree with you guys. Look at the mounts at the rear of the cab.
Either way, the truck is nice as it sits.
