Some one some were made this pics of my LCF as a low-rider, I'm not a low-rider fan, but I'm not the Truck Police either, I may like my trucks to be more on the stock side, but I have never stopped anyone form doing what they want to do with their truck.

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

This is going to be a cool build im currently parting a LCF cab I picked up cheap I'm planning on making a dresser out of the hood haha I think it would be cool of course my wife will want a divorce when i tell her im bringing it in the house so in the end it will end up in the junk pile behind my garage. So i cant wait till is done, I say BIG BLOCK would look cool between the frame rails with a 8-71 ofcourse good luck oldno7

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Oh boy!! I am tuned into this build

Sorry for no updates, We haven't had much time to work on it lately. The shop is picking up so fun stuff has to wait. We do have the frame about striped down and almost ready to start cutting! I do believe I am going to cut and narrow he fron axle a bit, 6-8" or so. That way we can keep the original one in it.

On the engine, not to get carried away, but first thing that came to my mind with that kind of length was maybe a little 'jet' engine-maybe.:devil:

on the engine, I do have an extra 16V71 TT, put an allison trans behind it. Keep it all GM, don't think anyone has ever used a 16 before, forget the little stuff like a 12V.

We are trying to build this truck on a budget. I kinda thing slamming a 2ton truck to the ground is pretty radical enough without going to crazy on the engine. W have located a 572 big block but the gu still wants $5k for it. We are still a ways away for an engine install.

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

If you looking for reliability with some guts try a 8.1 (496 cu) out of a early 2000's chevy truck. There a good running engine with more guts than a 6.0. I have one in a Suburban that I really like.

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Yes, the 8.1 is an option if we can find one at a reasonable price. They range from $200 blown up to $8,000ish. Its almost cheaper to buy a whole truck with one in it.

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Ok fellers, The cutting has begun!!!

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

The suspension is off the back and the double frame has been removed.

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Here it is as of now. We dropped the frame 20" over all, this will give us enough clearance for when the bags are all the way down the frame will sit right an an inch above the axle.

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Once it is back on the ground I dont thiink it will look like so much of a drastic of a drop. And BTW we have made a choice on what is going to power this thing, and boy are you guys in for a shock!!! lol

I believe your supervisor in the blue top and green pants is beginning to wonder about your sanity, LOL.

whoa!! killer work

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Thanks Dinos63, We got a lot done in a short amount of time. next is the front end. It has to be narrowed at least 8", It should be interesting to say the least! lol

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

UPDATE: We Moved The Shop!!

You never know how much crap you really have until you move!! Holy Cow!!!

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Well, we got itchy so we did some work on the truck. Since the shop is in disaray we decided to chop the cab! Mind you I have never done this before, but hey you gotta learn sometime right?? LOL

We chopped it 3" in the back and 4" in the front to give it a mean look.:metal::metal:

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

No Pics? what gives..........:smoke::smoke::lol:

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

After many hours pondering the best course of action we hacked it up!

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Here is a few more. We ended up finding another cab to make the finish work a bit easier.

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

I love it! I'm in for the ride.

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

This was the first ever chop top for any of us here. We took lots of time figuring the best way we thought it should be done. After we got it to the point where it is now, there has been 3 different high end hotrod builders stop by and look at it. All 3 said we are doing an awesome job so far. That was a relief!!

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

looks cool!, check out how I did the chop in my 60, (link in my signature) for an idea on how to do the headliner

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Jonz, thats pretty cool! We are hoping that the windsheld isnt going to be to much of a headache. The way we chopped it it an are putting it back together, it should only have to be shortened and not reshaped.

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

you should be ok, as long as you don't move the posts inward, the chop should work, my 2 inch chop required the top of the windshield opening to spread apart about 5/8 of an inch.

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Looks downright wicked, gotta love it

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

do you have the windshield cut yet?
you should fit the cut windshield to the frame

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

No, we havent cut the windsheild yet. I plan on cutting it then fit the cab to it.

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

this guna be awesome

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Badass! Personally id shorten it up, make her single axle, and put a flatbed on it. Flat black all of it on 22/24 semis, and keep the motor under the hood anddrop a 572 or bigger with a 8-71. But thats me

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

To Much Mone For A Blown 572. JusT Wait Till You See What We Have In Store Fo This BadBoy!!!

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

We ended up getting another truck to use for some of the roof parts. I do believe I have another idea in store the the rest of the second truck!! 66' RatRod Roadster anyone??

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Ratrod dually!!

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project

Re: 1966 Snub-nose C60 project
 

Sorry for no updates, our workload has forced us to put the truck on the back burner for the moment.
