I really like you're keeping it clean and simple.
You say you want your wife to be able to drive it comfortably. Are you thinking of power brakes and an automatic transmission?
I'm keeping my truck a truck. Go to Home Depot. Haul some stuff. Just a cool looking pickup truck.

I have withdraws like a junky. It's so excruciating having it out of commission doing upgrades.

Thank you

She loves the 3 on the tree! I do to. Makes it fun to drive I think. Brakes may come in the future, but the way they are now adds to the feel of "the good ol days"

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Hey I dig it! Looks like your chassis is coming along nicely

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Rebut the heater controls. One of the bars was broken. Previous owner cut the dash where the radio delete plate used to be (grrr) to install some gauges. The delete plate was still in the glove box though! I think I can attach it somehow and hide most of the ugliness.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Got the Press on door seals onot. The fit and finish on these is the best. I'm a huge fan of all of the Precision Replacement Parts rubber parts.
Also got some fat mat layed down

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Great looking truck man, thanks for sharing!

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Rubber floor and door sill plates installed. Also got the turn signal switch replaced and cleaned up the steering wheel. My vent windows should be back from rebuild soon, then I can get all of the glass installed. Also here is a sneak peek at the seat.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Nice seat! Do you mind me asking what that upholstery job cost?

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

around $800

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

I just couldn't stand it. I stripped down the bumpers to give them a fresh coat of white. The rear one was already painted primer grey. I wanted to paint it, so I did the front to as well. I'm trying not to refinish much on the truck. Keeping it as OG as I can

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Yes much better now

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Also finished getting all of the Precision Replacement Parts rubber seals back in the doors. Vent windows, window felts, run channelsome and all new glass. Everything looks and works perfectly

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

All the tools are in there proper place

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Well here is the seat. What do yall think? I love it.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Seat looks great .

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Back and front glass installed. She's ready to drive again! Fuel pump was bad this morning though. Had to change it before she'd drive to far. Lol

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Man that seat looks awesome! Digging the progress.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Looking quite nice! Also dig that seat.

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Thank you. I think it's just about finished. I need to get some tires on it soon. I will probably do 15x8 for the rear to give it more attitude. I will post some better pictures of it soon

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Dialed in

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

Put the ol gal up on the lift and painted the chassis black. This is a before picture. The after will come soon. Getting ready to upgrase the suspension and brakes. Stay tuned...

Look at the spare tire, think its been in there long?

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

That is a sweet little truck you're putting together. Nice work.

What are you planning on doing with the suspension update?

Re: '66 Budget friendly driver
 

THANK YOU. I did get some 4 nub wheels put on the front too, so I can add some disk brakes.

I am headed to pick up an 85 disc brake front end for mine this weekend. I just posted a new thread about my build. Check it out!
