Re: something different 66 long travel truck

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

Been On Vacation And My Buddy At Grunions( Kevin ) Got Some More Done Can't Wait To See It I Will Post Some New Pics On Saturday

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

went to my buddy kevins shop (grunions)this morning i was so stoked!!! my hands were shaking and the photos came out kind of crappy, but the work he did was killer he got the front hoop set up, and the front bumper started , the trailing arms are sick,they are plated and dimple dyed, and ther rear hoops are coming to gether.

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

few more

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

the plans on the rear are to trim the rest of the bed and then kevin will fab up new suports to hold the bed, add limit straps,and some more suport to the hoops, kevins has been thinking we should make it a big window( plastic back window) and run the roll cage though the back and will link to the front though the cowel

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

few more

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

wow, looks like you're moving right along on this project. i really like those dimple punched trailing arms. would be sweet to get a set of those for a 67-72 truck.

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

Sweet..

I like how he built off the stock bumper....dimple die'n looks sharp !!!

Really nice,

Are those 1/2ton rear coils ?

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

man Dino, you have some talented friends :thumbs:

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

the coils are camper specials off one my old trucks, thanks chief i love the dimple dye stuff ,

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

go to kevins webb site and he will make them for ya, grunionfabrication.com , i am going to have a set built for my panel

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

just a few more updates, i had kevin make me my own fresh air intake,it will have a huge k&n air cleaner and were the park lights are there will be screens to let fresh are in,

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

looking so sick!!!!
can't wait for the finished product
did you get your camber issue resolved?

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

I love your project. Awesome fab work. I wish I had an ounce of that fab knowledge.

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

glad to see ya back alan, and on the fab work me to , i have great ideas but need the help on the fab stuff:lol:

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

So much for the engine bay of these things being generally simple... Just messing with ya. That fab work is something else though, this things coming along great.

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

Awsome !:metal:

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

was up at kevins saturday, and have some up dates, brakes plumbed booster in , all the suspension is welded,front and rear bumpers done,air intake done, before it comes home cab mounts replaced, battery box and the bed braces done,

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

I like all the dimpling. That think is looking bada$$ :metal:

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

Your gonna need a V8. A six with those tires even with a 4.11 rear end is gonna be straining. Nice ideas on the suspension though. It will be totally unique for sure.

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

thanks mike , I love them also. the back bed suport between the bed sides is next,

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

justcuz , even with my trick fresh air intake:lol::lol:I have a bigger bullet for this truck,but i just wanted to try something different the 292 in the truck is a new crate motor(doesn't look like it) and runs good , the suspension will also except the 350 i have so just a weekend change out

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

Those little sixes moved around some BIG trucks back in the day, of course there were alot more gears involved,and they didn't do it very fast.

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

thanks jon, i think the six will be fun,

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
 

I could be wrong who knows! Try it out, it is looking pretty good so I will follow with interest. I miss my old Chevys, fun to see the projects here on the board.

Re: something different 66 long travel truck
