Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Right now during the dryer summer months, I want to get my cab patched up and protected.
I'd also like to at least do a quick spray on the box just to get it looking a smidgen better. It's pretty chipped up, and the black is brushed on. I don't want to bother doing a lot of sanding, so I'll do a quick over and then do this as Mark talked about here: Quote:

Yeah, I need to rush out there and get busy myself. Was only 105 in the shade today, a sure sign the hot weather is on it's way...

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Found me a beautiful straight clean box for $100 :eek:
The catch is I had to unbolt it from the f:(rd He just wanted it gone. I was fine with that. :D Now I won't have to try and restore my old beat-up box. http://i55.tinypic.com/2zxts9l.jpg |
Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
love the service box very cool!

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Wow, that looks good. If it is as nice as it looks in the pic, you stole that box.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
I get that same soreness and tire easily when working on my 66. Since that makes 2 of us it must be the 66 trucks. LOL

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Got the old box off today.
I cut each side off and will be keeping them for tool cabinets. http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...5/IMAG0294.jpg |
Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
I always like how these trucks look even without a bed.
That isn't rust on the back of the cab, that's the original county orange. http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...5/IMAG0297.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...5/IMAG0296.jpg |
Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
My Cab Corners arrived today from Dan's here in Portland.
They sent me two different brands. TriPlus for the Driver's side and I don't know for the Passenger's. I will be exchanging the passanger's side for a Tri-Plus brand. The off brand is just way too cheaply made. The metal is terribly obviously thinner. :( The shape of the body lines are very under shaped. The TriPlus is far superior. http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/...IMAG0319-1.jpg http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/...IMAG0322-1.jpg |
Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Pressure washed the frame rear section.
I'll be doing the rear gas tank upgrade and cab corners while I have the box off. http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/...o/IMAG0314.jpg http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/...o/IMAG0312.jpg |
Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
What kind of tank are you planning to use? Just wondering because I'm at about that stage on my 66. The plan right now is to use a 64-66 mustank tank. I've seen a couple used in our trucks and they are almost a drop in and very little hangs below the frame. They are only 16 gal., though, and also the sender needs to be modified to 0-90 ohms.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
I have two tanks to choose from.
My first choice will be a huge 79 suburban tank I got off my donor - similar to the blazer: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=474448 If I don't like how it's coming together, I got one off of the F250 that I got the service box off of. It's looks to be about half the depth of the suburban tank. I'll try and load some pics of the tanks this afternoon. |

I need a tank bad. I hate it in the cab.. makes me real fricking nervous! |
Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Here's the F:mad:rd F250 gas tank.
I see now it won't fit between the rails. If I have to go below the rails, I might as well use the huge suburban tank because it fits between the rails, so I'm guessing it won't hang any lower than the f:(rd tank mounted below the rails. http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/...IMAG0331-1.jpghttp://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/...IMAG0333-1.jpg 79 Suburban tank: http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/...IMAG0335-1.jpg http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/...IMAG0334-1.jpg |
Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
66-PDM...you're right, my bad, it is 30 ohm.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
I found two clean doors. Driver's and
Passenger's. $325 for both. After driving around looking at rusty bottom doors, I figured I had better get both of these. I'll get some pics up later. I'm tempted to buy the hood also. I posted in the parts forum asking what it might be worth. Posted via Mobile Device |
