Having driveshaft clearence issues. Gonna try to work some more magic!
New 1-piece drive shaft $185.
New 2-piece drive shaft $420.
Honestly thought one piece would be ok. GONNA SUCK IF I HAVE TO BUY A 2-PIECE AFTER I ALREADY BOUGHT THE 1-PIECE.
Note to self always do a 2-piece driveshaft(FIRST).:lol::lol:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

If you don't mind sharing, what/where are the 'clearance issues'?

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

I learned the same lesson on the Tahoe. Went from two to one. Then wen't lower and had to build a tunnel... Truck is looking wicked!

1-PIECE DRIVE SHAFT IN:metal::metal::metal:
Rolled truck in and out of garage. no binding or rubbing with rear bags deflatted.:metal::metal::metal:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

nice to talk to ya today jeff,stoked about rolling to the show together i am going to talk to the other jeff (protrash)about going too

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

I would just do a tiny C notch on that cab brace over the driveshaft, there might be a little flex in the frame, and the rubber cab mounts to make it touch every now and then... that is if it is driveable with the bags all the way down...

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

RIDE HEIGHT! This is how truck to sit all the time.:metal::metal::metal:
FILTHY DIRTY TRUCK!!!!!!!!

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

OPEN HEADERS, NEEDS TO BE TIMED AND ITS REAL RICH

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

That turned out real nice!!!

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

sweet:metal::metal:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Very Kool......It lives...!!!! Kinda sounds like it could use the timing advanced to me.......But KOOL anyways ...!!!!!

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Nice job.....glad it's going. Unless you're going to run it with open headers I would wait to get the exhaust on to do any major tuning. The backpressure may help it even out somewhat.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

cool truck but not what i would call a "gasser". looks like a cool street ride :metal:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Thats why he called it a "GASSER INFLUENCED" and not a Gasser. Why you don't get that is simply amazing to me. you can paint a painting like a Picaso but it won't be a Picaso But it might have very simular characteristics and you might say " that guy must have been "INFLUENCED" by Picaso, yet it still is not a picaso, but you can see the "INFLUENCE" that picaso had on the new artists painting just as you can see many characteristics from a "GASSER" in HARDWAAs truck. In fact if it had a straight axle it would in fact "BE' a "GASSER" and not simply be "GASSER INFLUENCED" I could continue to give you many more examples of what being "INFLUENCED" means or even give you the Websters deffinition but that might become cumbersom bordering on being redundant, and I would never want to do that .

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

well, influenced would hafta mean that when people look at it they would hafta think of a gasser. that is more of a lowrider/rat rod influenced truck. like i said, it's cool and you did a good job just not what i (or most everybody else it seems) was expecting from the title. :uhmk:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

i'm sorry for your pain .

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

guess we'll just hafta agree to disagree ;)

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Well is this truck a gasser or not?

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

oh boy! talk to jeff tonight and he said it was a gas too drive :lol:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

well, it don't run on diesel fuel so it must be a gasser

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

it was a yes or no answer

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Gasser influenced works for me.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

I knew you'd get it Scoti !:metal:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

nope! not a even close to a nostalgic gasser. has the exact opposite stance of a gasser. has totally different suspension than a gasser. only thing in common are a few period specific traits that were used on far more cars than gassers

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Then we AGREE!!!!!! it is in fact a "GASSER INFLUENCED" truck. I knew you'd come around!:bann:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck

(that was a low blow)

IF I HAVE TO EXPLAIN YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND:banghead::banghead:

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

you're right. i wasn't even thinkin of it having a smallblock. ok, it's a mouserod :lol: . i still love the whitewalls on the old trucks. if our 66 was mine and not my kids. this is very much the stance/look it would have. ofcourse he don't like the wide whites.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
