very nice Rene... So, now that you've come over to the dark side, which do you like better, 67-72 or 60-66!?!?! (i realize that's a loaded question with no right answer - like asking mom which is her fave kid...)

Truck looks great. Still can’t get over that seat, and is that an original tilt column? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before.

I'd love to hear more about that tilt column as well. I want one to look as stock as possible & work with the original steering wheel. Looks like you accomplished that quite well.

Thanks guys, I think the front is still a little high (3/5 drop) but the ride is the same, I'll probably go with dropped spindles next.

I'm guessing in a previous life it probably came out of a chevy van, but don't quote me. :lol:

Naw, it didn't hurt, and I drove today for an hour in 90 degree heat,......butt I really had pack on the baby powder in the hard to reach places. (Sweaty) Come to think about it the plastic might be coming off after all. ;)

Thanks Tony, I am very happy, Brothers carries the Mar K brand moldings for under $400. I believe, next probably the front will go a little lower and.........a lot later a 700r4 with a Lokar Shifter.:smoke:

No real updates, other than installing some cab sails and waiting on new windshield rubber for the chrome trim, also raised the back some (I like a rake) it's going to stay like this for a while, too many irons in the fire. :lol: :chevy:

CRGRS 66 07-29-2012 10:15 PM

Re: The 66' "Grey Goose" update.
 
For me the look is so much better with the rear end raised up. Truck looks great, I love it!

I'd say the rake looks perfect.
Do me one favor though.
The front of the bed looks to be up 1/4" high.
Check the front bed mounts and see if there's a way to drop it enough to line the trim up.
Other than that, I think the truck looks great.
