66 SBFS street truck
 

It's like this

I started this truck awhile ago and then got side tracked. But I am back on it now around my other adventures in truck builds. So I will just kinda catch it up to where it is today in a hurry

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

I have redone a few things......like the engine look ....some of the cab dash...So this is before...

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

This is my mock up stage ....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Every time I look at what I did to that dash....a tear forms.....my bad but it's in there now

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Cab is painted....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

The frame and parts were powder coated but I didn't like the shine on some of it so i redid it...

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

So this is close to where I am now.....like i said i went backwards on this truck a few times....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Some more progress....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

This is where I am pretty much now....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

I am waiting to get my front coils back in.....I repainted them ...then it's button that back up and get ont my brake lines and fuel lines..

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Looks sweet man! Ride height? Wheel/tire size?

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

It's running a 1966 corvette 375 HP 327 with swaped out heads and intake...rollerized and ready to rumble

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

I can't remember the wheel size combo on it is I have had it so long.....When i get a chance I will get back to you on that .... it's set up for factory height right now. Everything else i have is bagged and really low....So i wanted to change it up a bit....once it's all back together i will decide if I want to lower it a bit or not. Thanks by the way...

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

what the h--- duude now were know were all the 60-66 are going :lol::lol: looks killer

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Two steps forward and back again that happens. What really counts is your ending up with a totally sick ride.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

LoL....Dude I think you have more then I do .....thanks man ....I just wanna build one truck that I can park beside yours.....lol...cause you da man

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Thanks man...

No slowing you down....I saw your thread the otherday and see you have been moved out sides to the shop.....no mercy for the wounded over there man

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

So I re did some of the front end in this project ( coils sway bar all of that stuff )I wasn't happy with the powder coating that was on it so I redid it....and it came back and I put it all back together again...........Also started to pull wire in the chassis the other day and am hiding as much of it as possible...... On a wiring note I am really getting fussy about how i do my stuff now and have learned so much from everyone else that I would just show this....

For what it's worth....


When we do old school gauges we add plugs to the harness because it's so nice to be able to just take them right out and not have them hanging there scratching things and sparking.....

PS this truck is back in my project line up now....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

It's taken awhile but we are making some serious progress on the hulk truck...Managed to get 90% of the prewire into the truck now and the AC/heat unit is installed.....but for some reason i can't post pictures because it wants me to resize them all.....i will have to figure out whats up with all of that...ugh

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

I almost resorted to drawing pictures.
I use a off site picture host and go hog wild on consumption of bandwidth.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Well lets see if i figured out how do do this.....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

A idea of how much wire this truck has and hard we are trying to hide it all ....Still not excatly what i am going to do with my ac lines but i think I am going to leave them on the inside of the fenders.....but not attached to the inners. I don't want anything hanging on the inner fenders of this build it makes it so hard to keep polished fenders clean where i am....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

very nice!:metal:

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Glad to see an update on this project.
Looking like a Sweet Ride in the making.:metal:

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Well i haven't forgot this thread .....
The box is roughed out and been block sanded 3 times now and should be painted next week.....
Bought the new steering column and recieved it.....blasted all the pedal assembly and painted in chassis saver ( i just love the texture and colour of it )
So over the next few weeks i hope to make some head way on this truck and be back on it...I want to have it ready for the spring and on the road.....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

So do we! :metal:

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

I have been slammed building other peoples projects and my shop is jammed but after going to SEMA and hanging out at the Dino's git down and ending up at the good guy's show.....I seem to be all over my own stuff..lmao.
Had a great time down there with my 58 and put lots of good miles on it and that was the best trip I have had in sometime.....Thats my 58 behind Dino's prostreet truck....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

49 sedan delivery in progress....I dig what i did with the cover and intake....it's coated and i had them place the black stripes into it....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

just a few reasons I am behind on this build.....This is the 53 chevy truck... I am doing " Blue " its for one of the best buddies a guy can have and there is a entire crew of people helping to get it done . It's crazy all the mods that have been done, over 30 body mods of the truck alone.....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Okay this one is my fault....

66 big window with a 3 on the tree and factory OD on the dash and it has helper springs and a big old brake booster mounted on the inner fender. I have to do some more research on the booster but i am leaving it on and this is kind of a patina retro build.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

I'm digging the cedars! That's a sweet backyard man!

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Better look at the front....

I know the engine isn't the right grey but I dig that chevy orange and black what can i say.....lol

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Thanks man....My entire back yard is full of them....I have one thats over 25ft at the butt.... I think it still has part of a tree fort that goes back to my early days.....lol

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Wow it's been awhile since i have worked on this truck.....Since i want to drive it this summer i guess I better get back on this one.....

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Love it! You are doing great work!!! Keep it up!:chevy:

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Well the wood kit for the box....

I stained this along time ago and I have had it sitting around waiting for the day I needed it. But I thought I would give it a blast of clear and then thats when the troubles started. When I did my 58 I used the same stain but sanded most of it off to give it a more patina look and then sprayed it with several light coats and wet sanded it between each of course. So i wiped the stain down lightly with some thinner waited a few hours to make sure it was all dry then brushed a light coat onto the wood.....it's been more then 24 hours and it still hasn't dried yet........here is thinking it will be dry tomorrow.

Re: 66 SBFS street truck
 

Well the box sides are all prep'd and ready to go almost.....let me tell you those sides have been blocked inner and outer over and over and over again and they are with out a doubt the straightest and cleanest sides i have ever had done.....
