I have to disagree with this. You cannot build a 60-66 from a parts catalog. Especially if your using Chinese reproduction parts that will not match up. Your best bet is to go OEM or NOS. Hit the scrap yards and craigslist up for parts. There are a ton of old parts out there for a margin of the cost of reproduction and the fitment issues are not there. The chinese reproductions are very poor quality and you will find alot of problems with alot of the parts. There are plenty of threads here to support this. The parts are overpriced and under quality. Sometimes they are your only option for some things. I would only suggest going to the catalogs for parts that are not obtainable or parts that are generic...ie...wiring, bed wood, etc...Do some research on what your looking for, hit up the classifieds. You will find alot of people only resort to the catalogs as a last resort. Also...60-63 cabs/doors are interchangeable and 64-66 cabs/doors are interchangeable.
