Spider caps are cool. I would love a set. But to much money.. I bought the bullet caps for $29 with shipping and they look cool in their own way... Again I am working on a very limited budget..

Re: 66 Short step "Trad Rod" build, A Pabst Blue ribbon theme
Your truck is looking SICK!! Perfect stance...I dig the PBR stuff. The shift knob, the tool box, the key chain, I love it!! That's a good idea using the fence boards for the bed. I've been looking for ideas the re-do the wood in my '62 on a budget. I like the fleetside taillights too! Very nice!

Underneath the fence boards was a painted to match plywood bed. I went so low on the static drop that we had to cut a hole for the pumpkin. Just in case I hit a big bump or had a small load. I screwed the fence boards right down on top of the plywood.. Cheap and Easy floating bed. And for you HARLEY GUYS. If you like the Apes. I build them. We have a expensive hydraulic bender that we bought and bend/powder coat and chrome custom apes. Along with making custom other parts. Hit me up and I will give you the info.. They are strong/one piece and very affordable.

Re: 66 Short step "Trad Rod" build, A Pabst Blue ribbon theme
I have had several guys email me and say how much they love the Pabst stuff. Especially the box.. Its not to big but check out what I can fit in it.. Also The little ammo can fits prefect with extra tools and dry storage.
Here are a few pics..

How is the wood attached from the under-side? The steering wheel is great, too!!!

Re: 66 Short step "Trad Rod" build, A Pabst Blue ribbon theme
The previous owner had just attached a plywood bed in place of the original wood one.. As seen the above picures we had to cut a hole in the plywood bed floor for that extra inch of clearance. So.. I decided to be cheap and buy 8ft cedar fence boards cut them down and use finishing washers and black 1 5/8 wood screws to attach the cedar board on top of the plywood.. Total cost $35 bucks at Home Depot!!! Who knew they sold truck parts..

How do you like those Thrush mufflers. Do they have a good tone?
