Looking good Slammed, did yall weld or bolt that roll pan on? Oh yeah I like that bow tie on the grill!!

[slammed1966chevy]

Thanks we bolted it on on for now , i know i like the bowtie on these trucks !

[slammed1966chevy]

Got some new pics , a few are of the gas tank i will be using sice i welded up the hole were the original one went . then of the turn signals on the front that i will fill in. then just of my engine bay Its still empty

[PrerunnerRob]

Is that tank made for gas or diesel? I might be wrong, but I believe there is a difference between the two due to differing flammability levels..be careful!

[slammed1966chevy]

Well it is made for gas it is it is homade but the person that built it know what they were doing. well yes it is very flamable i know. But it has a lid that goes over the part were you put gas in and it seals up pretty well. Just wish i could do more to it , but i dont have a welder and i cant find a place for a air ride kit that is cheap does anymone know a place that has a kit for a resonable price ?

Hey I was wondering what all you need to change to convert a long to short bed? you said you cut the frame in the middle, what else did you have to modify driveshaft ect..- did any of the mounts change? do you think you could cut a longbed down to a 7' bed? thanks

Ok here is what we did we took the truck down to the frame, then cut the frame after measuring , the got that welded back , then you measure our how long you want your bed min is like 5' i think. but it aint that hard. Yes you have to modify the frive shaft. And also you can use the same mounts you just have to move them and weld the back to the frame .

[slammed1966chevy]

Got a switch, and a 7 gallon air tank have pics up sometime soon for ya .

[slammed1966chevy]

My truck has a new home. Dont worry i did not get rid of it . i just got it at the shop i work at . doing some work on it there with the correct tools . here it is at the shop.

[1963chevyshort]

Cool now you have alot of room to work on it.

[slammed1966chevy]

Yes is sure do have alot of room !

[slammed1966chevy]

Ok i got four bags and a switch box and also a 5 gallon air tank. But i must tell you all my freind john is wanting to trade his front end off his convertible for my front end here is his front end.
