Re: 66 Build
That does look nice!!!
I am kinda wishin' that I would have done that with the underside of my truck! Mine shines too much for something that I want to drive the crap out of, and I don't know how I will keep it clean! Seriously, no kidding on this subject.

Re: 66 Build
These shots show tire clearance to inner fender. I'm using 2.5 drop spindles and expect to install 1" lower springs yet. 3/4 ton truck with 1/2 ton springs in front now. Also need to move steering arm 1 spline over to make this side turn shorter and center the steering.

Re: 66 Build
 Tonight I did a lot of head scratching. Spent most of the time working out a plan to mount the A/C condensor. With my plan I have to move the battery box 3/4-1" over to clear the refrigerant lines. I used the mounts off the 87 donor truck.  One thing I dislike is that I will not get full air flow across the condensor. About 10-15% is blocked. I will be trimming the lower part of the grille support around the condensor as well. I sprayed some semigloss black on the support and called it a day for now.

Re: 66 Build
More pics of the front end & A/C install.
 I slod the battery over about 3/4 inch and up 1". Notched the radiator support for a/c lines to have a clear route.

Re: 66 Build
Thought it was time to get some more shots up. Got one coat of color down. Did not like how it looked - in process of sanding it back down. Also drilled a hole through the back wall installing the interior. So I get to fix that too.

Re: 66 Build
Working on the bed now. Started engineering the tail lights- back-up lights (See my other post - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=656956). Planning to fill the stake holes and get rust patched in quarters. Also got the Front bed panel done.

Re: 66 Build
Photos of the bed and tailgate. Repairing rust on wheel well area. Also modified the tailgate to accept a 2008 Chevy locking latch assembly. I am waiting to hear from Craftec on a tonneau cover for a long bed as well.

Re: 66 Build
Hi all. Lately I've spent a lot of time on the box. Inside is all bed liner in body color. Been working with my friend and neighbor on the walnut wood for the bed. It is going tp be killer! Ground about 1/2" of thickness of body filler out of the driver rear box side. would have replaced the rear section but I was able to hammer it back decently. Also planning for the filler door to cut in a large hole in this panel.

Re: 66 Build
Been working on several items lately. Finished up the bed wood in the box. I think the walnut is outstanding! Tailgate and rear bumper, rear bumper filler panels installed/adjusted. Grille assembled and front bumper mounted & adjusted. Wiring harness from the 87 connected to the 66 lights and accessories. Getting started on the cutting and buffing now.
