Re: something different 66 long travel truck

That's what I was thinking too, Tony. Gotta like that gasser straight axle look, although on a truck it's different! Thanks for showing us what you're up to Dino!

Re: something different 66 long travel truck

2.5 or 3" coil-overs up front would make a world of difference. Did I hear long travel 4 link rear?
Actually there are some awesome leaf spring kits that don't totally break the bank, and still achieve 15+ inches of travel!

Here is my daily driver, been this way for around 5+ years now-2001 2wd Silverado-Deaver long travel rear leaf's, 4" fabricated knuckles, some crappy coils, and Fabtech upper arms. New trucks aren't built like old ones, I'm on front hub/bearing assembly number 7($300+ each). FIberglass fenders and bedsides, self built bumper.

Oh yea, and plan on spending at least 1k per desert trip for replacement parts!

Sweet Catalina vert! My wife's first car was a 67 Catalina 4 door that we built up. It sucked.

Re: something different 66 long travel truck

hey dino:I have an idea for you...
this truck is going to be like a baja racer, right?
so you are going to need big wheelwells for lots of clearance.
how about using some fenders off a 2 ton, they should bolt right on , and would look stock.
then maybe cut up another pair, for the fleet bed...

Re: something different 66 long travel truck

You need a sweet front bumper!
I built this several years ago while I was learning basic fab stuff, it was my second attempt at a front bumper, my truck being the first.



Getting respect from the guy I was building it for while I had my back turned



F'ing F-rds! Notice the difference in frame rail size!

Re: something different 66 long travel truck





Dont mind the garbage can and clamp, "someone" forgot to order mounting tabs

Finished product!


This was all completed in less then 8 hours, all with scrap laying around the garage, except for the tubing.
