Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Something I hadn't considered is that my 66 frame doesn't have the stands on the frame to mount the bed sills. I've been kinda banging around the idea of building a wood flatbed and then setting these boxes on either side. I know.... It's ugly.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Thanks guys.
I don't need a full on service box, but I do like having dedicated storage space in the bed. I want to keep the bed low like this, but with storage boxes on the side.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Hey, the plan changed again. I got this beat up bed for free, so I'm installing it. The main goal for this 66 is to use it for truck stuff so I can finish all I want to do with my 65.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
I'll guess 3/4 inch wider each side for the 14-bolt. 1-1/2" total.
That's what I think I've read. You might find an answer in one of these two threads: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=550878 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...highlight=Bolt

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Rebuilt my first carburetor a couple weeks ago.
The one on my 66 acted weird. The truck would backfire when I hit the gas, it would also bog. Put the rebuilt one on it today. Man does it run nice.

Installed a barden bumper and mocked up the tailgate.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
Been having trouble with it running rough and backfiring when I rev it up.
Idles really nice though. I've swapped out the distributor, I've checked the timing, and I've swapped the carb to the fitech from my 65, and still acts exactly the same. . Next I'm going to check if the timing chain hasn't skipped a tooth.

Re: My 66 Service Truck Build Thread
You've probably already checked, but I did a stupid thing twice on my truck. First time was when I first changed the plug wires. I had two wire right next to each other on the cap switched. Idled fine but couldn't drive it over 1500 rpm because of it backfiring a ton. Second time that happend was after the engine swap and putting an HEI dizzy in. Swapped two plug wires again and had a heck of a time figuring it out because I was certain that I had wired it correctly
