Re: Irish's 1966 LWB Fleetside
Wow Irish, good find. I really need to show my wife your thread, she threw me some really dirty looks when I told her about the '63 short step I am working on trying to buy. Hopefully she'll see your four (as well as the others on here with multiple trucks....) and agree that me owning two is not a bad thing, especially since this '63 is a driver. Congrats on the new truck Irish, can't wait to see how this one turns out after another one of your weekends. Here's to a collection of kool old trucks.

Re: Irish's 1966 LWB Fleetside
Damn it!! Friday won't come quick enough for me. Well MNF will make it go a bit quicker. Anyone wanna share some SWB pics of diff colour schemes to help me decide? I'm thinkin the tan and white will help with the stance I'm plannin for the 65. But I'm open to suggestions.

Re: Irish's 1966 LWB Fleetside
love it!! Maybe a shade darker though. See the last pic is what we were talkin bout yesterday, except instead of black it would be white. I have an idea for the stitchin too. Pinstripe it and then get it stitched into it with the other colour. Oh yeah!!!!! Same wheels too. I have the door poppers and shave the handles. Maybe??

Re: Irish's 1966 LWB Fleetside
Well, I went over to see the SWB and the PO is a really cool guy and let us work on her a little bit before collecting her on Fri. It took a little carb tweaking, but after a couple of tries, she roared. And I mean roared. Man, the exhaust and the cam in the motor makes her nice and loud. Attached are some pics. I'm grinnin from ear to ear on this one. Just ask OL SKOOL.
