Re: how about some pics of 60-66 long beds

Here is a before and after of my 65. Took almost 2 years to get complete and was ready 2 weeks before our wedding so it drove me to the church.

Thanks Vernski. I need to ask the guys at Full Blown Kustoms (they did the paint/bodywork) what the exact name is the next time I'm thru there. The pics don't show the greenish metallic hue in it. Looks slightly different in person.

Re: how about some pics of 60-66 long beds

Thanks Vernski, although I can't take any credit for the color since I bought it like this. I believe its Daytona yellow from late 60's Chevy cars but not 100% sure. The original color was Harvest yellow which is much more pale.

Re: how about some pics of 60-66 long beds

Look at what I had made for my truck. Since my last picture posts have been a TKO500 and a 350 block...well, this gives you an idea where this will end up.



Uh. LOL. I meant to post this in a different thread...but since my truck is a long bed then I guess it is marginally ok.

Re: how about some pics of 60-66 long beds

I might as well get in on this too. I prefer a longbed, they look more in proportion than a shortbox in my opinion. They ride like a car also.

Re: how about some pics of 60-66 long beds

Softpatch - I asked him the same question in the "How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66" section. His reply:

http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...&postcount=472

"Thanks fellas. The wheels are Appliance tru-spoke fine wires, 15x10 in the back and 15x8 in the front. I've had them for years and they were pretty rusty so I had them repaired and respoked. Appliance has been out of business for years. I can't find a new wheel that is the same. Tires are 295's x50's in the back and 245'sx50's in the front, but I think I will go to a 60 series tire in the front. The front is dropped 4 1/2 inches - 2 1/2inch drop spindles and 2 inch drop springs. The back is dropped 4 inches with 4" drop springs."
