Thanks for taking the time to comment...always cool! We're anxious to get back in the middle of these projects, having space will let us work back and forth on them at the same time...no more more stacking/unstacking to make room to work. The first few weekends were spent getting the shop "office" whipped in to shape...trim, paint, carpet, and guy stuff. The Texaco can lamp/table (collection of broke parts) was our first project in this place

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Thanks Dino!!
My boy and I worked a bit on fitting the front clip into place to help position the cab before jumping into making cab mounts. We still have a bit of tuning, but it's pretty close. Hope to have the cab locked down next weekend.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Guys, that truck is awesome! You have been giving me a ton of ideas... I have a 66 GMC 3/4 ton 2wd. I would like to change from coil springs to leaf springs in the front with a solid axle, (I don't need 4wd). I like the lifted look, but can't find anything aftermarket that fits my vehicle. But if I copy your leaf spring shackles... What do you guys think, or do you know of something aftermarket I have missed?

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Not much has been done lately, we've been working on dad's trucks more than mine...
In the quest for parts for my dads '58 I spent 3 hours walking through a local yard in the rain/sleet through the mud, as I was about to give up I get the urge to walk to the far end of the yard. (3/4 mile of mud) And I see this truck, almost completely rust free, good doors, solid cab, solid inner and outer fenders, I was in shock... Haha but I pulled the hood, grill, and emblems. Now I have a problem, I can't decide which hood to use!! What do you guys think??

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
I would go with the blue GMC hood, but I'm partial to 64/65/66. It just depends on which hood you think makes the truck look better. They both look good, but like I said, I'm partial to 64, 65 and 66 so I'd run the blue one. Lol

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
I like both, but since your truck is huge and mean looking, I think the 60 hood would suit it better, even though it's not correct to the cab..
For your truck I would use the 1960 hood with the 1960 C60 grill to go with it.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
I'd go with the green hood, and I'd also go back and try to get the rest of the body from that thing. That's crazy it's crusher bait!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
I agree! You and your Dad need to get a wrecker after that truck now that it is dry. That truck looks too nice to be in the wrecking yard. Find some school bus axles to put under it and slam it on some air bags!
