It was in the truck when I bought it, but wasn't wired up. I finally got everything (except cruise) working. Pulled all my hair out doing it too. Never again.

Those wiring harnesses are supposedly the cat's meow. I have never used one, so I can't testify to that. Idunno why, but I always do s*hit the hard way! I guess impatience or just plain stubborn. I have the vacuum operated cruise module, but recently was told it won't work because I don't have the ECM from the donor truck. Didn't know I needed it. Oh well, I got muscle memory for now. Lift foot, hover over accelerator, drop foot, hold for duration of trip. The farhtest I drive is to Nashville or Paducah anyway. No need for cruise to go an hour or less away. If I move agin, I will look into it then. I move a lot (6 states in8 years). The Army keeps my family pretty mobile. My daughter only keeps what she can physically carry (extra stuff) toys and things like that). I am blessed to have such an understanding and dedicated family. They sit patiently while I go conduct business and seldom complain about moving.

Troostr, is your truck bagged in the back or static? Looks sweet. And the flame throwers are bad to the bone!

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index

I like that muscle memory cruise control LOL....I bought an '83 benz from an uncle of mine years ago and he tore out the cruise control and told me "you really dont need it"

After a couple long trips I was seriously considering updating it but it was a lot of cash to do it....BY the way I finally learned how to post pics for here's my '61......

El_bole
P.S. bed is chopped, orig. a long bed, so I am going to have to get a new frame for my new bed....(vacilating whether to keep a stepside or look for a fleetside)

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index

My first car was a dirt brown '70 Dodge Dart. The throttle cable was broken, but there was a BOOT LACE poked through the firewall. 318 and automatic - Pull it and you better hold the hell on! My cousin fixed it when I got it home. The blinkers we're bare wires hangin from the bottom of the dash. Touch the wire to the door sill to ground out the circuit and get the blinkies. My dad bought that car for $75 and said drive this... or walk. I drove that car for a year til I get rearended by a Bud Light truck. Needless to say, I could afford a better car after that. Haha.

Kieth,

Thanks a ton man for such detailed pics and explanations about your '66...

I'll be replacing the front end on my '61(I know its way different) with a '73 C10 front end...

The pics give me new found confidence to delve into my project.....What size drop spindles did you use? Or better said what is the actually drop length?

Thanks,
Roberto
P.S. still devouring every pic especially front end replacement. Did you stick to the same rear axle?

Nice color on your '66! Where did you get those mirrors? I like the look of those to put on my '61....Had peepers but can't see sh*t with them...

Thanks,

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index

Gracias Amigo mio,

I like the color too -- look at it just right and it has a purple hue to the blue. Looks flat gorgeous in morning and afternoon light. Sheepishly, I must admit, I purchased this baby with most of the work done. Since I've had it (about three months) I tore out the old wood bed (was already 25 percent gone) and installed a new steering gear. That was a real challenge since power steering system is not original equipment. As well, the side mirror came with it. I have seen the same side mirror (I need another one for the passenger side) advertised as reproduction on LMC. Check it out here:

Thanks again for your comment!

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index

Gracias a Udsted companeiro!

I'll check out LMC's site...Just want to avoid the humpty dumpy ear side mirrors, effective but uncool.....

Good thing you purchased it like that because though the work can be fun it;s still WORK lol...

Hasta luego,
