Re: 66 Short step "Trad Rod" build, A Pabst Blue ribbon theme
very cool looking truck, you just need some spider rings and caps for the rims and you got it made!

Spider caps are cool. I would love a set. But to much money.. I bought the bullet caps for $29 with shipping and they look cool in their own way... Again I am working on a very limited budget..

So, where did you get the bullet caps, and how did you attach them? Been thinking about doing the same to mine....

Re: 66 Short step "Trad Rod" build, A Pabst Blue ribbon theme
Your truck is looking SICK!! Perfect stance...I dig the PBR stuff. The shift knob, the tool box, the key chain, I love it!! That's a good idea using the fence boards for the bed. I've been looking for ideas the re-do the wood in my '62 on a budget. I like the fleetside taillights too! Very nice!

Underneath the fence boards was a painted to match plywood bed. I went so low on the static drop that we had to cut a hole for the pumpkin. Just in case I hit a big bump or had a small load. I screwed the fence boards right down on top of the plywood.. Cheap and Easy floating bed. And for you HARLEY GUYS. If you like the Apes. I build them. We have a expensive hydraulic bender that we bought and bend/powder coat and chrome custom apes. Along with making custom other parts. Hit me up and I will give you the info.. They are strong/one piece and very affordable.

Re: 66 Short step "Trad Rod" build, A Pabst Blue ribbon theme
I have had several guys email me and say how much they love the Pabst stuff. Especially the box.. Its not to big but check out what I can fit in it.. Also The little ammo can fits prefect with extra tools and dry storage.
Here are a few pics..

Im a Pearl beer fan. Not cause it taste good, but because my grandpa drank it and I have his Pearl bottle opener. He called it "Pearl Pop with foam on top"! I have an old antique aluminum Pearl cooler and several Pearl bottle openers.

How do you like those Thrush mufflers. Do they have a good tone?

Re: 66 Short step "Trad Rod" build, A Pabst Blue ribbon theme
Thought you might like these too.. The mirror you see was my late grandfathers.. He put all those stickers on it back in the 60's. I have had it ever since I was little boy.. Also I collect Papst stuff.. These bar lights/old neon's were found in an old closed bar... I am thinking they are from the late 60's Early 70's.. Also the Papst poster with the ram on it is from the 60's.. Crazy stuff.. Think I have a PBR problem????

That's cool! I tried that on the knobs in my '62 but the didn't fit... My woman has a 2008 Malibu and we some PBR caps snapped on to the heater/AC controls.
