Prebent everywhere accept the two risers coming up to the booster. I think one of those is stock and can't remember where I got the other.

Whoa!
Lookin' outstanding with the paint work!
I really like the color!
Are you gonna run tailgate chains?

**66ChevyMax** · 02-23-2016, 11:29 PM

Yes, chains, bench seat and vent windows are things I can't change, too many memories

BBW doesn't leave room for Gun Rack and I can't have that

Awesome project.

**66ChevyMax** · 03-02-2016, 12:15 AM

Here's what I'm toying with for two tone, my oldest son has a print and vinyl shop!

66-PMD-GMC · 03-02-2016, 02:41 PM

I see an obsession in the general public of the 60-66 crowd for the "big back window"...
For me.. the standard window gives the 60-66 trucks more of an "old school" flavor..
I've owned a few big window trucks and don't really see what all the fuss is about.. in fact, after owning and driving many of these trucks... my preference is the standard glass... :-)
I think your truck is perfect as is and I'm still glad you left it alone.

**66ChevyMax** · 03-02-2016, 04:10 PM

I don't hate the Big Glass, but my preference is the small window and most important you can't have a gun rack with the BBW

66-PMD-GMC · 03-02-2016, 07:00 PM

No hate here either.. my AR-15 sits where a shifter normally sits...
Better accessability... ;-)

Anyone have an idea where I can find the retainer nut and bezel for headlight switch?

I can't find my old switch.

You are welcome. Glad I could help. Keep up the good work your truck is looking awesome.

greg65 · 03-16-2016, 09:52 AM

Wow. The bed wood turned out great. Congratulations on your sons marriage. Any bride that wants and old truck in their wedding is a keeper.

**66ChevyMax** · 03-05-2016, 11:41 PM

Got the windshield installed today, tried yesterday twice with my youngest son NO GOOD! Got my oldest and two of his large friends to come over today and help and got it in in about 5 minutes. Started at the top and used rope.

**66ChevyMax** · 03-05-2016, 11:44 PM

Got the wiper motor installed, vintage air ducts installed, test fitted the gauges. Round gauges on the left are clock and outside temp and fuel pressure.

**66ChevyMax** · 03-05-2016, 11:46 PM

Installed the E-Brake switch in the old choke location.
