Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Didn't do anything to my truck today, but went and looked at this 66 2wd 4spd manual with a 305, $1,000 as is or rebuild a 350TBi engine for him, not sure if I need more projects.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
That's 66 does look good seems to be in pretty good shape. How about that 6061 in the background is it in good shape also? nice find.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well, not actually today but on Saturday 7/28 the local Self Serve Wrecking Yard had a 1/2 off sale. I picked up a Mark VIII cooling fan & a Ford Taurus cooling fan @ $14.00 each but my Big Score??? I found a pair of A/C vents out of a 1964 Chrysler for $3.00 ea.!! I NEVER liked the cheap a$$ plastic vents supplied by Vintage Air. These Chrysler vents are real metal & are chrome plated and look SWEET!! Granted I have at least a couple of hours of cleaning & polishing these vents but I think they look great - at least it's a 150% improvement over the Cheap Plastic Vents that are supplied by Vintage Air. Oh, I also scored a SI 2 alternator for another $7.00. Yep I'm a happy camper.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

You are the Pick 'n Pull king! Those are the PERFECT vents for our trucks. I'll have to add those to my swap meet list. Congrats!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Ordered my springs and lowered shocks today from CCP. I'll end up with 3 1/2 front 4 rear drop, now to find the right wheels!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Today we'll connect the new gas delivery system, mount the valve covers and fire it up. New windshield proved to be too much for the glass installers yesterday, the chrome strips kept messing them up. They'll try again today. We have a bunch of little stuff that needs to be done today and tomorrow if I'm going to drive it to Carlisle Saturday.
Wish me luck!

After Stripping 40+ years of really bad ideas, Paint Choices and hack body work i am pleased to announce I am now 1/16 of the way done with my C10.
I just finished the DP90 Primer, I bought this truck for $700.00 non running in a field, Bought the brothers 3" 5" lowering springs and shocks from the same guy for $200 last week, stripped entire truck inside and out, fixed cancer doors and rockers, and more damn mirror holes than you can imagine. here she is as i left her at 9:00 P.M. Mountain time. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well thanks for the inspiration, nice truck. Just made a deal on a 66 2wd with a 305/4spd manual tonight and will store the truck for me a while till I have time.
![]() ![]() Lots of work again and will take away from my 71 4x4, but at least I have another cool 2wd to lower. ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Went looking for parts for my 66. The only thing I found was a WAY overpriced whole truck that looked like it had been through a war.
I desperately need a hood! Steven
