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... ;-)

**66ChevyMax** · 03-05-2016, 11:16 PM

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

I can't find my old switch.

**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.

I might have an extra one you could have. I will have to look tomorrow.

**66ChevyMax** · 03-06-2016, 09:16 PM

Thanks bro

dwcardfan · 03-07-2016, 08:51 PM

I didn't get a chance to look for that today but I will be able to look tomorrow. I am pretty sure I have an extra.

**66ChevyMax** · 03-07-2016, 11:10 PM

No rush!

I like the gun rack. Nice touch!

**66ChevyMax** · 03-08-2016, 10:51 PM

Thanks Dean, many trips to the deer lease with my mom and dads guns there. I have both rifles as well.
