Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride

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.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride

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

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

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride

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

I can't find my old switch.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride

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.

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.
