Had to post this, a good before pic on the same trailer when I brought it home a year and a half ago.

Drove mine for the first time with the new rear axle. Everything seems to be working properly so far, but I've just had it around town. I also picked up a sweet step bumper that was originally on a railroad truck. I'll get pics of the bumper tomorrow for you.

dantimdad · 03-23-2013, 08:54 PM

Cleaned the shop and decided to remove the inner portion of the hood to sand blast it and rust proof. Plus, it'll make welding in the patch panel easier.

racecougar · 03-23-2013, 09:07 PM

I cut a hole in it.

Then spent awhile fitting up the new panel. If I make it over to the shop tomorrow, I'll start welding it in.

jbgroby · 03-23-2013, 10:04 PM

You make it look so easy.

CRGRS 66 · 03-23-2013, 10:29 PM

Spent about 1.5 hours with the wire wheel on the firewall, rest of the day sand blasting parts.

Blue_Aura · 03-24-2013, 12:27 AM

Ripped out the blown engine today. Next it's time to clean up the firewall and the frame and get them ready to repaint. Looks like I'll be buying some more wire wheels!

I've got a rebuilt cluster coming next week. I was about to restore mine, but I found a guy in Las Vegas that gave me a great deal. Works out good, since I have so much to do to the truck by June.

I managed to purchase a altenator for the 6.2 LSA supercharger set up for the 66 project low and go.....But i can't seem to purchase the bracket I need from ebay ......apparently I am a international customer and they don't roll that way....

towersddg9 · 03-24-2013, 05:57 PM

did the driver side glass and vent window, it was actually an easy job, (thanks to some help from members here) I bought the door glass off ebay it fit great, so did the new vent window (classic parts)

if you have a US shipping address you get around that. over here we use an outfit called Seawings express international. they have a Blaine address and they bring stuff over daily $17.00 brings over 5lbs. pick it up at Victoria airport, whisk it through customs and your gone. there must be someone doing that at Abbotsford,a/port. US shipping to Blaine is usually minimal so in the end it doesn't make much difference and you don't have to pay those courier ripoff brokers fees.

Thanks 198, looking forward to seeing your truck finished, those vent windows are new got em from Classic Parts, I was sweating the fitment as I've read here somewhere that some have had issues, these went right in and fit great

Thanks again for the feedback

Thanks for sharing that they fit well. I'd like to add those to my truck someday, along with the chrome frames on the side glass. I think they'd upgrade the cab every bit as much as the stainless windshield trim.

I don't mean to high jack the thread but how do the bottom of the bags attach to the lower control arms or do they just sit in the pockets?

dantimdad · 03-25-2013, 07:17 PM

My script valve covers arrived from Don today!

Woohoo!

They look great.

Now, to mod them for a PCV valve and a baffle and then repaint.

Ta2Don · 03-25-2013, 07:20 PM

Glad you like them, but, what no pics? LOL

The bottom of the bag bolts to a cup that just sits in the spring pocket.
