Re: DP's '66
Dwayne your truck looks real good ,
I seen that picture of your truck in the carport somewhere before .. this is what mine looks like so far . 6cyl 3spd I have all the deluxe chrome for it . I got the windshield chrome for it from you. I spray canned the side safety red to see if I want to do it red n white after I do all the body work . |

im going to mold it on the metal 1965 hood . just like I did last year on my 93 GMC in this picture. I glue the scoop to the steel hood with short strand tiger hair then put a coat of long strand tiger hair over the seam from the scoop to the hood . $75 dollar rustoleum 2 tone paint I done last jan. one gallon of red and 2 quarts of black , I thinned with acetone so it sprays good . it has a 1975 454 with a quadrejet and a th350. |

Re: DP's '66
beautiful truck! I did have a question though, with the 283 is it worth swapping to the auto? We just picked up a '65 with the 283 and 3 on tree tranny out of it currently. I think having the 3 on the tree is pretty awesome, just afraid it wont be nearly as driver friendly. thanks

Re: DP's '66
Well my wife was mad at me when I decided to make it an automatic. She would rather have a standard trans. To me it came down to what I had available. When I bought the truck, the 283 was in pieces in the bed along with a junkyard 3 speed, so I knew I would have to rebuild the 283 and also come up with a transmission. I picked up a recently rebuilt 350TH cheap, found a tilt column from a '64 Impala (for zero dollars). So that made the most sense to me to put it together as an automatic. If it was a running driving truck with a good transmission when I bought it, I would probably have kept it a standard. Have you thought about going with a 5 speed? My daily driver is a 2000 blazer with a 5 speed and it is driver friendly.
