Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
![]() originally the plan was weld up the holes in the firewall, rockers, floors, corners, vintage air install, clean and paint frame in front and rear of cab, paint under the hood, re-seal and paint the engine, 700R4 install, paint inside the cab and jambs, all new rubber..... now thinking pull the cab too, paint or powdercoat the entire frame, new wiring, plumbing, rear gas tank, basically everything but the body and paint on the outside. We want to have it back together to cruise it next summer and work on the body and paint the following winter. might be a bit much to get done by then, we shall see ![]()

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
That sounds possible, as long as you have the time necessary to accomplish it. As it sits now you have a fair amount of work ahead of you....but we're all here to encourage you. Oh, and don't forget to post lots of pics along the way.....

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
6months to do all that? Heck I've had mine roughly 3months and I've only taken the bed off and painted the rear frame. Imagine how far I'd be if I ran your schedule.
![]() I'll be watching this thread some more. |

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Knowing Joe he will probably have all floors, rockers, dash fixed and painted shortly after christmas
![]() Looks good man! Ya ill agree it is in good shape ![]() I have 2 furniture dollies that i used on mine that you can use if you decide to pull the cab. Makes it easier to roll around. (remember the toe masher?) |

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
IMHO if you go deeper than the rockers the cab needs to come off. If you don't you will. It really depends on how nice you will finish it out on the bottom of the floor. Nearly impossible with the cab on the frame.

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Thanks Alan!
i can be a bit of a perfectionist.........i want it finished from all possible sides i was worried about tweaking things with the cab off, but figured it would be easier to get to with it off. which just reminded me of someone on here who was supposed to be coming up with a cab tilter design for these trucks......guess I will go bug him ![]()
