Re: (( 1960-1966 Chevy/GMC Pickup Truck Restoration/Modification/Customization Ideas
Ya know, Bradley....Jolly couldn't get that bed off that truck quick enough.
If I'm not mistaken....he got it home....unloaded it....let it sit 'till he had time to tear into it....and that was the first thing he did....ripped off the bed and scrapped it. I think the world of Jolly....but that's where him and I part ways....I'd have spent the 1/2 million hours to restore that bed. I love the way it looks with the LCF. As far as I can tell....that set-up was designed for delivering modular buildings...The short W/B with the heavy hydraulic lift hitch coupled with a spot on both sides for stowing all of the tires once the building is set.

Re: (( 1960-1966 Chevy/GMC Pickup Truck Restoration/Modification/Customization Ideas
My first 62 Grill with 62 grill and 36 chrome kitchen drawer pulls floating in a blacked out wire mesh - Used plumbing pipe strap to set the spacing behind the hardware cloth... got lots of looks and "comments".
Then the same truck with a 60 grill that I made up using 3/16th's aluminum bar-stock set in 3 vertical pieces and polished. |

Re: (( 1960-1966 Chevy/GMC Pickup Truck Restoration/Modification/Customization Ideas
I assume you mean the 60 grill...
I'm afraid I don't have a better picture on the computer. I'll check to see if there is one floating aroung down in the garage and I can scan it in to show you guys a better view. |

Re: (( 1960-1966 Chevy/GMC Pickup Truck Restoration/Modification/Customization Ideas
Thanks!
We had some fun and feedback with the 62 grill - once people figured out what was going on there. The 60 treatment was my first serious attempt at a "custom" grill. I saved the drawer pull screen to bring another 62 grill out the same way just for old times sake! |

![]() It's a 1966 Chevrolet Custom Fleetside Pickup Jet black with red highlights and custom hood stripe. This truck has been fitted with 2002 Camaro components to include a fuel injected 5.7L / 310hp LS1 V-8, 4L60E automatic transmission, Camaro dash, bucket seats and center console, front suspension, and rear end. Fully optioned out with Power Disc Brakes, Power steering, Air Conditioning, Dual exhaust with XLerator mufflers, Leather interior, Dual air bags, Cruise control, Tilt steering, Power windows, Power locks, Power seats, Power remote side mirror, Day/night rear view mirror, AM/FM cassette radio, and 16" Chrome 5-star Camaro wheels. The 2" drop spindles, blacked out grill, and rear roll pans really finish this truck out nicely. 1966 Chevy truck that drives and handles like a late model Camaro. http://www.aeclassiccars.com/OnlineC...bum/index.html
