Re: 1966 "find and fix"
Getting more done, just basic reassembly mostly, nothing special. All of the drive train is back in. All hoses ran, battery cables etc... Didn't like the way my fuel line / filter looked, so I re plumbed that also. All fluids topped off.
Also rewiring under the hood using MADD electrical's kit, good high quality components, I am well pleased. Today I got my rally wheels painted on the back side, waiting for the rally silver to show up to paint the rest - then to the tire store.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
Started working on refurbishing the paint. Got the tail gate done, only took about 4 hours to do. Doesn't look to bad for 50 year old paint.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
I'm curious to know what tecinuqe and product you are using to rub the paint out? It does look good. I ask because i started doing this as well to a 65 and am usng Meguairs # 7 followed by wax. I found a article online that had a step by step on how to do this. What i am doing works, but man is it labor intensive.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
I am using No.7 polishing compound and Mothers cleaner/wax, and lots and lots of elbow grease. I am doing it by hand; I didn't want to machine it because the paint is thin and 50 years old. I figure time I am done I will have at least 20 hours in it if not more.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
I hear you on the "elbow grease". Takes a lot of rubbing to get that #7 off, mine kinda turns sticky and you have to keep rubbing and rubbing. No machine here either. Not sure 20 hours will even be enough. Just thought maybe you had come up with a little easier way.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
Well it's been awhile since I have been on here. Just been enjoying driving the truck. Been to several cruises / shows. It is interesting listening to people: "I had one like that", "when you going to paint it", "when you putting in LS", and on and on.
I did change a few things: * the weber ran really rich - I ended up rebuilding the old rochester and putting that back on. Much better, a few bugs to work out. * had the brake master rod too long, wouldn't let the back brakes release good - made an adjustment there. * made a set of new side boards for the bed. * repainted and lettered the old dealer step bumper.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
Been awhile - enjoyed the truck over the summer. We (wife and I) went to several car shows and cruises. We also have a group of people that go for a ride on Tuesday's, usually 5 - 8 vehicles, and then stop to eat.
Bad news is engine gets about 75 miles per quart of oil ! Old motor was just wore out. Pulled it out first part of October, had it rebuilt at Baldwin Racing Engines . Waiting on him to run it on his dyno. Motor is bored .030 over, cam, offenhauser intake, 390cfm Holley carb, also picked up a 292 exhaust manifold for it. Hopefully I will have a video when we run it on the dyno.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
Been awhile ...... Just been driving the truck - cruises and car shows. For what ever reason folks around here don't appreciate patina old paint and such. Motor doing good. Had some carb. problems with the holley at first. Ended up changing the power valve, and jetting it up some.
Last fall put a saginaw 4 speed in it (see pics). A lot more fun to drive than the 3 on the tree.

Re: 1966 "find and fix"
Wife says we need power brakes, power steering, and air. Who am I to argue. So I started searching for brackets for a straight six for the power steering pump . Very, very, rare to find, but I did manage to find a set from Desert Valley in Arizona. So this is my next project.............
