You know it hasn't cross my mind yet. I picked it up few weeks ago from some young kid down the block for 900 bucks. it was flat black. My wife likes the color blue, but leaning towards omaha orange or hugger orange. For now its a daily driver while i work on it.

I stared at pictures of it on my computer wishing I wasn't in Iraq!!!

REDNOSE65 · 12-17-2010, 12:39 PM

I did some sanding on Red Nose yesterday. Hope to buff it out soon!!!

Got the entire dash Painted. It had to be painted first so it could be masked off when the rest of the cab gets done. The grey top looks killer INHO.

That looks both beautiful and authentic. Great job.

Thanks Guys, Its getting real close, got that itch way down low to get her finished FAST so I can get the wiring and other goodies in. I'm bringing the seat to be covered next week, the grey on the seat cover matched he dash top nicely.

Hollywood64 · 12-17-2010, 02:17 PM

Started my flat black RC paint job!

willyp · 12-18-2010, 12:39 AM

installed a new hood/radiator seal then new defroster hoses. what a royal PITA!

TwoFiftyShifter · 12-19-2010, 12:49 AM

I worked on my bed. Grinded the old rusty strips off, started sanding and priming the bed and will put new strips on tomorrow. Not a whole lot.

neto · 12-20-2010, 11:53 PM

Put the gas tank in. 19 gallons from CPP. Fits good but a pain to drill the holes.

old cruiser · 12-22-2010, 05:43 AM

Made myself a pressure bleeder for my brakes, now my 64 has got a pedal that doesn,t go to the floor

kieth · 12-22-2010, 07:19 PM

Here is link to my 66 gmc build, it show all pictures, before teardown and to date. Right now we are waiting on a new belt tensioner, spark plug wires, plugs, and for paint to dry so we can finish the accessory drive . also just got the new e barke parts for the passenger side so we can install that tomorrow.

Sealed holes in cab floor, installed sound deadener (from The Truck Shop) and did some more body work on the Camaro dash.

*lakeroadster* · 12-29-2010, 07:53 PM

Reinstalled Carpeting.

Previous Owner had installed carpet out of a later model truck. Since the truck will end up as a shop truck / patina'd warhorse, I decided to just reinstall the carpet. It doesn't fit perfect and it is faded, but it will be just fine.

gulffishin · 12-29-2010, 11:37 PM

Ha!, I put carpet in my truck today too!

willyp · 12-30-2010, 03:18 PM

My 15 year old daughter took her first drive in the 66 last night. I was sweating bullets.

SRVBLUES64 · 12-30-2010, 08:20 PM

Were warming up here in Indiana its at least 36 as for the truck Im waiting for more parts, but that will be installed in the spring but I look at it everyday getting new Ideas.

kalirodding · 12-23-2010, 10:47 PM

We went to the car wash, since the sun was out and is wasn't raining. Met a guy there who had a 65 Step. Pretty nice truck, except the camper shell.

andyh1956 · 12-23-2010, 11:43 PM

the other day i rode over to alabama & picked up the 455 buick that i bought while i was in afghanistan. today i checked and it was ALMOST locked up. a half a can of pb & lots of rocking back & forth & now she turns just fine. will see what she looks like with the heads off later but for now this will have to do. turned out to be a '72 single exhaust, prolly outta an electra or something. it should push the old '66 great!
