That is great to see if move under its own power like that. This is an awesome build!

I think the stance looks fine. I am a 4wd kind of guy though, so my opinion probably doesn't count much. LOL

Unrelated question for you if you don't mind. How do you get the YouTube videos to show up in your posts like that? Thanks!

That's what I did, and I just got a blue link. That was the first time I have uploaded a video to YouTube, so maybe didn't do something right. Seems to be working though. Thanks!!

It seems that all you will get in the box you are typing in but when you upload it the system will identify it and show the youtube window in the post..

Look, not trying to be a turd or negative, just asking...
looking at the door and cab line and following it back along the bed, it looks like the bed is high in the back and the bed is too close to the cab.
Is that just the photo??

Great eye, no it is not the picture. When I built the cross members for the bed I intentionally left them low so I could build up to the point I needed instead of down. The bed is just sitting in place in order to get an idea of the wheel base and centering in the wheel well. The front end is only on with a few bolts in order ensure it all centers up also. I am still not done with the inner fenders so it all has to come apart a few more times. i have to find a place for all the wires and clear the suspension a little more then add some finish work to not look like someone took a cut off wheel to them!!!

I am really hung up on the stance. I want it to be more level and maybe a little lower. So I am trying to get as much weight on it as I can so I know how it is going to set.

My bed also needs quite a bit of work an dI have to figure out how to run the gas filler through the role pan or do away with the role pan and go with a bumper like I originally planned. But the role pan is kinda growing on me.

Digging the flag inspired paint job . Look more and more like a 64 than a 94

Hacked up the bed of a doner truck to get some parts to fix the bed where a the previous owner had mutilated one side putting in cadallac tail lights. I have to get a few more parts but then off to the south salvage yards... Oh and put rat poison out because it houses the biggest fattest rat I have ever seen. It is the size of a squirrel.. I have to get inside and get the late 60's low back buckets out of it because they have got to be worth something. I am not telling my step-son that he was sitting in the cab with the big thing when we loaded it on the trailer...

[E911manager]

Worked on filling the factory gas neck hole and also the new gas fill location in the role pan. No pics yet but hopefully will have some by the end of the week.

[E911manager]

Painted the firewall under the inner fenders. Started prepping the door jams, firewall and dash for paint.. Ordered the paint and prep stuff today, planning to shoot it all on Sunday if everything works out...

[E911manager]

Tried to shoot some paint on Sunday and it was a disaster. Either airborn particles or the wrong hardener.... sanded off what I tried and will try again later. Buddy of mine has offered his paint booth so I might take him up on it..

Halfway done with the Scott's Big Back Window kit... Got the inside cut out and hope to finish it tomorrow...

[66ChevyMax]

Take your buddy up on the paint booth. Sorry to hear you had a problem, good luck with that back window

Caprick-up looks great, best Hybrid I have seen that I would drive....If the fuel fill in the back won't work caprice wagons were the same style tank filled from the left. 1st page I thought only thing missing on this build was the big back window in the cab... BAM....you got that 2...Nice work...Ed.

[redneck6]

any up dates to this

[E911manager]

Well, I bought a house and have been putting a lot of time into it. i had to lean toward the hobby that makes money instead of costing so much..

When I ran into issues with the paint, I decided to get the cab totally ready.. I have the big back glass kit all welded in and cut out. Started working on the filling it in.. Next cab corners then I should be ready... Paint just will not lay down in my open top, open side, dirt floor shop.. So I have to take a guy up on his paint booth.. But that means the cab has to come off AGAIN, or I have to trailer it up there..

Oh bought a new Travel trailer too, so the wife made me gathe rup my project and straighten up the back yard...

[E911manager]

Here are some pics of the BBW. It was not as easy as i thought.. I started filling it, now off with the bed and take care of some minor issues with the cab corners.. Replacing with new metal..

Its lake time too, so not much time to work on it.. But keep me motivated!!!

[redneck6]

bad arse do you have a link to bbw conversion ?

[66-PMD-GMC]

Booth s the only way if you have access to one. Trailer it. I can't imagine moving a cab with fresh paint... Yiiippes!

[66-PMD-GMC]

E911manager, I know you won't be offended by this question.
Why is it that so many people want a big back window 60-66 and the 67-72 guys are always looking for the small window cab???
In Arizona, the small window cab gives me a place to hide from the sun...

[TowwDogg]

I like the small back window myself, 64-65-66 chevys are a favorite of mine.

I think the small back window is what gives the body style of the truck it's unique, "old school" character but a guy should do what he wants with his own truck. Whatever floats yer boat. I sold both of my BBW trucks... not my style but lots of guys are sure converting the small to big... that's foe show..
My favorite is a 63.. then the 4,5 and 66...
The 64 Caprick-up is a work of art..
