Thanks for the reply and info, Dennis. I was kind of afraid of that, but was considering shorties anyway just for the look and low-end capability. I had played around with running the exhuast outside the framerails because of my under bed mustang gas tank, so It looks like the thing to do now...

What kind of radiator is in your truck? Do you have a fan shroud? with my V8 the stock radiator for a '66 GMC (for a 305 V-6) did the trick. I only put in the V6 radiator becuase the one I had originally leaked to bad to fix and the GMC radiator was the same size, just with a bigger tank on...

Wow! Nice job! That's definately one of the nicest 60-66 chevy trucks I've ever seen and most likely the nicest '61. You should be proud! --Russ

I'd like to say yes. I think that they are really close but use a different balljoint. Just compare it to the original and make an educated decision. If you are doing a disk brake conversion with spindles I can't think of any reason why that control arm wouldn't fit, but maybe someone else...

Yeah, I think that those work pretty darn well too. I bought the cheap Harbor Freight version as well and it works as well as the Sharpe ($$$) variety I'd used before. I loved mine so much I bought the small touch up gun to match.

Lil, Its your lucky day! Check the mail! (email that is--I'm not that good. . . ) Russ:7

Oh the guilt! I just cut that piece off my frame last week! Its probably still in the trash, but I couldn't find it in the dark with my flashlight. If you really want it, let me know and I'll find it in the daylight. I didn't destroy it grinding off the rivets but there are some marks on it...

RE: Do I have the only 305 V6 in th It sounds like you've got a good project on your hands. I don't personally know anything about the GMC six cylinder motors, but http://www.6066gmctrucks.org should be of some help. It sounds like the grille is just a replacement chevy unit without the...

Welcome to the forum! It always good to see more people working on these trucks. Best of luck! --Russ

If you look really hard you just may be able find a column without the shifter or any provision for such from a truck that originally had a floor shifter. Heavier trucks should be a great source for this as many came with four speeds and other transmissions friendly to a floor shifter. I...

Sounds good man! I hate bodywork, but of course it absolutely has to be done. I spent this weekend block sanding the entire firewall of my truck in prep for paint soon. I hope all goes well--keep truckin' and enjoyin' --Russ

Hey good deal!

To the very best of my knowledge the grille would be the same as yours since it came off of my '65 stepside. The grilles for '64, '65 and '66 were all identical. The grille isn't really anything special, it is painted, not aluminum or chrome. The grille is in excellent shape, except for what I...

If you need the front headlight assemblies or a grille, I've got a complete front grille with headlights for FREE! The grill is in great shape with no rust or dents and the headlight assemblies have new adjusters and both lights work, except for the high beam on one side, but that's something...

I'm pretty sure that sway bars were a factory option on these trucks so there's a good chance that any sway bar that is made specifically for '63-70 trucks would fit without any drilling. I think plenty of these trucks even came with the front sway bar brackets already rivieted to the frame...

Hello and welcome to the forum! It sounds like you've got a pretty good project on your hands and a good direction. Best of luck! --Russ

[updated:LAST EDITED ON Feb-02-04 AT 09:38 PM (CST)]http://www.hotaugustnights.net should be of some help I think that the registration for Hot August Nights is already full, so if you are looking to show your truck you're most likely out of luck there. It didn't look like the Horizon...

RE: Update Hey thanks man, will do.

RE: Update Well, I spent all day dismantling my truck and boy am I dirty! I didn't quite finish everything, but I got real close. Everything is off; engine is still in, not hooked to anything('cept the trans), but still there. It'll come out tommorrow afternoon and then the work can begin...
