Looking for a gauge cluster with Tach. Factory or aftermarket. Thanks

I have a 66 c-10, wondering if anybody new what later model seats my fit with the least mods. I would like a seat for three with three point restraints. Any imput would be appreciated.

Thanks for the imput!

Thanks for the imput. I don't want to lower it for a couple of reasons, one the roads in Maine are not the best and I don't care for the look of a lowered truck. Perhaps some new shocks and springs is all I can do. Thanks again

Wondering what the best way to improve my handling and suspension. It was updated before I got it with disc brakes and what seems to be new steering and linkage parts. It had a 283 and now has a crate 350. Seems like it needs more than new shocks. Do I need to put heavier coils in the...

Rustbucket How about a rachet strap?

Please keep in mind I am a builder not a mechanic. I have just been told I have a cylinder that is loosing compression. I brought the truck to a mechanic I checked out with friends and ref. and I trust him to use me right. I brought it to him to install the new 4bbl,intake,headers, etc...

Thanks A lot of conflicting advice out there, just thought I would ask someone with the same set up. The truck had factory manifolds and 1.5 " with flowmaster mufflers, 2 bbl. How much improvement can I expect? Thanks again.

What determines the size of the exhaust pipe on my 66 chevy with a 283 that I have added a 600 cfm edelbrock and a set of basic flowtech headers. Is the 1.5 inch dual exhaust that i have now with flowmasters enough? thanks

Rustbucket I found another I had saved,older truck but same idea. customclassictrucks.comtecharticles/0903 bed wood

I am sure this is old news but I would like to hear your opinions on what oil to run in a 66 with from what I know is the original 283. Thanks:

Rustbucket I bought it as is. I was told it is Daytona Yellow. That is all I have on that. I might suggest you drill the new boards after you get the old ones out, using them for a template. Once I had it marked out I drilled a small pilot hole 1/16 +_ then started the larger 1/4+- from both...

Rustbucket I meant to tell you I started with the narrow strips first and worked my way to the center. An eighty pound helper (in stocking feet) is a plus! Did you buy it predrilled? As hooked up said don't overtighten, you will need someone topside to make sure they are in the square hole...

Rustbucket I just finished my bed wood project,bought some quarter sawn white oak from a local mill and made my own . It had a ten year old stainless bolt and strip kit in it and I reused it. I removed the bed to perform it with a lot more access. If you are able to get some help I think...

Sounds good,maybe in a few weeks ,I should have mine on the road. I will drive it up. Do you know of a source for the chrome striker plate on the vent windows? I am redoing mine, I have the gasket kit ,new handles etc. The chrome plate on the post is tired and I would like to change it while I...

Belgrade Lakes. Radiant seems to work good in cement. Did you insulate under it? How are you heating it?

Nice looking rig! Good job.

Leyland Thanks for the good info. This site has some great experience to offer and I am glad I found it. Don't let my handle fool you I am a friendly person. The "leavmeb" is my license plate on the 66'. About Thurs. I have usually reached my one thousand call limit on the cell and when I...
