No that is one cool project. I had thought about putting in a corvette suspension on mine but since it's a long bed, I didn't think it would work good because...
Yep, all with a Lincon MIG and a few other common tools in my garage. I did all the body work myself before I got the vette. The driver's side isn't done but...
Sounds good. Glad to hear YOUR doing the work and not farming it out. Wish you lived close by as I think we could build some killer machines together. We seem...
What a motor! I dig it. Why not just chop 12" out of the frame and convert to short bed? The bedsides can be cut down 12" in front and 8" in the rear. It...

I have 32s in the rear of my 66 but the front tires are P235 70R15. It made a signifigant difference in the height of the truck (especially the rear). The ...
I found out the key must be turned counter-clockwise(soon to be an unknown word due to digital clocks) or the opposite way and then it comes out Thanks Tom ......
Naw, I want something different. That's why I'm only moving the rear axle forward about 9 inches. That will put the fenders dead center on the bed and make it...
Differnt is cool. It will definately fit that bill. Not sure about the re-sale value, but if you're like me, that's not the object. Post pics as you make...
Now that summer is here, I need to have maximum "A/C". The passenger window in my '61 will not roll down. It is in the fully up position, and the crank does...
John, I don't know your level of expertise so I'll probably provide more detail than you need: Usually I've seen the crank gear wear down and eventually it...

Thanks for the correction. I haven't messed with my 61 doors for a while, but you're right. Why couldn't GM have left it that way... -Mike ... like a ... ...
Well, like I said a lot of it is worn out springs, which I plan on replacing- just looking for options on a couple extra inches. I have the 283/4spd box combo...
Mike, Thanks for the great information. I pulled the handles and door panel off with no trouble. The truck had recently been painted, so it was pretty...
Good to hear. Just FYI, WD-40 is good for breaking things loose, but it won't last. If you want smooth operation for years to come use the white litium...
Hello! Just wanted to drop a note to introduce myself! I just purchased a 1961 Apache 10 shorty stepside yesterday. I had a dream about 2 years ago that I was...
I joined not long before you. I also have a '61 short stepside. Mine will be far from stock when complete. I'm in Portland Or. Welcome, Mike ... truck ... ...

Okay, it's time for the hard stuff. Has ANYONE converted to pulse wipers on their 64-66? I am using a tilt column from a 94 pickup and I really want to convert...
