Hopefully by the end of the weekend I will have the two cabs next to each other so I can see the difference myself. Until then I am just wanting to get input as to why different folks feel differently about the two style cabs. In case you guys can't tell I am "chomping at the bit" to tear into this project. Oh yeah, one other thing. My 66 Chevy truck has the original 283 and 4 speed manual trans still in it. I assume it was running (pretty fast if not good) when it was wrecked.

Still leaning towards the LS/auto though.

The term refers to the part of the windshield frame that protrudes into the door opening.. When you get out of the truck, you may "knock" your knee on the way out. Its never happened to me, but that's why its called it.

I like it because its a 50's style leftover in a little more modern truck, and the dash is cooler for the same reason.
