Re: Your 2011 Plans For Your 60-66?

I plan to bring the parts that are currently sitting in the cab outside into the basement. I have some parts in a stall in the barn that also need to come in. I hope to make a dolly for the cab and put a tarp over the darn thing. I've got to decide whether to build a 2-wheel drive or stick with my original plan of a 4-wheel drive. I guess the main plan is to allow it to continue to age. Of course it would be cool to find some axles and springs to put under the frame, but I don't want to over-reach.

Re: Your 2011 Plans For Your 60-66?

Hmmm... install new rear bumper, new door locks, seatbelts and mirrors. Rattle can paint the box to match the front a bit better. Install the LS 6.0L/4L80 that I just finished pulling from the donor truck. Pipe c-notch the rear too.

Re: Your 2011 Plans For Your 60-66?

I hope to sort through my pile of parts and have enough to build a truck. I may try to trade my almost running 81 Short wide with 454/th400 for a running 60-66 c10.

Mechanically sound.
Then I will move on to looks.
For 2011 = get it to be a safe and dependable rig - that's it.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Your 2011 Plans For Your 60-66?

Plan to rebuild the 350.....using oil somwhere, while the engine is out will repaint the engine compartment, also a complete brake job. After that if the cash cow holds out, hope to redo the interior

Re: Your 2011 Plans For Your 60-66?

My plans? Actually work on it.

More specifically, however, I hope to find a frame that we can steal from another truck to put under my '66.

That's about the only goal I have set for it. Gotta keep it realistic as far as I'm capable of doing.
