Your 2011 Plans For Your 60-66? - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

az65 · 01-03-2011, 03:08 PM

My plans are to replace my worn out 3spd tranny with another one I have so I don't hear the clunkity clunk of first gear anymore. Next on the list is a static drop for the front to even things out a bit and upgrade my brakes.

BR3W CITY · 01-03-2011, 03:19 PM

finish my lq4 swap, and finish the rough body work (it doesn't have to be 1 color, just don't want any holes in it). If I can get those done, maybe convert to power disc?

jchav62 · 01-03-2011, 03:46 PM

Paint and body on the '65. And get another 700r4 in there...

Other than that drive 'em!!

aggie91 · 01-03-2011, 10:27 PM

Well, since the motor and trans are now in the frame rails, I plan on getting to move under its own power. Possibly drive it. I would like to make at least one of the Texas Goodguys shows with it this year...it won't be pretty to look at, but it will run and drive!

speedkills · 01-04-2011, 12:31 AM

bodywork and paint in jan/feb

airbags/suspension may/jun

350/700r4 sept/oct

and hope i can drive it through out the year

el_bole · 01-04-2011, 01:56 AM

Drop the 327 thats beening rebuilt ASAPinto my '61 Apache, take care of rust on roof...

Mechanic77 · 01-04-2011, 10:00 AM

Hopefully finish mine....oh, and get internet at home so I can actually start a build thread to show off my work

Indian113 · 01-04-2011, 10:25 AM

I hope to put a overdrive trans in and AC. The one thing I have to do is rebuild frontend and replace steering column.

Five years ago today (1/1/11), my beloved uncle pasted away. He had a 66 chevy truck when i was little and sold it over 25 years ago. It was always a dream to get the truck and lucky me I have a wonderful wife who bought the truck for me this morning on the anniversary of my Uncle Bernie's passing

Congratulations! Sounds like a great Uncle and a great wife. You're a lucky man indeed.

What are your plans for the truck?

KIC · 01-04-2011, 11:35 PM

Wow..good deal. But you do now realize there are going to be about 10,000 guys trying to get your wife and your truck now.... what a pair !

markeb01 · 01-05-2011, 12:14 AM

Welcome to the forum. Great story, gotta love trucks with a family history. And a supportive wife to make it all happen. Very cool!

old cruiser · 01-05-2011, 02:47 AM

Plan is to register it so I can drive it legally for change. Then keep tinkering on it while keeping it driveable.

lol thats a good one i think i need to that to befor i put more money in to my truck

**Chevy Fleetside** · 01-06-2011, 09:05 PM

I would just like to hear it run. Driving it would be a big plus. Acually driving any one of my trucks would be nice, although i will probably sell the 66.

SRVBLUES64 · 01-06-2011, 09:40 PM

Plans are to hope for the end of winter first!!!!! Im looking for a cool wheels 6 lug for my truck, im not changing the pattern. Finish my patina faux paint job, get my engine and trans in, lower the truck, put it together and drive it!!!!!!!! any body have any wheels ideas?

chevykid65 · 01-06-2011, 10:05 PM

with any luck get my motor this weekend and have it installed in my 65 swb fleetside by monday and get my title processed so i have something to drive while i track down a new frame for my 92 silverado. after swapping everything to a new frame resume work on my 65 lwb. halfway through a th350 install. and in the middle of all this im building a 77 k5 blazer for a friend. once thats finished i get to start on his 85 k5 converting it to 2wd and getting it slammed. does it sound as overwhelming to you guys as it does to me?

skysoldier173rd · 01-07-2011, 04:08 PM

Gas tank in cab is full of rust, so, gonna replace with new and move it to the bed, maybe a fuel cell. Anyway, that's a must. It's already trashed one carb due to rust and junk, so it's as good as gone. Got a little wiring to do on the brake lights. Also want to prime the whole truck and do something with the interior. It's road worthy now, but just a few little things left to do.
