C/10 King · 06-28-2012, 11:24 PM

Gracefully submitted for your viewing pleasure,....The new and improved patina-ed 66' dubbed the "Grey Goose", a very special thanks to our own Kev's classic's for the tilt column and steering wheel comb. and not to mention the 3/5 lowering job that he did,....And also a big C/10 thanks to Del for hooking me up with this one of a kind beautiful "Bad Azz" seat!!!!

BTW... did anybody notice the "New moldings"

It's coming along!

**jocko** · 06-29-2012, 12:00 AM

very nice Rene... So, now that you've come over to the dark side, which do you like better, 67-72 or 60-66!?!?! (i realize that's a loaded question with no right answer - like asking mom which is her fave kid...)

Dinos63 · 06-29-2012, 12:04 AM

nice work king!

Truck looks great. Still can’t get over that seat, and is that an original tilt column? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before.

pestwagon · 06-29-2012, 05:27 AM

beautiful job Rene ! (previous owner)....arm is 100% better, back at work....

K5 Addiction · 06-29-2012, 10:18 AM

I'd love to hear more about that tilt column as well. I want one to look as stock as possible & work with the original steering wheel. Looks like you accomplished that quite well.

You know, since I'm local I just may take a ride over to Del's and see if he isn't hog tied and gagged somewhere in his shop.

Thanks guys, I think the front is still a little high (3/5 drop) but the ride is the same, I'll probably go with dropped spindles next.

At first he didn't want to part with the seat when I tried to bribe him with tequila, so then I took matters into my own hands!!!!

Yeah, you can go untie him now.

black_sheep454 · 06-29-2012, 01:53 PM

I'm guessing in a previous life it probably came out of a chevy van, but don't quote me.

Naw, it didn't hurt, and I drove today for an hour in 90 degree heat,......butt I really had pack on the baby powder in the hard to reach places. (Sweaty) Come to think about it the plastic might be coming off after all.
