New 1966 truck project!

[La Hot Rods]

And it will get a 327, well it may be 331 after rebuild.

 

[Clint]

An actual vintage 327?

 

[La Hot Rods]

Yes, with some vortec heads.

 

[Clint]

Will be a good setup

Those older Chevy trucks that had the long truck arms did ride good!

Engine is home....

Engine and transmission are mocked up.

Looks like a good fit in that truck.

 

[Clint]

It is pretty much mounted in the six cylinder position. It has a lot of room behind it and about 3 inches from the radiator.

[Clint]

Donor bed all cut up and and ready to be mated to the 66 bed sides.

Thats not a wood floor like 60 to 66 used on Bed, whats the deal?? I think i understand what you are doing, newer Bed floor with 66 sides.

Correct. I am not a fan of the wood beds. If you want it to look nice you can not use it like a truck. So this is will be a lot more user friendly and will stand up to wood hauling a lot better.

So that's a 73 up floor or??

Yep 73-87.. 67-72 works as well and probably a little better from what I can find
