hey looks like my slick has a twin lol...

I had some smaller speaker put into the headliner panel where the dome light goes. they were lightweight and worked pretty good. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m29/fedorov_rocks/66F100/mvc-005x.jpg I agree, I have them in the same location in my slick, (if you dont want to cut up the headliner ...

My 66 Custom Cab. summer daily driver, 302 Aod. nothin special, actually used as a 'truck' & reliable. Big plans for her future (pics make make her look in better shape than she actually is.)

I mounted a pair of 5" mids in the headliner, (the upper rear angled section where the interior light is mounted) I am very happy with it because your head is close to the speakers so the sound projecting downward toward is great without having to crank it up, they are also a little more out of...

When I purchased my slick it sported (& still does) a set of eagle alloys and seeing as the truck is far from a show truck these rims look a little over the top (and now outdated, imho they are better suited for a mid 90s chevy 1500) I was thinking of replacing them with a set of old wagon wheel...

Just a quick question about coils. The donor truck for my slick was a 78 Camper special (460) (My slick has a 302.) I was originally planning on transferring the whole front end unit to the slick, but I am wondering if these springs (especially after cutting a coil off) would be too stiff for comfor...

My adapter came in today, put the new wheel on tonight.

thanks. she got me the black wheel. ..looks like they do have an adapter for 79^

I just wasnt sure if the PO just left the 66 column & took a 79 wheel/collar & mounted it on the 66 column (if that even works without heavy modification)

My awesome wife bought me a Mooneyes steering wheel for my slick http://i45.tinypic.com/90tybr.jpg However I need to get an adapter & from what I've found I can simply use a Grant adapter, but I am not sure what year my column/steering wheel the PO retrofitted, its obviously mid-late 70's wheel ...

Found another donor truck for my slick, a 79 Ranger Lariat supercab longbox, the guy that is selling it doesnt know a whole lot about vehicles by the sound of it, he 'thinks' has a 351. (which doesnt really matter to me because I am mainly buying it for the front discs etc.) & will end up partin...

good to know. Thanks, looking forward to having tilt!

you beat me to the Cheech & Chong

I tried the search and I 'think' I got my answer but still not confident, gotta ask to make sure, I am getting my 79 donor truck for my 66 & it has a tilt column, just want to make sure is this a fairly straight forward swap for my '66 non tilt? (both trucks power steering, both trucks automatics)

I stumbled across a similar video, then read up alot on this practice as my budget is probably similar to yours & I am going to give it a shot this spring. I was skeptical at first, but I dont see a problem with it, it doesnt seem to affect the integrity of the tire as long as you dont get carri...

I just found a 79 donor for my slick, mainly for front discs/dual master cylinder etc. seeing as I wont have the space to keep it around I will probably end up plucking everything off it that would be beneficial to my 66, then end up donating the remains to a buddy who is restoring a 74. I tried sea...

I love the look! I am aiming for a similar stance. How much is the rear lowered and what size are your rear tires if you dont mind me asking?

Awesome, thats the route I'm going to go, that stance looks great on that truck. Thanks

By cutting coils (and bending beams) am I on track expecting about 2" to 2.5" being the max I'd want to push before I start asking for trouble?

Ive read that alot about the dream beams being junk & the AIM beams being slightly better but still enough complaints about kingpin bushing fitment issues to make me not want to spend 500+
