LOL! I did the same thing Paranoid.

Hey guy! I'm in Hillsboro. I'm hoping to make some late summer & early fall cruises with my '66 short bed.

Welcome to the sight. You will find it very imformative,at least I have. I don't seem to get on very often,but I've got a lot of helpful comments when I do.It's a great sight.

Hello Gentlemen! It's been almost 10 mo. since my truck went to Big Nasty Motorsports for the transformation that began because of a few paint chips. It was close to being done earlier. So close,that we decided it needed a test drive. Lo & behold a rod bearing started making noise,so I've ordere...

Gentlemen, if I can get tech. savvy enough, I will post pics. Maybe I can get my sweet,wonderful,loving wife(think that will do it?) to help me get some pics up soon. I wanted pics of the whole process,but failed to do so. I apologize. Y'all hae a good weekend!

Well guys,it's been quite a while since I've been on. My truck is coming along slow,but coming along very well. All the emblems & side chrome have been removed, body seams welded closed & smoothed,new power window units installed & copletely rewired with a painless wiring kit. It has a n...

Thanks ezernut9mm! Thats what my truck will look like.(minus the side chrome)& different wheels of course.

Thanks Guys for the nice comments and the pics. The pics helped a lot on the orange & black combo. I was reading what I wrote and it sounded as if I was doing the work, I only wish I was that talented. Big Nasty Motorsports in Hillsboro,Mo. is doing the work for me. Hillsboro is in the St.Louis ...

Well all the questions about lowering and I haven't got to it yet.I put in the garage and started marking spots that needed some work on the body and things changed drasticly. Paint chips,dings,&about half a dozen spots showing the beginnings of rust involved every panel except one.Things went f...

Thanks Txslick. I was wondering about that. I think I want the complete kit for front & rear.

Thanks Randyr!I appreciate the info.I will probably have to wait a little while tho and I will keep you guys posted. Everyone of the members here has been great during the short time that I've been checking out this site. Semotrucker,I live in Hillsboro,Mo. just off Hwy.21.about 40 miles south of St...

Thanks again gentlemen for your time and input.I really want to run a more classic style wheel so I may go dream beam.And,you are absolutely right about handling.It drives like a farm wagon,even with a rebuilt power steering box.These 2 lane Missouri roads make you pay close attention.The more I dri...

Thanks guys for your time and info. I may clip it,I'm looking at all options. I bought this truck with a 400 engine & c6 trans.The 400 sounds great,but is a real pooch. But after reading some info here on helping it perform,i may keep it.I do enjoy this truck,even if it is a pooch.

Has anyone got any experience with the DJM dream beams?Any alignment problems. I will be driving this truck 80 miles daily.

DJM makes drop beams for the twin I beam drop. They are not cheap,but I believe it would be the safest and they provide the correct geometry. the DJM kits are for front & rear.

DJM makes dream beams.They are not cheap,but i hope to use them on my '66 F-100.
