I know this has been covered again and again & I have spent the past couple days going over a ton of threads on this topic (including ones from the 'other' sites but alot of the threads (and alot of opinions!)I have seen are a few years old & alot can change & be discovered in a few year...

One thing to think about when buying new moldings, is that new will not match old. Untill you have the new ones next to old ones you won't realize how much difference there is. Rich thats a good thing in my case because mine are so beat to $#!+ that they stand out like a sore thumb so if the reprod...

thanks Rick! you will be hearing from me shortly!

good to know because yes my 66 is an F100, I asked the guy what it came off & he said a '62 F100 so I thought it might work. Well if anyone needs one he's asking $45 I came across it at www.car-part.com item #MJ0883. I will continue my hunt for the regular 3 spoke, I'll post an ad here in the cl...

thanks, looks good, Now that I see it in a truck it looks about the same size & concave depth as the standard 3 spoke wheels?

I have been looking for a steering wheel replacement for my '66 as mine has one from a late 70s which just looks out of place, I received a reply from an ad from a guy with a picture of this one. I am not quite familiar with the steering wheel options in slicks yet, but most of the ones I have seen ...

On my longbed the aluminum trim is pretty beat up and I would like to replace it. Some parts I know I should get from a more reputable vendor like DC who I know sells quality parts, but some parts do come from the same manufacturer as for this part I am wondering which direction to go Dennis Carpent...

I was in the same boat a while back found this link quite informative...

Thanks for the info, threw a block in the cab with me to use as 'park' & off to the shop we go

Can anyone give me some quick ideas? I fired it up took it around the back alley, went to drive away and column shift jammed in park. 302 with AOD, I tried rocking it back and forth and wiggling on the linkage underneath, but something is stuck, need to get it out of the alley as I am blocking neigh...

Thanks for all the input. Seeing as I plan on continuing to use the slick as a daily driver for the next few summers, and the winters are long up here I have decided to take advantage of the long winter do the front disc upgrade. I look forward to the improvement and peace of mind seeing as the city...

Wants vs needs. I have been going thru alot of the links, questions and writeups on here about the later model front disc swaps & as much as I WANT to have disc's I am starting to question whether or not I need them, maybe you guys can sway me one way or another, my '66 is just a daily driver in...

Good eye! The loading ramp by the tracks seemed like a good spot for a quick couple pictures after leaving the nearby carwash.

I actually took the tailgate off yesterday and took it for a drive & the noise was still there, so tailgate is ruled out, ubolts and bed bolts are tight this week I will looker deeper into it & definately check out the leaf spring eye bushings. I cant wait to get this demon, nothing bothers ...

nope,I replaced the shocks earlier this summer, and shock mounts are solid, checked again this morning incase one of the shocks was a dud or blown, they all checked out fine

My '66 longbed (summer daily driver) has been a bit of a rattletrap, I have been slowly been eliminating them, but there is one bad one that concerns me coming from the back half of the truck when I hit any pothole or sharp bump, railroad crossing etc. I thought it was the tailgate & (made a pos...

Thank for all the great suggestions, I decided to go with the vicegrips Kidding, drilled the shaft out for now and put a self tapper in in temporarily, I will definately be looking at some of these other options further down the road. thanks

On my '66 daily driver both the window crank splines are stripped (on the shaft of the window regular as well as the handle itself.) the screw, when tightened about as tight as it can get only feels like a temporary quickfix. Just wondering if anyone has a fix for this, other than new parts.

lol thats the plan regardless ,but he 150 miles away so I thought I check first if anyone happens to know if it would fit beforehand

I have been looking around for a different steering wheel for my 66, right now it has one from a 77 & just doesnt look right, a friend of mine has a steering wheel from a 62 tbird & said I can have it for a case of beer, just wondering what the chances are that the splines would match up etc?
