So does anyone have a good source for the copper gaskets in case I can't get them around here? The previous gaskets I used were FelPro but were not copper.
Will have to wait until after Christmas anyway. I don't know if Santa or Obama cost me more this year!
Thanks guys!

I have a 352 3 speed in my 66 truck. I have put 3 exhaust manifold gaskets on the passenger side. First time manifold was cracked. 2nd I got another manifold after about 3 days it blew again and was told manifold was warped. Guy sends me another and this time I had it "trued" at a local ma...

Thanks Bird!

Mine is the same blue as shown. That cover looks really nice. What is approximate cost on that cover if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks.....ezrodder

I remember posting this before. I just don't remember if it was on this site or another one. Anyway........... My 66 CC SWB is all original (other than grille) and still has the original seat covers, however they are in pretty sad shape ( got some 200 mph tape covering the drivers side :shock: ). It...

No doubt about it. You built my truck. That's exactly the way I had mine pictured right down to the spider caps. Other than the red interior in yours, it's exactly the way I want to do mine and there's nothing wrong with the red, mine just happens to be blue.

Excellent Job!!!!!

Yeah I'm familiar with the square ones with the woodgrain. The ones I am talking about are the round ones that had a blunt point on each end. Chevrolet had something like them on a few of the early El Caminos I don't know if the Rancheros had them or not. They were mostly for looks, I would not want...

Did the 65-66 come out with any Factory Option bed rails? My 2 previous 65 and 66 both had rails that were chrome and were made from round tube with bullet type ends. The brackets if I remember correctly were angled forward. They were probably aftermarket but just thought I'd ask some of the experts...

Strange...we have my wife's 69 firebird insured with Grundy for 17,500 worth of coverage and our premium is like 260.00 yearly for full coverage.

I was thinking about buying one of those FM converters they sell on EGAY. I used one on my 442 in High School and it worked fine.
Any reason it wouldn't for the F100s? Best I can remember is around 25 bux.

That is a truck I would walk past at a show. I can appreciate the work that went into it but thats about all. It just doesn't appeal to me. I like my truck a whole lot better as is....but that is my taste and not the owners. I didn't contribute any work to the build and he didn't call for my suggest...

Found a "NEW" passenger side exhaust manifold for my 66 352 on ebay from "Your Parts Store".

Was wondering if anyone here has ever used one from there and what quality was like.

Thanks......Steve

I have to own/drive a vehicle a while to give it a name. I've probably not put more than 150 miles on my 66 since I got it in July 07. So right now its just the "Truck" or the 66. After discovering a new exhaust manifold leak this past week POS and SOB are good possibilities. Steve .....EZ...

SEC...Heck we play a bowl game every weekend. I never was a fan of the "PAC 1" or "Big 2" Conferences. Remember Notre Dame back in the late 70's and early 80's? Could lose 3 straight and still be in the top 10 poll. On Leinhart and Young the thing you gotta remember is they never...

Don't know if I can call myself a street rodder but definitely am a hot rodder. Trying to lay claim the an A bone coupe I located, Y block 3x2s or dual quad, screw the noise gonna run zoomies on it. I hear ya on the hotrodder tag. I just like old cars/trucks. Don't care if they are street rods hot ...

Maybe off topic a bit but I use my 66 as a parts chaser for my rodding habit and just wondered if any other members were into street rods too.

I am in the (extremely slow) proces of building a 48 Pontiac convertible.

Not a rod but my wife has a 69 Firebird and really likes the 66.

Does anybody have a source for the clips that hold the trim that goes around the inserts to the door?

As I said my truck had several things taken apart or from it when I got it and I can't find any clips for this trim.

Thanks guys/gals

Good looking project! the seat emblem is new on me very tastefull tho but the ROO BAR would get bent back if you hit a big red,if its only bolted to the bumper bar. Alan, My 66 Slick has that same emblem in the midle of the seat. The only re-pop seat covers I've found that are supposed to be "...
