Shortwide, None taken, I agree. The New one does not have near the style as the slick

nice trucks!

true that slicks shine as work trucks. I loaded myself and the Mrs., and well over a half ton of garden stuff in the bed of my 2wd today and took off for the interstate. The 240 accelerates and runs exactly the same as she does empty and easily does the work. I did notice the drum brakes were taking a little longer to stop the truck though.

Hey Brooms,
The 66 isn't dirty enough though, but I agree...the newer one
is like the red-headed step-child.

I like the bumper you have there.

I plan to use a modded front bumper for my rear one right now.

CropDuster, I try to keep the 66 clean. When I bought it I removed everything from the cab, and bed, and used a hotsy to clean it all. It was pretty bad. It took 2 years, but it is liveable, working toward being a good 20 ft truck, I can still do work with.

Hey partner, do you know if your style rear bumper would fit on a 66 flareside?

My bumper is made from steel plate. I could take some measurements. If anyone is a good welder, and has access to a bunch of plate steel then you could fab one up.
