Hah! I have that truck all over my computer. I like that. Color is a little playful though. Black would be awesome. Kinda hard to keep clean though.

Truck has 65 fender emblems, 66 grill, a V8 and has seatbelts as seen in the pic Did you see the pic of the back side of a long box flareside with farmers diaper that I posted?

Lookin good! I am heavily biased to the Flareside. Looks like you need to deflate to exit. Have you ever considered jacking up your garage?

No my truck is a factory short box Flareside 2 wh dr. The long box Flareside only looks good on a 4x4 and I cannot afford to build them all

I agree. They look very long and low. I wish I had the money to build one the way I see it.

Your truck is looking just fine! Keep up the good work! Now that you are done with the chassis are you going to keep us posted more in the 61-66 forum? The dentside forum is too busy for me lol.

That one is closer to what I would like. I am not sure tu tone looks good on a Flareside. There is another black and white on the net that is made to look like a cop cruiser and actually looks really good

It is imperative to buy one of these and paint it to match your truck. It would be a guarenteed trophy winner at a show if you had both

That is a Baja attempt at a 66 if you look behind the push bar. The centre section of the 66 grill is there. Gotta get going for the week. Have fun on your test drive.
