i guess it's time to start a build thread on the 66. my son & i went halves and bought this when he was 10 with his mowing money. he traded it and cash for the 68 Camaro SS project. then i bought it back cuz i wish i had never let my first car go. he pays for half of everything and i make him work on it too. it is still as we got it

1985 1/2 ton front end for pdb/ps, sway bar upgrade. crossmember bolts up with only 2 of 14 holes needing ovaled. it was hot this day. hopefully he remembers when his buddy wants him to ditch dive it.

just ordered this to add to the parts pile for the 5.3 swap

Cool project. Is it going to have a power adder?

[nomrlz]

not right away. this is goin to be a true DD. i'm not even planning on headers right now and may do a 2:1 stock style exhaust. it will be hauling the kids quad/dirtbike/mowing equip eventually when he gets his license. i am thinkin of upgrading the base 5.3 and gettin an L33. we had an 01 chevy bench with integrated shoulder belt. sold em when he traded this and i was spose to buy em back but the guy didn't want me to have em . i even want a stock style airbox for now and cruise. wife says a/c is on her list. eventually i may put a whipple/radix/etc on it if he proves trustworthy. here's the gauges he wants for it

this is the intank pump it comes with, Aeromotive Stealth 340 part # 11142

i would think it would handle a low boost app if i choose in the future

Sweet I wish my dad would've done this type of stuff with me when I was younger, looks like a good start to a project and decently clean

[ieatz28]

cool truck, lucky kid, great dad

Nice project. He will definitely have more respect for it putting in his own blood, sweat, and tears. That is Very cool!
