Default Re: The seldom seen 1966 Sport Trim option - a REAL short wideside has been found!

caddy engine still in the truck but freshly rebuilt... the modifications necessary to undo what was done to accommodate the 500 Caddy motor and, th400 transmission and so forth was prohibitive....

so far I have rebuilt the motor and transmission, replaced all the front suspension components (ball joints , drag link etc.) upgraded the front to disc brakes and changed out the master cylinder so that the truck actually stops.... rewired a good part of the electrical.

current projects are to continue to try to revive the original wood bed which is in decent shape and to have the buddy seat reupholstered in the original dark and light gray configuration

I am sure it wont make the purist happy but had to move forward with what was done..PXL_20231007_230335582.jpg
