Thanks guys. And Matt thanks for that warning. I think it's all a GM kind of unit. So not sure about that now. Also I saw that thing with the button inside to keep the stock window crank, I thought that was pretty cool too. I dont know what to do with that yet. Since I have this other 84 I purchased comming to my house in a week I will be able to take long on the 66 if I want. Time isn't an issue anymore. But yeah I will be able to work on it a full day if needed so no problem. I may hold out on the power windows though on the 66 and put that in the 84. I think with the 66 I am going to put the bucket seats in it when I can find some, do the carpet, headliner, door panels and then a few other things and be done with it. I will still paint the 66 so it dont rust more but I don't think I will lower it or nothing.
Less money I put into the 66 then faster I can start on the 48. I do want to start on the 48 in the winter though and get the whole front and rear end all done by mid spring or so.
Here is what I was thinking and put your comment in on this if you can Matt since you are looking into a T bucket. I was thinking maybe using JUST the new 84 for my everyday transportation, clean it up put some nice parts on it and then be done with it. Then taking the 66 out of insurance and tear it apart and make it a drag truck basically but not right away. Take the motor out and get a Tbucket chassis and body and use the C4 tranny, 302 motor and rear end front the 66 (Ford 9") and use it on the T bucket. Oh and if possible use the steering column and box, etc.
I think that would be awsome if I can do that and have all that stuff and be able to finish a Tbucket build cheaply.
This wouldn't be something I would do right now or this year just thinking about it. Probably something AFTER the 48.
