Today on "Dave's '66 Custom"....I took a couple of guards off on the engine bay and was able to take the grill off without damaging anything....looks like my grandpa may have hit something at some point because the driver's side of the grill is a little banged up, but you really have to look at it to tell. Biggest project so far is going down this weekend (Oct. 6-8). I am going to attempt to take the diamond plate out of the bed by using an angle grinder to brake the welds. There was a very pleasant surprise when I investigated the under part of the bed, the original boards are still in the truck with all the original spacers!!! If I am successful at doing minimal damage to the main part of the bed, I may be looking at a much cheaper remodel on parts for the bed, found that they are quite pricey especially the wood. That's it for this edition of "Dave's '66 Custom". Come back Sunday to find out my success (or failure) of removing the diamond plate from the bed.
