Thank you for taking the time to read through. Wish I had more progress to post, but I haven't gotten any updates in a while. We'll be making a trip back to South MS on Aug. 23rd, staying a week with the In-laws. Then we're heading up to my hometown in Northeast MS for my grandmother's 100th birthday party on the 31st. I'll be swinging by my dad's to visit, & I plan to snap a few new pics of "Black Betty."

I agree that it definitely looks better without the rails, & I'm definitely a fan of the Custom cab sails (especially on trucks with trim). I plan to eventually get '66 badges onto the fenders & ditch the '65 ones on the cowl.
