60s era hotrod info

Ok, so I have a 66 Econoline Pick-up that I will be starting to work on later this summer. I have been on this site for a while just looking around and reading up. The entire build will not be hamb friendly as I heard someone else say, but I do want to keep the bulk of it era specific. I want to get some good examples of 60s era hotrods. I have done some searches on this site, but have just recently decided that I wanted to keep it more era specific. Does anyone have some pictures or know of some good sites where I can get some ideas of what was being done back then? I am thinking of things like paint ideas, wheels and tires, interior and things like that.

Thanks,
Chad

Thanks for the links. I have seen those threads and am actually subscribed to them. And just for the record, it doesn't have to be econoline specific. All types of cars/trucks are welcome Just trying to get as many good ideas as possible.

Thanks,
Chad

 

Here is one called the "Backup Pickup". An odd, but nicely built truck.

 

I don't know if the threads discuss them, but other trucks were the Little Red Wagon, Chuck Poole's Chuckwagon, a southwestern truck driven by Mexican Pete, and more.

 

I found this thread. Looking through it now.

Reading through that thread showed lots of things going on. It was very informative. This quote really sums up what I am thinking of.

 

Make a search on the HAMB as well as in general for the Alexander Brothers and you'll find a nice asymmetric custom they did. Worth looking into for sure. Some nice builds and posts on Econos here on the hamb as well.
