K-TEN is that a 16" or 17.5" rim painted red sitting between the trucks?

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Great to see a 409 in one of these trucks. Nice photos, thanks for sharing.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Thanks Mark. I've been doing this Internet Discussion board stuff for well over a decade and it was just last night that I finally figured out how to insert a photo from my Webshots album into a thread! Old trucks are easier.

Hey guys, new member here. Just wanted to throw my pics in the pile. This is the 1966 longbed C-10 I am picking up from a friend of mine. Not too bad for a first truck project, and definitly not the worst place I have started from on a build. BTW, there are some VERY nice trucks in here, and some amazing projects, I can only hope mine will earn it's place among the ranks.:chevy:

It already has! |
Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Fryer welcome to the site. Looks like you got a good start on your truck. You starting a build thread?
|
Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Once I get the truck in my possesion I will get a build thread going. This is actually the condition I am taking over the pickup in, minus the ultra-cool Challenger steering wheel.:lol: Pictures were sent to me this morning from the previous owner, and I will be hauling her back to my shop on Friday the 16th. I'm gonna do this project basically from the ground up so once the '66 is in my possesion I'm going to tear it all down. Plan is a really basic build as a clean daily driver with a 327/700R4 combo, just a nice classic pickup to drive.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Found the site doing some research. Will post pictures soon. In 1966, my dad brought home from the dealer a turqoise/white C-10, fleetside, with 283 and 3 on the tree. I've got a picture when I was five sitting in the cab when he brought it home. After a two day drive from South Carolina with my 13yr old son, my father, and a family friend helped winch it up on a trailer today from the barn its been in since 1993. It will start the trip from OK to SC tomorrow towed behind a 2004 Chevy 2500HD.

Daverod,
Will do. Amazingly good condition inside and out with some surface rust and standard quarter panel issues behind front wheels. Frame is strong and wood bed is preserved due to a camper being on it from 1966 until yesterday. Tailgate came off in 1966 and was stored. Put it back on and the chains look brand new. c-pilot |

All I did was power wash the acorns and squirrel nests out of the engine bay...pic of the rear end.
|
Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
So that's what a "new" tailgate looks like! You will enjoy working on such a pristine, original example of this fine truck!
|
Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Please take a lot of pictures and post them. Were always looking for the real thing for detailing how they were originally. For instance the rear chains and clasp look plated not painted, original?
|
Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks

Certainly. The clasp and chains were put in a box in '66 and pulled out yesterday. They are not painted. Look to be plated--almost like a galvanized finish--except for the hooks which look almost chrome.
Appreciate the pristine comment. But, will require lots of work. Goal is make it look like it did rolling off the dealer's lot. Although the 13yr old asked if we could paint if black with flames--ha/ha. Lots of memories learning to drive this as my first vehicle, and giving her back to dad while in college--the 75 TR-6 took her place for awhile. One more pic. |
Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
A custom, too! What other options are on it?
|
Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Need to check the vin#..but didn't think it was a custom. Dad said she was a basic. You can almost make out the 3 holes where the small mirror was. Dad had the dealer put on large mirrors since he was loading a camper. Believe she is a basic.
|
Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
There was a bright package, comfort package, custom, plus many other factory and dealer available accessories. More pictures would be able to determine what was optioned. Paint code would be nice, looks like Turquoise Poly & Cameo White.
|
Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
you have a nice looking original truck that has history with your family from day one.you are right the tailgate chains were galvanized (zinc) plated from the factory and the fleetside trucks had grey covers on the chains,stepsides had black chain covers.looks like a easy restoration with that nice of a body.
|
Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Will come back with more when I go thru the original paperwork and get her home. Look forward to the expertise you guys offer. Thanks.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
