Re: 60-66 pictures thread index
 

Do you have more pics of your truck? Looks good!

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index
 

Only picture I have of mine right now. Long time lurker, getting ready to start working on this bad boy - finally.

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index
 

Oh, and a short introduction if that's fine.

The above '66 GMC is still a little bit of a mystery for me. I'm hot-rod savvy, so here's what I know (so far);

It has around 5K miles on this "build." But the true mileage is unknown to me. As is the original engine/transmission and many other details. It currently has a Chevrolet 350, BowTie Overdrives Stage 2 200-4R (care of me), 12-bolt Positraction rear end, power steering, power brakes (still 4 wheel drum), and an aftermarket/universal A/C system.

Everything else is kinda a crap shoot.

The reason I call this my blessed 66 is because I paid nothing for it. Not a dime. My great uncle purchased it new in Alabama (no title, one of my dilemmas), gave it to my grandfather in the 80s, and he bequethed it to me in 2005. No matter what kind of headaches I might have on the way to fixin' the ol' truck up - I feel blessed to even have such a nice truck.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums.
Nice truck. Nice color. Nice history.

I agree, everything about it looks great and having family history back to new makes it even more special. Good luck on sorting out the paperwork. Hopefully being a family vehicle will help.

Thank you, LostMy65.

Thanks, markeb01. Nothing a surety bonded title won't fix. :metal:

66 Fleet

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index
 

This is my rust bucket '66 C10, it had the white wheels when I got it, I put on some aluminum ones I like, and I changed the cluster when I changed the 3 on the column to a T-5. I rebuilt the 2 bbl six weeks ago because the float was no longer floating (gas coming out of the side of the carb) and now it won't idle, so I'm not enjoying my pickup lately.

How much drop on the front do you have on the blue one

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index
 

[quote=glos55;5688186]This photo reminds me of what mine looked like when we removed the original 800 pound V6. We were using a chain fall over a huge header and the engine was so big there wasn't enough height to clear the fenders. So we had to remove the front wheels and roll the truck back on the brake drums!

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index
 

Pulled the truck out of the barn to wash the engine bay, figured I'd take a few pics because it'll spending the winter inside and lighting isn't good in there.

Re: 60-66 pictures thread index
 

[quote=glos55;5688186] Sorry for the blurry pic....but friend of mine has joined the club....lol 64 long fleet that he will actually use as a truck. It's nice and fast too! Congrats John!

This last one was taken in about '98. No longer with the torsion bar front suspension from the '61. Had a coil-spring 6-lug front end from I believe a 71? C-10. Also didn't have the wides anymore.

At the bottom under the quick reply box is a button that says "go advanced" or something like that. when the screen loads next to the smiley button is a paper clip. Click and a window pops up. You can upload 5 pics at a time.
