Love thy neighbor .....66' short fleet.
 

Here we go..... Tuesday 4:30 PM I'm minding my own business sitting on the toilet doing a crossword puzzle, the doorbell rings, it's my neighbor from down the street that I have never spoken to in the last 12 years that I have lived here but we always wave to each other, :lol: I open my door and he says that he owns a used car dealership and some people came in stating that they just inherited a 66' Chevy pick up from their late father's estate and was he interested in purchasing it? He said no....but he said he knew someone that might be.... ;) I think you get the picture, 30 minutes later I'm sealing the deal and Wednesday at 4:30 I'm driving home this stock 1 owner rustfree 66' short fleet which sports a 292 6cyl and a powerglide. It's funny how this truck looks like a cleaned up version of my concrete truck. :chevy:







Yes, that's a spotlight on top. :mm:

Geez ! That looks clean , I need to sit on the toilet and do crossword puzzles more !;)

Re: Love thy neighbor .....66' short fleet.
 

Man, that thing is pretty clean. Great score.

I do have a question though. Where would those stickers have been found? (the ones that says what motor and extras are on the truck)

Re: Love thy neighbor .....66' short fleet.
 

So this means you are going to buy me one for Christmas right????:lol:

Re: Love thy neighbor .....66' short fleet.
 

Thanks guys so much, you know I saw this truck last December driving down the road to the auto parts store, I inquired about buying it back then....speaking to the spry owner age 94 I believe (and he was being driven :lol:), he said it was very rare to find a 292/auto combo (is that true?) so he would want an outrages amount of money for it. Here,s a few more pic's. :chevy:





BTW- That's a pair of gloves on the mat, not what you think! ;)

Re: Love thy neighbor .....66' short fleet.
 

Well, my 64 3/4 ton came with a 292 and a powerglide. I wouldn't say it is "Rare" it is somewhat...but won't make more value..because of the looooong rev travel before shifting...and a 6 likes to shift quickly.

Re: Love thy neighbor .....66' short fleet.
 

Whenever I'm taking a dump and the doorbell rings and it's someone asking me to buy something..... how come it's never a nice Chevy short fleet ?

Nice truck. Everything happens for a reason. Enjoy.

Re: Love thy neighbor .....66' short fleet.
 

Im came with a 292 and powerglide. I would say they were not a very popular combination, but i enjoy it!!

Re: Love thy neighbor .....66' short fleet.
 

Man that is a nice truck!

They just come knocking on your freaking door now.... unbelievable!!!! :D

Re: Love thy neighbor .....66' short fleet.
 

Not too rare after all.

Sorry, I heard you have been naughty. :lol:

Those are found on the inside of glove box door.

Hey Oso, you just made the wife's day!!!!! :)

Keith, you know I have an extra 63' grill lying around!!!! :rolleyes:

Sounds tempting!!!!

Sorry, top secret information. :mm:
