Re: Junkyard find - 66 GMC 1 ton in Columbus, OH

Here's a few things I remember from looking at it:

- GMC specific hood with typical rust on the back sides by internal bracing, dent on pass. side, rust towards front of pass. side, turn signal lenses busted
- GMC dual headlight grill minus the lettering, slight bend where "G" of GMC attaches. white painted. I took the halogen beams and buckets.
-chassis and running gear look real good still, nice and clean frame painted black, very littleframe surface rust; rear end, brakes, suspension, and steering all there. drums up front of course, but easy swap to discs if you care. original single res. master cyl. still. Good chassis for someone looking for one as far as I can
- windshield, door glass and wing windows all there and not cracked.
- external door handles and internal door parts all there, door shells were bent by forklift. inside handles and cranks gone.
-instrument cluster bezel still there, indicator lenses are no good. GMC specific.
-deluxe heater still there, missing defrost lever on controls.
-GMC AM radio, no knob handles
-glove box door minus latch/lock, and ashtray door
-dome light lens broken
-lap belts there?
-good steering column and ignition switch, all other dash switches and horn missing knobs or broken. wiper switch may be good??
-SM420 or SM465 trans, clutch linkages there I think, but Z-bar/belcrank was just hanging there.
-inline 6 cylinder long block, fresh paint on it, no clue on condition. bellhousing to match it (not same as sbc???)
-FLOOR PAN HAS TALL TRANS HUMP THAT IS STILL GOOD, although edges are a little rusted, floormat area towards outsides of cabs is where the floor is totally shot.
-front bumper there but needs rechromed, I didn't notice any dents/bends
-all front sheetmetal there other than the fenders, but I took radiator mounting pieces and radiator as it was wider than my 62's which leaks, having this 66 re-cored.
-in cab gas tank looks good, although someone pulled the sending unit and left it just hanging there. gas cap is locked, no keys.
-there may be more good stuff than this, but that's all I remember off the top of my head.


I got the fuse box and main under dash wiring harness (everything permanently attached to fusebox), rust free
fenders!!!!, hood hinge springs, radiator and brackets, and instrument cluster. I think most of the engine compartment wiring was gone already. Going back maybe for maybe the headlight wiring harness and windshield wiper arms Tuesday.


Hope this can help someone locally.

-Chuck in Columbus, 62 GMC 1000 Panel Truck 305D V6 Saginaw 4 speed swap soon.
