One owner 66'
Well almost there...4 years after pulling her out of a barn where my Dad parked her...I've been driving around the neighbor hood with straight pipes dumping at the oil pan...exhaust will be back to under the bed and rear wiring harness complete. Since she was mine in high school and college...kind of special to me 35 years later. A few pics:

Re: One owner 66'
That's great that you had it in high school and able to rebuild and enjoy again.How many people wish they had their high school car or truck again. Looks great.

Re: One owner 66'
Thanks....Mom is looking for the photo of me at 5yrs old sitting in it when Dad brought it home from the dealer. Motor was in great shape but I wanted to update pistons, rings, valve seats etc.

Re: One owner 66'
That was really cool of your wife to have the seat recovered. Truck looks great.
