Just cant do it - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found this poor 66 the other day and was able to buy it. Some how the frame behind the cab was rusted in half. There was hardly any of it left but the cab forward is fairly solid. I was going to part it out and use some parts for my truck I am building but I have a swb frame found and will be putting this thing back on the road. It has the 283 and 3 speed still in it. The dash is real nice and the radio has not been cut.

That does look nice. I wonder what happened to the bed?

If you look behind it that is what is left of the trailing arm. I dont know if it was full of fertilizer or what.
