New Guy- 66 GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HillfromTn · 03-27-2011, 09:00 PM

Hey all. Just bought this running, drivable66 GMC for what I think was a bargain, $1375. 230 6 cyl, 3 spd on the column. Could stand to have the rf fender replaced, but is workable. The only rot is a small 1/2 dollar size place in the rf floorpan. Already ordered/received new door panels, handles, seals ect from LMC. Found a chrome grill on CL, scored it and a hood for $150. Starting the bodywork tomarrow, then maybe some smoothies and drop it 3/2. Hope to get some great insite from the forums.

Thanks for the welcome. Can't get them to download. I keep getting a msg to contact admin. I'll try again later.

HillfromTn · 03-27-2011, 09:41 PM

Tried to download the pics again. Received the same msg. It says I'm missing a security token and to contact the administrater. Don't know what that means....

Try this link. Here is the answer to your question. It is from the link. BTW welcome to the forum!!

At times when I try to attach pictures, I get a token error.
This should not happen often after the server upgrade is complete. If it does, simply resize your pictures to 640x480 or smaller and try again. This usually fixes the issue.

The other major factor in token errors, is outdated browsers. If your browser is not up to date, expect to get random errors.

Welcome! Can't go wrong with a GMC. You scored with that grille if its in good shape, I've seen them go fo $400 on ebay. Speaking of ebay, I just saw some chrome headlight bezles on the yesterday (in case your new grille doesn't include them).

Welcome to the forum

Nice looking truck. Do you have any upgrade plans for the drivetrain?

HillfromTn · 03-28-2011, 01:55 AM

As of now I'm just concentrating on the body and interior. Maybe later a sb/4 speed upgrade, but then again the 6 cyl is differant for me.

duallyjams · 03-28-2011, 08:50 AM

great price for a great starter truck.
