Christmas in September 66 c10
I have lots of projects. Way to many. Then I hear about some old blue truck for sale. Turns out to be a 66 c10 swb big window. I normally flip cars. I may have to make room in the garage for this gem. I got it home a put a magnet all over it. Solid, solid, solid I am amazed how good this truck is. Only minor rust bubbles in a few places. Hood has minor rust on one corner. This truck must have spent most of it's life inside. Stay tuned for details.

Re: Christmas in September 66 c10
All the trim is worth something in itself! Is that all factory or has it been restored before?

Re: Christmas in September 66 c10
Ok I have spent all day looking at wood for the bed and seat covers. Reading about brakes and 5 lug conversions. This site has a lot of good information.
My plans....... Get it running. Lower a few inches. New wood. Cover seat. Change back glass. cruise. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Christmas in September 66 c10
Score!! I don't think I've ever seen a sliding back glass for a BBW. I kinda like it.
Congrats...

Re: Christmas in September 66 c10
Just went thur glove box and found original owners manual, protecto plate some old registrations and some other papers relating to past transactions. I can't wait to get time to get started.
Truck began life in NC and looks to have one repaint. Floors have some amateur patches that I will cut out and fix correctly. I am excited with this truck, this was someone's baby. All trim looks original Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Christmas in September 66 c10
